Watch an intense yet hilarious scene from the new cheerleading comedy series Stumble. Coach Courteney Potter (Jenn Lyon) faces a tough challenge as she tries to unite a disorganized new team.
This new NBC comedy is inspired by the success of Netflix’s Cheer docuseries and even features Monica Aldama in a key role. It follows Courteney as she works to rebuild her career after a major setback by coaching at a new school.
In the preview clip, the ragtag squad members tussle on the mat, prompting Courteney to intervene:
Hey, cut it out! We don’t have time to be dealing with this kinda nonsense.
Despite her efforts, the team fails to form a simple human pyramid and gets into another pushing match. Courteney scolds them sharply:
Knock it off! Ya’ll can’t even throw a simple pyramid. How ya’ll gonna compete at Daytona, huh?
Courteney's brassy attitude shines as she confronts two boys on the team, Steven (Ryan Pinkston) and Dimarcus (Jarrett Austin Brown), before tearfully ending practice:
Practice is over.
After the meltdown, Coach Courteney seeks solace at a candy button factory, humorously noted as “open every day except Christmas and Tuesdays.”
Summary: Stumble blends intense coaching moments with humor, showcasing Courteney's determined yet heartfelt efforts to shape her chaotic cheerleading team.
