The cast of “Jersey Shore,” “The Situation,” Ronnie, Sammi, DJ Pauly D, “Snooki,” Vinny, “J-Woww,” and Angelina ring The Opening Bell at the NYSE.

Quite a scene on the business channels this morning as the cast of MTV’s “Jersey Shore” rang the opening bell. CNBC’s Erin Burnett mentioned that the NYSE had run out of guest passes for access to the floor — nieces and daughters of some of Jersey’s finest traders, no doubt. Burnett’s co-anchor Mark Haines mentioned the cast was not allowed to talk to anyone on the floor. And Fox Business Network anchor Stuart Varney was proud not to know the cast members by name. “Which one is Snooki?”

The second season of the hit MTV show begins Thursday night.
