## Resource

When Jenn Lyon was offered the role of cheer coach Courteney on NBC’s mockumentary series, “Stumble,” (new episodes Fridays at 8:30/7:30c & streaming the next day on Peacock) it was almost too good to be true. Jenn was obsessed with the Netflix “Cheer” documentary upon which “Stumble” is based, and she had been a JV cheerleader herself back in the day. Jenn is hilarious and talks to me about her roots in sketch comedy; her favorite mockumentary shows and movies; the perils of clip-on bangs, and her delusions of grandeur before making it big in showbiz. 00:00 Beanies, Clip-On Bangs & Suffering 01:40 Mockumentaries & Christopher Guest Obsession 03:00 JV Cheer in North Carolina (Barely Survived) 04:55 What Stumble Is Really About 06:30 Hidden Jokes & Easter Eggs on Set 08:10 Improvising vs Scripted Comedy 09:45 Working with Taran Killam 14:30 Larry David on Broadway 16:50 Stunt Doubles & “Stunt Triples” 19:10 Moving to NYC with Delusional Confidence 21:15 Getting Beat Up as a Moose 23:00 Early YouTube Comedy Days 27:45 True Crime, Dateline & Cult Podcasts 32:50 Losing Everything in the Fire 36:30 Dreaming of Being Murdered on Law & Order This is another Hurrdat Media Production.
