: Had Kevin ever produced and made the movie, NAME. Jay's last name would have been Derris. As he didn't and went a different way it wasn't/isn't.
: Therefore, taking into consideration most of Mewes' autographs were signed Jay "Phat Buds" Mewes. It is entirely possible that someone who contributed to the imdb took this to be the CHARACTER'S last name.
: It is also entirely possible that the AP wire reporter that this story came from referred to the imdb.com for the character's name when writing the story.
: Hence
: Jay, the character you know and love became Jay Phat Buds....
: Just as if Silent Bob had a last name, I believe Kevin once stated, it would be Blutarsky.
: So there you have it. Jay Phat Buds and Silent Bob Blutarsky.

No, believe it or not, AP reporters actually called up the Monmouth County officials on the telephone. They don't get their information off some website.
