''Sponk!'' is a PanelGame show that aired between premiered in September 2001 and March 2002 on Creator/{{Noggin}}. It can be basically summed up as a kid-friendly, Nickelodeon kid-friendly take on ''Series/WhoseLineIsItAnyway''.
''Series/WhoseLineIsItAnyway''. It was produced by Creator/SesameWorkshop, which co-owned the Noggin channel at the time.



Sadly, the show has been basically buried from existence by Nickelodeon. The show last aired on January 1, 2003, which was around the time Noggin was heavily retooled from a network focused on teenagers heavily utilizing the Sesame Workshop library to a preschooler-centric network heavily relying on Nick Jr. shows. As such, for the longest time, [[KeepCirculatingTheTapes trying to find episodes of the show was about as easy as finding a needle in a haystack]]. It wouldn't be until 2018, nearly 15 years since the show's last airing, that at least five to six episodes would resurface online; you can see them [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ngxOGXc6UQI here]].

Hosted by Johnathan [=McClain=], the show pit a group of teenagers into a red and blue team, who would perform improvisational sketches against a 1-minute time limit. The ideas for the sketches would be submitted by the home audience through Noggin's website, which would be randomly picked by the show's mascot and announcer, SID (voiced by Karen Fowler). The StudioAudience participated as judges for the sketches, voting for a specific team using a side of their "Spaddle"; they could also yell "SPONK!" to disqualify a contestant. The winner would receive the Sponk Trophy, a golden rubber turkey.

The show's cast includes Julia Kay, Tim Dorsch, Scott Irby-Rainnar, Lori Wells, Miles Thompson, Allie Berdebes, Vanessa Lengies, and Louie Torrellas.
