NBC is ending its linear run of Peacock’s “The Paper” earlier than expected. Instead, starting on Jan. 5, NBC will air episodes of its freshman comedy “Stumble” in the Monday at 8:30 p.m. ET time slot — where broadcast-friendly versions of “The Paper” have been airing since Nov. 10.
New episodes of “Stumble” will continue to air on Fridays at 8:30 p.m., behind “Happy’s Place.” But NBC execs hope to give “Stumble” some extra exposure by placing repeats, starting with the show’s pilot episode, on Mondays behind “St. Denis Medical.”
