Fun fact
Kenny vs. Spenny started as a scrappy Canadian public-access-adjacent show before Comedy Central picked it up for U.S. audiences.
The verdict
Born and raised in Toronto, and one half of the deeply strange, deeply Canadian reality-competition show Kenny vs. Spenny, which found an actual American cult audience on Comedy Central. Born, raised, five points.
