Jason Biggs discovers his first pie moment was not in American Pie, but in a TV show.
Jason Biggs’s pie deja vu
Jason Biggs thought who would know pie history better than him – but an old clip on Live! With Kelly and Mark changed everything.
It turns out, his first “pie moment” was not in American Pie, but in the soap As the World Turns, when he was Pete Wendall in 1993–94.
Biggs laughed as he watched the clip: “I don’t remember! Whatever he brought back… impressive.”
Old story brought out on live show
The talk on the show started with the usual legacy – even 26 years after American Pie, people quote the same scene.
But as the unearthed footage started, Biggs himself was surprised.
There was a small scene where the character avoids the hospital just for the sake of pie — and that was it, history got a new twist.
It was oddly satisfying to see this gap between memory and myth.
Parenting mode: When and how did you tell me?
Biggs casually admitted that now his kids — Lazlo (7) and Sid (11) — have started listening about the film.
“The time for a conversation is coming,” he said.
Earlier, people used to come in front and crack jokes but the kids didn’t understand.
Now let’s ask questions, and he was a little hesitant, thinking there was still time. Maybe not now.
New York streets and a voice
He shared an NYC incident: someone shouted from a distance, “Hey, it’s the Pie f—–!”
Biggs felt the same moment; now he will have to explain.
This funny-not-funny side of fame was clearly felt in his tone – a little cringe, a little comic, but real.
American Pie 5? “I’m in.”
While speaking to PEOPLE at City Harvest’s 2025 Gala, Biggs said if American Pie 5 happens, he’s 100% ready.
Playing Jim again would be a joyride for him.
He’s proud of the franchise — and reuniting with the cast (Eugene Levy, Jennifer Coolidge, Seann William Scott, Chris Klein, Tara Reid, Alyson Hannigan, Natasha Lyonne, Eddie Kaye Thomas) could be a full-circle moment for him.
Why was this reveal so funny
One small clip shifted a major narrative: The scene that was always considered “the first” actually turned out to be the second.
It’s a gentle reminder for Jason as well — we make up our own stories, remember to say something else.
And for the fans? New trivia, new green.
Sometimes, pie is cold on TV for the first time — but cult status bakes on the big screen.
