2/27/2005 - Smith Talks Degrassi at Wizard World LA

 

Last week Kevin Smith held a Q&A session at Wizard World LA; for those of you who aren't comic book nerds Wizard World is a comic book expo held once a year in LA and than Chicago. In the Q&A that can be read about in full here, Smith talked about many things including his appearance on Degrassi. Below is an excerpt from an article on the appearance:

"The next to last question brought Smith back to talk about "Degrassi." He always loved the show. The chance to be on the show was very tempting, but he couldn't direct the show because he isn't Canadian. He did write a three-episode story arc featuring himself as if he were single and childless. The basic idea has Smith filming "Jay and Silent Bob Go Canadian, Eh?" at the high school. Which provides a rationale for his presence there and involved with the kids' storylines, in a kind of creepy way. Jay will spend most of his time chasing after the teen girls."
