Last night The Tonight Show emanated from Los Angeles, so it was the perfect opportunity for Jimmy Fallon to have… a Saved By the Bell reunion! Wait, what?
In what was inevitably going to blow up on your newsfeeds because the internet only consists of ’90s kids who know the struggles of things like scrambled porn, Saved By the Bell superfan Jimmy Fallon reunited most of the core cast of the early ’90s TV show for a skit that referenced all of the moments that will trigger all their childhood feels. Or something.
Jimmy Fallon has been trying to get a Saved By the Bell reunion to happen since he was host of Late Night, but I guess just by being in LA it was far easier for their schedules to line up than to fly out to New York. Even so, the reunion didn’t include Lark Voorhees (“Lisa”) or TMZ favorite Dustin Diamond (“Screech”). And I’m the only person in the world who liked Tori (portrayed by Leanna Creel), who was a quickly-introduced, quickly-forgotten “new girl” of the gang towards the series’ end.
I know Hollywood stars, no matter where in their careers, try to maintain their image, but these guys must be participating in some dark magic because they look damn near immaculate. They all look like they just stepped out of the real set. Except for Dennis Haskins. He seems to be left out of the weekly rituals.
How about you, geeks? Did you watch Saved By the Bell every morning on TBS before school like I did? Wait, you mean this used to air primetime on NBC? Whoops.
