Kenny Hotz's Triumph of the Will
Coming off the widely successful Kenny vs. Spenny, Kenny Hotz wanted to move forward with creating a series that had more meaning for him. He came up with the idea to tackle newsworthy issues that would be both appealing and have meaning for audiences. Kenny vs. Spenny was a show about two friends trying to win a competition, says Hotz. There were some moralistic values in it so it did have some meaning but Kenny Hotzs Triumph Of The Will has real heart.

Kenny, the diabolical schemer, has bamboozled a half-hour special episode out of the CBC, where he once again plans to throw Spenny under the ‘ambulance’ to make it great. Some things never change.
