As if NBC's new cheerleading comedy Stumble wasn't packed with enough star power, the mockumentary is also serving up a series of guest stars worth cheering for.
The sitcom follows Courteney Potter (Jenn Lyon), a champion cheer coach who's fired from her school after a video surfaces of her drinking and partying with the members of her team. She scores a job at another school, Headltston State Junior College, but has to start from scratch and assembles a less-than-stellar team she's hoping to lead to the championships.
Courteney is married to her high school sweetheart, Boon E. Potter, the football coach for the junior college that his wife was canned from.
