Jay and Silent Bob coming to Degrassi

Jay and Silent Bob are coming to the Canadian cult TV show Degrassi: The Next Generation!
“It’s like When Worlds Collide, y’know? I’m a big fan of things like when Spider-Man and Daredevil meet. I go ape-(bleep) and bust a nut,” said director Kevin Smith (Clerks, Chasing Amy), who is finally getting his chance to take part in the cult series he idolizes by starring in a three-episode arc on Degrassi: The Next Generation.
In a hilarious and profane press conference here yesterday with past and present Degrassi cast, creator Linda Schuyler and her creative team, Smith confirmed that he and pal Jason Mewes (aka “Jay” from Clerks and Jay And Silent Bob Strike Back) will start filming their parts next week through mid-November.
The episodes, which will air early next year, have Kevin Smith playing himself directing the next Jay and Silent Bob movie, “Jay And Silent Bob Go Canadian, Eh?” In the fictional film, the slacker duo come to Toronto because they need to get a high school diploma and no school in America will take them.
