Guy Branum is the creator and host of truTV’s Talk Show The Game Show, a hilarious mashup of two beloved television formats that pits comedians and celebrities against each other for the title of “Best Guest of the Night."

Why'd We Book It?

Guy has been making us (and you!) laugh for years on the couches/panels of so many talk shows it's impossible to keep track. Whether he's making Taylor Tomlinson cry laughing on @Midnight, making Paul Feig twerk for Kelly Clarkson, or winning a Comedy Central Roast Battle - he's become a beloved fixture of the circuit and always a favorite guest. He's written on The Other Two, The Mindy Project, A League of their Own, and Hacks - hey, those are all shows we love! We're so excited to be welcoming him to Bottlerocket for a special SUNDAY night show!
