I stumbled upon the phrase すごいその, while watching the tv programme. At first, I
thought it means "That's amazing" because

> すごい = Amazing
>
> その = That

However, I was told by my Japanese friend that it means "Let me see" or the
speakers was stammering and thinking about what to say next in this context.

I couldn't really check this on any websites, so can someone explain this to
me?

Meaning of すごいその
その all by itself can work as a filler similar to "well" or "er".

すごい is an adjective meaning "amazing", but it also works as an intensifying
adverb similar to "really", "fairly", "quite", "pretty", etc. Although not
technically a filler, sometimes it may be used like a filler, too, because
this type of すごい means almost nothing without the following adjective.

So it is possible that すごいその is just two words, "very, er...", "quite, um...",
"really, well...", or such, said as a filler in a sentence. But we need more
context to determine what this really means.

Example:

> この絵は……すごい…その…個性的だね。  
>  This picture is......very....um..."unique."
