Talk:Kenny Hotz/Archive 1

Quotes
I commented out the quotes section, as they ad nothing to the article. S facets 04:35, 28 February 2007 (UTC)

Date Of Birth?
I'm not sure if 1967 is accurate. His myspace page says he is 34. Ignore this if I'm incorrect. Matrimonial 02:07, 1 December 2007 (UTC)

Date of Birth (2)
The first sentence says year is 1967, but is categorized as 1973. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 137.186.69.249 (talk) 01:26, 10 December 2007 (UTC)


 * Hotz and Rice were born 1973. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Special:Contributions/ (talk) 20:58, 12 August 2009 (UTC)


 * The source says 1967, so in order to change it to 1973 we'd need a reliable source (more reliable than the one we have now).--Six words (talk) 21:17, 19 August 2009 (UTC)

Spencer Rice was born in 1973 : http://www.movietome.com/people/219300/spencer-rice/index.html?q=Spencer+Rice In the show it is mentioned several times that Hotz and Rice both went to high school together. That would have not been possible if Kenny Hotz is six years older than Rice. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.194.96.71 (talk) 21:36, 7 December 2009 (UTC)

Copyvio
Much of this article is currently a substantial copyvio of his Comedy Central biography. Chubbles (talk) 20:01, 6 March 2008 (UTC)
 * As such, I reverted back to August 1, 2006, which is the last good version before the copyvio. Chubbles (talk) 20:05, 6 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Is User:Kennyhotz Hotz himself? My edit was reverted by this user. Chubbles (talk) 19:47, 10 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Yes, it is dearly (talk) 00:50, 30 March 2008 (UTC)

It is doubtful either Kenny or Spenny were born in 1973, despite their various bio pages around the Internet. Kenny was a writer for TMNT in 1987, which would have made him 14 at the time. Highly suspect. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 198.103.211.131 (talk) 16:15, 22 November 2010 (UTC)

Atheism
source for kenny's atheism: http://network.nationalpost.com/np/blogs/toronto/archive/2008/07/28/jesus-sucks-tv-duo-s-banner-tells-toronto.aspx

i added him to the "canadian atheists" category. (18 august, 2008) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 124.169.162.5 (talk) 09:38, 18 August 2008 (UTC)

Updated Information for 2008?
This page is a little out of date. It mentions the 3rd season of Kenny vs. Spenny when they are now on the 4th season. There are a few more problems with the article due time issues. Can someone fix it up? I would but I'm not as familiar with his work as other people might be. 76.116.109.221 (talk) 11:51, 25 April 2008 (UTC)

Recently a guest on Conan?
Wasn't really that recent anymore. If I recall it right, this occured several years ago. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.217.169.112 (talk) 07:17, 2 October 2008 (UTC)

Date of Birth (3)
so what he was 17 when he was a photographer in the gulf war? doubtful. dude the guy is born in 67' he just doesnt wanna admit it hehe.


 * I don't even understand why we need to have his Date of Birth on Wikipedia anyway. Every one or two weeks there's someone who changes it because somewhere else (myspace, youtube, ...), in his "official profile", it says he's so-and-so old. But since those sources don't say the same, I'd guess Kenny doesn't really want people to know his Birthday, so why not delete it? If he wants it to be here, he can add it himself.--Six words (talk) 14:39, 5 November 2008 (UTC)

It is 1967, want to see a copy of his drivers licence? 70.54.109.40 (talk) 21:24, 6 January 2009 (UTC)


 * Yes please, just for "verification"... —Preceding unsigned comment added by 203.94.54.14 (talk) 03:30, 17 February 2009 (UTC)

Kenny and Spenny went to the same High School together, and were childhood friends. That means that they have to be the same age, or at the very furthest they are 4 years apart. So either they both are 35 or they both are 41.

