In 2012, Hunt appeared on NBC's Who Do You Think You Are?, a show showing celebrities learning about their family tree. The 12 new episodes of the series focused on the once young and newlywed Jamie and Paul Buchman (Paul Reiser) wondering what to do with themselves after their only child leaves for college.
