'Stumble' First Look: Coach Courteney Faces a Team Meltdown
The upcoming NBC comedy series Stumble delivers a mix of chaos and humor in this first look, featuring Jenn Lyon as Coach Courteney Potter. The show, inspired by Netflix’s cheerleading phenomenon Cheer and featuring Monica Aldama in a notable role, follows Courteney as she tries to revive her coaching career at a new school after a major setback.
A Rocky Start for the New Squad
In the preview clip, Courteney struggles to unify her new, undisciplined cheer team. When several teammates start bickering during practice, she steps in to restore order.
“Hey, cut it out! We don’t have time to be dealing with this kinda nonsense.”
Her frustration grows as the team fumbles through building a human pyramid, devolving into more chaos.
“Knock it off! Ya’ll can’t even throw a simple pyramid. How ya’ll gonna compete at Daytona, huh?”
Breaking Point and Comic Relief
After scolding two teammates, Steven (Ryan Pinkston) and Dimarcus (Jarrett Austin Brown), Courteney reaches her emotional limit and ends practice in tears.
“Practice is over.”
The clip ends on a humorous note as she heads to the candy button factory to console herself, which, in a playful mock commercial moment, is said to be “open every day except Christmas and Tuesdays.”
