A one-camera mockumentary-style comedy about college cheerleading is virtually sneaking onto NBC this week. 

Although it was apparently announced last July, the show, called “Stumble,” is still so unknown that it does not even have its own Wikipedia page yet. 

How do I know this? Because some network publicity departments today provide so few details about their upcoming new shows that I have to turn to Wikipedia if I want to fill in the blanks.

For a show to not be on Wikipedia just days before its premiere is virtually unheard of. And yet, here comes “Stumble” stumbling onto NBC’s Friday lineup at 8:30 p.m. Eastern following the second-season premiere of the Reba McEntire barroom comedy “Happy’s Place.”

The Friday-night comedy hour is one of two that NBC is setting up this month. The other one falls into place next Monday night, November 10, with the second-season return of the hospital mockumentary “St. Denis Medical” at 8 Eastern followed by another one-camera comedy, “The Paper,” at 8:30.

“The Paper” is the workplace comedy from producer Greg Daniels, showrunner on “The Office,” about a Toledo newspaper on life support. The show premiered on Peacock in September and is now to be repurposed on NBC.

If you are keeping score, that’s three mockumentaries and one traditional three-camera comedy (“Happy’s Place”) in NBC prime time this month.

“Knowing how much ‘The Office’ was beloved by a broadcast audience when it aired on NBC, we wanted to give ‘The Paper’ a similar opportunity to connect,” said Lisa Katz, president of scripted programing for NBCU Entertainment.

NBCU is so pleased with the performance of “The Paper” on Peacock that it has already ordered a second season. 

“Stumble” stars Jenn Lyon (above photo) as Courteney Potter, the coach of a cheerleading squad at fictional Sammy Davis Sr. Junior College. The school is run by a dean named David Martin, or Dean Martin, for short.

Kristin Chenoweth, 57, also stars as Tammy Istiny (probably pronounced “Is Tiny” in reference to Chenoweth’s petite 4’11” height), a coaching rival.

Taran Killam plays Courteney’s husband Boon E. Potter, who coaches the football team at the same college. His name is likely a reference to the sitcom’s small-town location -- i.e., the “boonies.
