Comedy Central Picks Up Canadian Series Kenny Vs. Spenny

NEW YORK, October 1: Through an agreement with Blueprint
Entertainment and Breakthrough Films & Television, Comedy Central has
acquired ten new episodes of the reality comedy series Kenny vs. Spenny, premiering
November 14.

As part of the deal the network will also license 10 existing
episodes from the Kenny vs. Spenny library.

Kenny vs. Spenny pits
childhood friends against each other in silly competitions. The winner achieves
short-term bragging rights, while the loser must perform a humiliating stunt of
the winner’s choosing.

The series was created by and stars Kenny Hotz and Spencer
Rice, with South Park creators Trey
Parker and Matt Stone joining the executive team for the new episodes. The new
episodes will be produced by Blueprint Entertainment and Breakthrough Films
& Television in association with Showcase in Canada.

"Kenny vs. Spenny is a show that everyone can directly relate to,” said
Lauren Corrao, Comedy Central’s executive VP of original programming and development.
“Who among us hasn't challenged someone to a staring contest or dared a friend
to wear a dead octopus on their head longer than you can? Viewers in Canada
have really taken to the on-going rivalry between Kenny and Spenny, taking
sides and rooting for their favorite. When Matt Stone and Trey Parker wanted to
be involved in bringing the show to Comedy Central, it was a collaboration we
couldn't resist."
