The late 2025 TV schedule has been short on new comedies, but NBC added a jolt of energy to its Friday night comedy lineup with Stumble, a new mockumentary about the world of junior college cheerleading. The projects hails from sibling duo Liz and Jeff Astrof, who came to primetime this fall with plenty of successful comedies to their names. They spoke with CinemaBlend about bringing a mockumentary about cheer to the small screen as well as the atmosphere on set that's an improvement on what they've experienced in the past.
Stumble stars Claws vet Jenn Lyons as Courteney Potter, a successful cheer coach who's ousted from the team she put together after being caught on camera making some "best booty" comments to her performers. She relocates to Headltston State Junior College to start over, leaving her former assistant Tammy Istiny (Kristin Chenowith) to step up for her old team, with the support of her husband Boone (SNL vet Taran Killam). (The premiere is available streaming now with a Peacock subscription.)
