The "Saved by the Bell" cast reunites, but not for Jimmy Fallon
It turns out the Saved By The Bell cast wasn't opposed to a reunion, they just didn't want to have it on Jimmy Fallon's fledgling late night show. (Also, they didn't want to see Screech or Mr. Belding — and really, who can blame them? I didn't even want to see Screech or Mr. Belding back in 1989.) The Bayside Tigers are reunited in this week's People magazine, and you guys, Lisa Turtle got hot!
The hookups! The meltdowns! What was really going on!
Well, apparently what was really going on was that they were all dating one another at some point, which is really shocking. I mean, that kind of thing never happens on the sets of teenage television shows. Seth Cohen and Summer Roberts never dated in the real life O.C.. Serena van der Woodsen and Dan Humphrey have not been hooking up since Gossip Girl's pilot.
Seriously, though, with the exception of Dustin Diamond, the whole cast seems to have nothing but warm memories of their time at Bayside High. Mario Lopez did a little behind-the-scenes filming for Extra at the People photoshoot, which you can watch at their site.
The best thing to come out of this Saved By The Bell reunion, though, is Tiffani Thiessen's new FunnyorDie.com video in which she explains why she just couldn't make time for Jimmy Fallon.
I never realized I had so much in common with Kelly Kapowski!
The gay thing:
The Jamaican vacation thing:
The gay thing again:
The nonsensical math thing:
Seriously, again with the gay:
And, of course, the bemused IKEA furniture assembly thing:
And if that weren't enough, I'm always at the corner just in time to see the bus fly by.
Raise your hand if you would pay good money — or at least spend a night in front of the TV — to watch a Saved By The Bell reunion movie. No? Well, at least it's good to see the cast together again, right?

I always had a Kelly crush,
I always had a Kelly crush, as I am sure many other ladies here did, and would watch anything that involved a 'Saved by the Bell' theme. Especially if they kept the 90's style hair ;)
To every feminist action, there is an equal and opposite beauty reaction- Naomi Wolf

Oh my
Go Bayside!
MY Favorite show growing up! I even own a Bayside Tigers shirt now. By the by, didn't think Lark Voohees (Lisa Turtle) could get any hotter but WOW! Time has been good to that cast.
Funny!!
LOL
That video was priceless. That woman sure has a good sense of humour. As for the rest of the cast, well, everyone seems to have aged nicely :-) I wonder what everyone is up to these days.

Loved this Show
I used to watch this show and over and over on reruns. I was so happy to see Stacy, Zach's girlfriend while working at the country club during the summer, on the King of Queens. Lisa Turtle was always hot. Weren't there like 3 movies? The last being when Zach and Kelly got married and Elizabeth Berkeley bounced in (post SHOWGIRLS). I may hafta buy this issue of People
Haha
Haha,that was cute. She's still hot even after all of those years. 20 years to be exact I guess.

But you won't even try"

Seriously...
and the actress that played
Yup
I don't know if it's a sign of me getting older or the 90's becoming increasingly dreadful to look back on, fashion-wise, but the actress who played Tori has definitely improved with the years. Smokin!

Poor Jimmy Fallon has been really working hard on this lol.
OMG its Lisa Turtle....(boy band cry)

[exit stage left...definitely embarrassed]
Matt's world you just live in it!
Lisa Turtle was always
Lisa Turtle was always hot... as was Kelly. I would say Jessie got hot.
Jimmy Fallon still has a show?
Tempting.
I saw that People magazine at the store today. I have never read people in my life and I really don't care about any of those people but... it's Saved By The Bell, man! I've seen every episode. And no Dustin Diamond, thank god. They all look great still.
I can understand if they got a better offer for a reunion elsewhere than on Jimmy Fallon. But you've got to admit, that clip from Jimmy's show where "Zack" came out and did an interview? Awesome. You can watch it here: http://www.hulu.com/watch/76560/late-night-with-jimmy-fallon-saved-by-th...
Her bandmate looks familiar
