You know Jimmy Fallon is doing some awesome things when he makes it onto this here sports blog two days in a row. And awesome things is he a-doing!
Fallon got the cast from “Saved by the Bell” to reunite for an 8-minute scene on his “Tonight Show” Wednesday. Fallon’s been working for over a year on getting the cast together, and he finally pulled it off. It was perfect.
They incorporated all of the trademarks and viral moments from the show into the skit: they got Zack Morris’ phone; his “time out”; Jessie Spano’s I’m so excited spaz out; A.C. Slater’s ballerina dance; Mr. Belding on the intercom and his ‘hey, hey, hey, what is going on here.’ It really couldn’t have gone any better.
The two notable absences were Lisa Turtle and Screech, but given Screech’s recent history, it’s just as well that he wasn’t around.
Thank you, Fallon, that was awesome! And someone please help Belding — was that Dennis Haskins or the ghost of John Candy? I’m not sure.
