'Kroll Show' Goes There With 'Degrassi' Parody

by Maitri Suhas

I don't know what it is, man, but Degrassi has been on everyone's minds lately. Probably because our friend Drake, aka Audrey Graham, aka Jimmy Brooks (remember when called his girlfriend Ashley a slut?) has been blowin' up. He mentioned his roots on the Canadian teen drama last Saturday night when Drake hosted SNL . I guess when he says he started from the bottom, Degrassi: The Next Generation is the bottom. In a loving way! And tonight, Nick Kroll, who you may know from his new project, Kroll Show, or perhaps as the jerk on Parks and Recreation (he was once a contender to donate sperm to Anne Perkins), is doing a parody of Degrassi on Kroll Show called "Wheels Ontario.

AND guess how much he's going there? He got THE infamous bitch of the real Degrassi: The Next Generation, Paige Michalchuk (Lauren Collins), to guest star. She's the one who wore those fabulous purple-tinted glasses and gave us all our new year's resolutions for all time: "New Year, new look, new Paige."

But seriously, what's with all the Degrassi buzz lately? Does this mean a Degrassi NEXT Next Generation revival TV show?
