kenny vs blaine
me with Kenny Hotz
It was a very exciting lunch hour today. I had a dentist appointment for a checkup and as I was walking along King Street, I looked next to Starbucks and saw a small film crew. The sound guy looked familiar and the guy they were filming had his back towards me but I thought I knew who it was. I decided to check it out to confirm and walked past them. Sure enough, it was Kenny Hotz from Kenny vs Spenny. I yelled, “when’s the next season start?” Kenny shouted back “October 16″. I realized this would make a great blog post, so I pulled out my cameraphone, the trusty Nokia 6682, to capture the moment. Kenny said he remembered me from the previous time I ran into him and stopped him to talk and said he reads my blog. He’s left comments here as well. I’ve got celebrity readership! After the photo, he says “film him…get him on the show”. Camera’s rolling and he asks me to borrow $5. I grabbed my wallet, whipped out $5 and handed it over. I said “anything to help you beat Spenny” and started to walk away. Kenny said, “in that case, I should have asked for $20″. I figure with all the laughs this show has given me, it’s well worth $5 for my entertainment and this way I give a little back. This form of payment is way better than coughing up $12 to see a Hollywood movie and then finding out how bad it sucks.
So, I’ll be anxiously awaiting the start of Kenny vs Spenny Season 3, Sunday, October 16 at 9:30 p.m. ET/PT on Showcase. For one, to see the new episodes, and secondly, to see if I make it onto the show. If you haven’t seen the show yet, you owe it to yourself to do so. Read my previous article about the show.
I’ve posted the cameraphone photos at my flickr page.
UPDATE: Kenny left comments to this post saying they were filming episode 12 of 13, “Who can be homeless for longer” and my $5 donation went towards paying for his lunch.
check out youtube for clips from the show if you’re interested in a preview of what the shows are like. They were also on Conan O’Brien, see the clip here.

That must have been some experience meeting Kenny,have him remember you, he seems like a really nice, delightful
fella, I wonder if I’ll be able to meet him when I
go up there to Toronto this fall, I’ve been keeping in
touch with him on myspace.com,Blain, would you be able to
record the third season of ‘Kenny VS. Spenny’ for me
from Showcase, I live in Denver, Colorado so I can’t
get it, I have a friend who’s been recording the first
season for me from CBC in Windsor. My email address

OMG! Your so lucky! I would love to meet Kenny! Hes so hilarious! I deff wanted to look up his address when I visit T.O and knock on the door just to see if he answers so I could meet him! lol I know that would deff be embarrassing cause I dont know him and im going to his house.
If Kenny reads this and has facebook or wants to email me he can ..its a long shot but its worth a try cause he reads the site.
