Saved by the Bell revival pays tribute to Dustin Diamond and Screech in the Season 2 premiere
-
The Season 2 opener featured Elizabeth Berkley Lauren's Jessie Spano, Mario Lopez's A.C. Slater, Mark-Paul Gosselaar's Zack Morris, Tiffani Thiessen's Kelly Kapowski and Lark Voorhies' Lisa Turtle gathered around their usual booth at The Max, where they recalled their favorite Screech memories. Diamond died in February of lung cancer at age 44. “He was so funny,” Jessie says before Zack leads a group toast by adding, “To Screech.” The episode then played a montage of Screech's most memorable moments. ALSO: Season 2 found a surprisingly organic way to reference Elizabeth Berkley Lauren's Showgirls past.
