The End of an Era

            Usually during the days leading up to Christmas people are happy, excited and filled with holiday cheer. But, this year is going to be a little different. For me and my friends this is going to be a time of sorrow, sadness, and the feeling of being alone. That’s right this December 23^rd The Showcase Original “Kenny VS Spenny” will be undergoing its series finale. The one hour special will air at 9:00PM on Showcase.

           After 6 long seasons (87 episodes), 87 challenges this duo will have their final shot at glory in one final challenge. It’s going to be a Christmas special and the challenge will be based around “Who can make a better Christmas-themed variety show.”

           It is definitely one of the most underrated shows out there. I’ve seen every single episode and can honestly say that there wasn’t a bad one. A few of the episodes were even written/produced by the creators of South Park (Matt Stone, Trey Parker). Some of my favourtie challenges include:

• Who can drink the most beer? Kenny wins by drinking non-alcoholic beer. Humiliation:  Spenny is forced to eat Kenny’s puke.
• Who can win a 10 mile race? Kenny tricks Spenny into thinking that Kennys mom dies (sends Spenny to a random funeral). Spenny realizes that Ms Hotz isn’t dead, and comes back to win the 10 mile race… because Kenny was walking. Humiliation: Kenny gets spanked by his mom
• Who can imitate the other guy better? This was an absolutely incredible episode. Both Kenny and Spenny perform very obnoxious imitations of each other. Kenny ends up winning because spenny breaks character. Humiliation: Spencer must say rude things to people on the street based on what Kenny tells him to via earpiece.

Early in their careers

            I’m really hoping that Kenny will beat Spenny one last time, and take his methods of cheating to a whole new level. Wikipedia will tell you that Kenny has won about 70% of the contests (obviously cheating for all of them). 

            Both Kenny Hotz and Spencer Rice are moving on with their lives, and each undertaking new projects that will air on Showcase next year. Spenny is starting a new show called "Single White Spenny", and Kenny has a new show called "Kenny Hotz's- Triumph of the Will" and both will air on Showcase.

           
           This is truly the end of an era, but I look forward to seeing it all wrap up. For more information on Kenny Hotz or Spencer Rice check out Showcase.
