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.
