If you haven't binge-watched Netflix's Cheer yet, then you're missing out on Navarro's peppiest cheerleader and the king of "mat talk," Jeremiah Harris. The six-part docuseries follows the nationally ranked 40-member Navarro College Cheer Team from Corsicana, TX, as they prepare to compete in the NCA Collegiate National Championships — and while it's seriously nerve-racking, the team can always depend on Jerry to keep their spirits (and their flyers) lifted. Since appearing on Cheer, the Chicago native has made appearances on The Ellen DeGeneres Show and on the 2020 Oscars red carpet as a correspondent, and his star only continues to rise.
