PR.com (Allison Kugel): How did the Jersey Shore cast get their nicknames? Did the producers give you your names, or was JWoWW your nickname to begin with?

Jenni JWoWW Farley: They were all ours to begin with. I got mine from an emcee in The Hamptons. It was a beach club that we used to go to called Neptune. When I started working there I got the name.

PR.com: Was it because of the boobs or your personality?

Jenni JWoWW Farley: I think it was both. Every time I walked by him when he was on the mic he would yell, “Wow!” Six months later I started working with him and we just kind of made up the name as a joke because of that, like, Jenni WoWW. Then it got shortened to JWoWW.

PR.com: How did Jersey Shore come about for you? How did you hear about the casting call?

Jenni JWoWW Farley: They cast at a nightclub I worked at for [the show] Paris Hilton’s My New BFF. My gay best friend wanted to be on that show really bad, so I signed up with him and I guess it was the same casting company. Less than a month later they asked me if I would be interested in a Guido show.

PR.com: Do you come from Long Island or upstate New York?

Jenni JWoWW Farley: I was born in upstate New York and I live on Long Island.
