Kenny Hotz's Triumph of the Will

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!

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.

Its new its fresh its different

I have watched the first 4 episodes and been stunned in shock and enthralled with laughter it makes you laugh it makes you cry and everything in between. The fact that it is so different means you are automatically intrigued. When people who follow this sort of media hear the name Kenny Hotz they think kenny vs spenny but this is kenny vs kenny and kenny vs the world with the added humour we saw in kenny vs spenny. I look forward to the rest of the episodes and for kenny's future projects his solo career is just beginning sit back and enjoy the ride its just beginning i think that i can say for all fans of kenny WE LOVE THIS KENNY!

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.

Read a lot of great reviews for this show so my expectations were high, but I was not prepared for what I saw. It was beyond amazing, its unlike anything else on TV and its different from KVS and Testees, which I loved as well (other Kenny Hotz shows). In a way, it is like watching a news story done by a deranged lunatic genius.

It always seems that comedians are the least afraid of telling it like it is, (ie. Lenny Bruce) which you would think should be the key trait to any good journalist. Unfortunately, most journalists are incredibly politically correct, so its very refreshing to see Kenny's take on interesting subjects, its different, more honest and more funny.

Best show out there!
