- Canadian site “The Gate” runs an addition piece on the Degrassi announcement with what looks to be an official confirmation that Jason Mewes WILL appear
on the program. We’ve all pretty much assumed his involvement since it just wouldn’t make sense with Bob only, given the plot. But it’s nice to hear that
Mewes will definitely be a part of the program:
Two days ago we reported to you that Kevin Smith will be appearing as a guest on this season’s final three episodes of Degrassi: The Next Generation, but today we’ve got a few more details to help flesh out the plan, and we can tell you now that it includes Jason Mewes.
According to some notes I received from CTV (the Canadian broadcaster who airs Degrassi in Canada) Smith and Mewes will guest-star as themselves and also as their famous alter-egos… Jay (Mewes) & Silent Bob (Smith). The three-episode story arc which is set to air in January will see the duo filming a fictional sequel to Jay And Silent Bob Strike Back where their characters have to find a school to get their high-school diplomas (you guessed it, none of the schools in the U.S. would take them), and Smith ends up picking Degrassi as the best place to shoot.
You can read the full story at their site (the rest mostly goes on to rehash stuff we’ve reported
previously).
