On Friday, December 5, 2025, NBC’s comedy series “Stumble” will make adjustments to its schedule. The episode, titled “Button Day,” will air later than usual due to a holiday special. This change comes as the network presents “Rudolph The Red-Nosed Reindeer” at 8 p.m. ET/PT, pushing “Stumble” to 9:45 p.m. ET/PT.
What to Expect in “Button Day”
The upcoming episode focuses on Coach Courteney Potter, played by Jenn Lyon. She is determined to secure financial support for her cheer team, known as the Buttons. The team is preparing to showcase a routine filled with aerial stunts during a local event.

Plot Details
In this episode, Courteney negotiates with the owner of the Button Factory for funding. The deal promises a significant donation if her team performs spectacularly. However, with the show’s top flyer, Krystal, out due to injury, Courteney must consider promoting an untested cheerleader, Peaches, for the performance.

The show balances cheer training with personal challenges. In previous episodes, one character, Sally, portrayed by Georgie Murphy, faced homelessness, leading Courteney to offer her a place to stay. This subplot adds depth to the narrative and highlights the challenges the team members face.
