AceShowbiz - Jimmy Fallon reunited the cast of "Saved the by the Bell" for a "Tonight Show" sketch that paid tribute to the 90s TV show. In the 8-minute clip, Fallon played a younger version of himself and enrolled at Bayside High School.
He was joined by Mark-Paul Gosselaar, Tiffani-Amber Thiessen, Mario Lopez, Elizabeth Berkley and Dennis Haskins who reprised their characters Zack Morris, Kelly Kapowski, A.C. Slater, Jessie Spano and Mr. Belding respectively. They even recreated some memorable moments from the sitcom, including Jesse's "I'm so excited!" scene and Slater's ballet moves.
They also poked fun at their real-life future in Hollywood, with Fallon dreaming of becoming a comedian and appearing on "Saturday Night Live", and hoping to date Nicole Kidman. Zack responded with a laugh, "Jimmy going on a date with Nicole Kidman is like Jessie becoming a stripper," referring to Berkley's role as an exotic dancer in 1995's film "Showgirls".
Noticeably missing from the skit were Lisa Turtle (Lark Voorhies) and Screech (Dustin Diamond).
"The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon" is airing from Los Angeles for a week from Monday, February 2.
