The Paper will not air its season finale as planned over the rest of January—instead, the remaining three episodes of the Peacock series air on January 3rd. The comedy has already been renewed for a second season.
Variety revealed that Stumble reruns will air in the 8:30 pm timeslot on Monday nights. The following was revealed about the placement of Stumble on Mondays:
“NBC execs hope to add more momentum to Stumble, which will air in the additional Monday slot through Feb. 2 (with the exception of an NBA game on Jan. 19). That Monday 8:30 p.m. slot will eventually be taken over by new comedy The Fall and Rise of Reggie Dinkins, which premieres with an hour-long episode on Feb. 23 at 8 p.m. ET, before settling into 8:30 p.m. the following week, on March 2.”
Jenn Lyon, Taran Killam, Ryan Pinkston, Jarrett Austin Brown, Anissa Borrego, Arianna Davis, Taylor Dunbar, and Georgie Murphy star in the NBC comedy series, which takes viewers into the world of junior college cheerleading.
What do you think? Do you enjoy Stumble? Are you hoping the increased exposure helps it get renewed?
Sooooo they’re taking a streaming approach. How appropriate.
The Paper seems like a poor man’s The Office. I get that some people will find the humor in it and maybe it’ll get better with more character development in the second season, but I gave it multiple chances and it wasn’t getting more entertaining.
I get a kick out of Stumble and think the Monday exposure will help. I recognized Jenn Lyon from “Claws” and think she and Taran Killam are a great pair. Kristin Chenowith is a delight as the rival coach and her former assistant and the cheer squad members are fun and quirky, especially the narcoleptic tumbler. Anybody who has spent time at a junior college will like it. I hope it can hang on and get a second season.