Yiddish
As a German I was surprised to hear Kenny Hotz regularly speak German on the show, but since he is jewish I figured that he might speak Yiddish. His mother also uses a lot of German/Yiddish terms. Does anybody know something about that ? Might be an interesting fact to add. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.194.95.165 (talk) 18:41, 6 December 2009 (UTC)

Kenneth Joel Hotz The Life Story
it all started on a distant planet in the milfy way where a small galixy called milfonia was in apoctalyptic nukelear war. a despret fathe in a rush to save his first born son drop kicked him out of the galixy to save him from an oncoming nuke that would whipe out all life in the galixy. the young boy was drop kicked to planet earth. upon arrival he was eaten by a mountan goat whoo was eaten by a eliphant who was eaten by a manatee who was eaten by a shark who was eaten by a eagle who later shit kenny out. once kenny had learnt what had happend to him from a magical wizard dung beetle he embarked on a journey to save princess peach from bowser. once he reached bowsers castle he knocked on the door and waas greeted by bowser. the fought a epic battle and kenny won. he had saved the princess. so the princess and kenny fucked only to find that peach had a toothed vagin kennys only weakness. princess peach ate kenny and the world found out where marios dick wentthe end

Major problems with this article
This guy had a moderately successful cable show in Canada called 'Kenny Vs Spenny'. This article makes it seem like he's the Emperor of Canada. As you can see from the top of the page, Kenny Hotz was caught editing his own article before. I wouldn't be surprised if he decided to start it up again via a different account.

Kenny, if you're reading this (and I know you are), please provide verifiable sources to all of your amazing claims, such as:

He also has the largest online fan base for a Canadian TV celebrity. He is the only Canadian entertainer who has the achievement of creating two television series that have premiered on separate American networks at the same time (FX andComedy Central). Kenny was sent to a film camp where he made his first animated short film, the film was screened for Henry Winkler on his visit to the city in 1974. At the age of 21, Hotz was the only registered Canadian freelance artist to document the Gulf War in 1991 Hotz is the only Canadian who wrote on the animated series South Park, also writing the episodes "Follow That Egg!" and "Two Days Before the Day After Tomorrow".

Along with many, many others. If you're going to make yourself out to be the 'only' person doing incredible feats, it shouldn't be difficult to provide published evidence of this. I've placed 'citation needed' tags beside everything that needs to be proven, if it is not, it will be deleted. This isn't a place to write your autobiography.

I also edited the 'only Canadian writer on South Park' line, considering Kyle McCullough is from Winnipeg and has been working on the show since 1999. http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0567143/ Also, Trey Parker writes every single episode, Hotz was a consultant.

There were dead links to references that were also removed, and a reference to his work on TMNT and South Park was added. I've gotten rid of dead and superfluous links in the External Links section, as well as the link to his merchandise page. Also, don't link to every single interview you've ever done in your 'External Links' section. That's what the reference section is for. Dannymartin128 (talk) 02:12, 18 July 2012 (UTC)

Editing Done
Since the page was reverted by an "anonymous" user, I took the liberty of deleted all claims without citations. I did some major reorganization, as well as finding citations for facts that I knew were true.

If you wish to add more info about your life or career Kenny, please find sources for your claims.Dannymartin128 (talk)

Reverted changes
I've reverted the page back to my last edit, since the page had been reverted back to its unacceptable state. If you would like to make the page better, please provide citations and links to your claims. Dannymartin128 (talk)

Birth Date
I don't know where this 1973 year keeps coming from, but he was born in 1967 according to the imdb. How would he work on Ninja Turtles when he was 14? Dannymartin128 (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 16:12, 23 August 2012 (UTC)


 * It's a mistake in the IMDB whereas he worked in TMNT in 1997 but the site only allows you to site to the 1987 series. Either way, it's not up on the site now.Jeremy112233 (talk) 04:23, 24 October 2012 (UTC)

Page revision--no real sources being used here
I have a page revision sitting in one of my (many) sandboxes that I plan to post here. No content has been changed from the current page, however I have added a lot from additional citations and looked to cite some previously removed content though I'm placing it at better spots in the article. I wanted to let the community here know that I'm planning on adding it soon in pieces, and appreciate all comments on the new material. I'll also be filling out the current citations with all the necessary information.Jeremy112233 (talk) 04:26, 24 October 2012 (UTC)
 * I've completed my revision. The previous content is all still here; tried to only add constructively and to add the other references. Feel free to help with any additional sources you may find! Jeremy112233 (talk) 18:00, 25 October 2012 (UTC)
