Bunk is a comedy television game show hosted by Kurt Braunohler on IFC in 2012. It was greenlit[further explanation needed] after being shown at the New York Television Festival.[3] The show featured a rotating panel of three comedian contestants responding to comedic game show prompts in an improvised way.[4] Notable contestants included Dana Gould, Kumail Nanjiani, Eugene Mirman and Alex Borstein.[5]

During an appearance on The Best Show on WFMU with Tom Scharpling, Braunohler announced that Bunk had been canceled.[6]
