Sponk! is a children's television game show produced by Sesame Workshop and Insight Productions for the Noggin channel.

The series reran on Nickelodeon on Sunday mornings, starting September 16.^[3]

The premise of Sponk! was improvisational comedy, similar to the show Whose Line Is It Anyway? Two teams of performers depicted suggestions in a variety of games. Viewers suggested their ideas by submitting them to the Noggin website. "SID" (Suggestion & Idea Distributor) was the name of the computer on the show that picked the ideas submitted by Noggin.com members. From 2002 to 2004, Noggin aired reruns of Sponk! as part of its nighttime programming block, The N.^[4]
