Kenny Hotz's Triumph of the Will

It's not really a secret that today's Canadian television content is horrendous. Most television in general is horrible but the Canadian broadcasters have a real knack for playing the safe hand when it comes to originality. Because of this, we're given shows that don't try anything new but only try to mimic the larger budget American productions. So to see something as unique and brilliant as Kenny Hotz's Triumph of the Will slip through the cracks and make it on to television really gives one hope that someday the Canadian film and television industry will embrace the homegrown talent and stop trying to be American.

Taking a journalistic approach to his antics, Kenny Hotz throws himself against human morality and tackles some of life's problems with a unique perspective and artistic production values. Whether it be making it as an immigrant by starting off in the Nevada desert stark naked without a single penny to his name or finding true love for his widowed Mother, Kenny will entertain like none other.

The sad part to this though will be the struggle for the show to see a life past the 6 episode, first season. Already fighting an uphill battle, the show has been given a Friday time slot and is being broadcast on Action Showcase oppose to the mother channel, Showcase. But that doesn't mean it's over. If you haven't seen it already, go watch it immediately (you can find the first 4 episodes on the Action Showcase website). For those of you unsure about it, it's not Kenny vs Spenny but you would be wrong to dismiss it for that reason. People grow with time, most often moving onto greater things and in this case it's no different. Kenny Hotz's Triumph of the Will is one of many steps towards greater Canadian content and in the end, it all boils down to what people as a whole watch.

I've loved Kenny Hotz from "Kenny Vs. Spenny", So I had to watch Triumpth of the Will, I have never seen a show like this on Television,The first episode we saw, Everything felt completely unique,The way we see the show, with the editing and camera views are something I have never seen before.

The Show itself, Has Kenny challenging himself, This leads to some challenges that can be titled as insane.

The whole Series didn't feel like it was on a single shade, which is a good thing for variety. Each episode has its moments, From Laughing out loud and Heartwarming moments to having your jaw drop in shock.

Overall this show is one of a kind, And can only be done by Kenny Hotz Himself.

Triumph of the Will is a more mature and a more evolved piece of programming. If you are looking for this show to be a Kenny only version of Kenny vs Spenny, you are looking in the wrong place. You should approach this show as more a documentary rather than a gross out, shock jockfest. With an open mind comes an appreciation of what Kenny Hotz is really trying to do with this show. It is something unlike any show out there and it is worth watching and appreciating. There are plenty of laughs, don't get me wrong, and if you are willing to open your mind to new experiences, Triumph of the Will will deliver on a level that you wouldn't normally expect.

Out of all the mindless drivel and unoriginal, predictable plots that the average television viewer is bombarded with on a daily basis, it is remarkably refreshing to find an instant classic such as this.

Kenny Hotz, of Testees and Kenny VS Spenny fame, is back in this new television spectacle. Fans of KVS are no strangers to the often crass and rude jokes and pranks of Mr. Hotz, but it is safe to say that he has grown up quite a lot.

The show pits Kenny, the star of the show, against several challenges set by himself. Though the odds are always against him, he usually ends up triumphing. For example, in one episode, he attempts to find his elderly mother love, and in another he tries to build a Jewish-funded mosque.

Kenny Hotz, though obviously more mature, still has a lot of energy and joking around left in him. He often shows another side of himself not often portrayed in Kenny VS Spenny, but will change it around and surprise you with that good old Hotz humour. The show is always fresh and interesting, and as a huge fan of Kenny VS Spenny, it is wonderful and fascinating to learn more about who he is.

Fans of Kenny Vs Spenny may be disappointed, as there is much less toilet and frat boy type humour, but I hope that the show will attract many fans, new and old, to experience the charm that the program has to offer.

This show is not for everyone, but I think that it should be given a chance, as it may surprise fans of Kenny Hotz, and even those who are not so fond of him. Overall, it is a fresh, funny, interesting show, and I highly recommend it. It gets a perfect score from me.

Triumph of the will was simply amazing. Not only did the mother episode actually almost make me cry, the Kennibal episode got my girlfriend pregnant (were naming him Kenny!).

But in all seriousness, I loved how it was a cross between documentary and comedy. It reminded me of "Penn and Tellers Bullshit!". Yours was better of course and I'm really hoping for a new season. I applaud you, you did a stand up job.

One thing people will notice in this show is its a more "real" Kenny. In Kenny vs Spenny, Mr. Hotz was constantly harassing Spenny and doing whatever it took to win. Now with this, you get to see a more thoughtful, down to earth, less "evil" Kenny which is a great change. I loved him in KvS, don't get me wrong, but after this season i have much more respect for him.

Cant wait for season two!
