I believe the answer is:

telegenic

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'appealing on set' is the definition.
The definition suggests an adjective which matches the answer.

'stage entice running around' is the wordplay.
'stage' becomes 'leg' (a leg is a stage of a competition).
'running' is an anagram indicator.
'around' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'entice' is an anagram of 'teenic'.
'leg' inserted into 'teenic' is 'TELEGENIC'.

'or' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for telegenic that I've seen before include "Nice to watch" , "nice on screen too" , "attractive on screen" , "Coming over on the tube" , "having broadcast appeal" .)
