    Just the beginning

    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!

    Kenny Hotz take on some of the world's biggest challenges, in a daring, original and brilliant new show.

    Having been a fan of Kenny versus Spenny (KvS) for many years, I always wondered what they were going to do once the show wrapped. For me Kenny had always been the star of KvS and so the bar was set pretty high for the first of Kenny Hotz's solo projects, the series Testees. It wasn't as brilliant as I wanted it to be, but then again it was a totally different show to KvS with relatively unknown actors. The thing that always struck me about Kenny Hotz was that in KvS he came across as effortlessly hilarious, brilliantly puerile and someone who to quote Dead Poets Society (why not) would be in a high school year book... "The person most likely to do anything". Triumph of The Will is Kenny Hotz's new show, it recently aired and having watched the first four episodes I can proudly say that this is a brilliant new show, and a great idea. It's executed perfectly, beautifully shot, it's hilarious, it's daring, it doesn't care if you're offended or not and it's above all a show for adults and doesn't treat you like a child that needs to be spoon fed easily digestible television. In short it's the show I always wanted Kenny Hotz to do after Kenny versus Spenny. It's clever and original. Original ideas are sadly a rarity these days, it's wonderfully refreshing to have such a great new show to look forward to watching. Check it out!

    This show is incredible.

    This show is amazing. Kenny vs. Spenny was brilliant. KVS brought 2 polar opposites pitting against each other in a competition with hilarious and many times shocking results. In KVS, Kenny was the laid back, offensive, hilarious evil genius. In Triumph Of The Will, Kenny brings out a whole new persona. Hes smart, caring, confident and daring. This show is absolutely hilarious and insanely entertaining. This show is proof that Kenny doesn't need Spenny around to make fun of, he is a hilarious visionary on his own. I advise everybody reading this review to buy season 1 on iTunes. This show NEEDS a second season. Bravo Kenny, Bravo.

    Just pure awesome

    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!

    Hotz's Triumph: Brilliant Canadian Television

    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.
