Kristin Chenoweth Joins ‘Stumble’ NBC Comedy Pilot

Kristin Chenoweth has joined the cast of Stumble, NBC's single-camera cheerleading comedy pilot. She is set to recur should the pilot go to series.

It centers on Courteney Potter (Jenn Lyon), a top junior college cheer coach who is pushed out over a controversial video and forced to take a job at a little know school. Courteney’s longtime assistant coach, once a star flyer herself, Tammy lives and dresses in her heyday, circa 1989, still sporting a high pony, cheer makeup and a Cherry Coke slushie. The musical, which has reunited her with Wicked composer Stephen Schwartz, made its world premiere at Boston’s Emerson Colonial Theatre last year and will make its Broadway debut in the 2025-26 season.
