We knew Raising the Bar's Mark-Paul Gosselaar was a good sport when he came into EW for a meet-and-greet last year, faced a room full of entertainment junkies reenacting scenes from Saved by the Bell (okay, that was just Tim Stack), and fed Annie Barrett cupcakes. But doing an entire interview on last night's Late Night with Jimmy Fallon as a grown-up Zack Morris gives new meaning to the term. (Maybe he was game because he got to perform Zack Attack's "Friends Forever" with the Roots? UPDATE: That was one of Gosselaar's conditions. He talks all about the appearance here.) The big news — other than that Zack never upgraded his cell phone and Fallon does an excellent "time out" — is that Gosselaar committed to Fallon's Saved by the Bell reunion and announced that Elizabeth Berkley is also in. That just leaves Tiffani Thiessen and Dustin Diamond, who's supposed to be penning a tell-all about the show. (Mario Lopez, Lark Voorhies, and Dennis Haskins had already RSVP'd yes.) Are we excited about this idea now?

Good God, that was amazing. A lot of actors could have (and have been) complete dicks about the show that made them famous. Glad to see he embraces it.
The hair, the phone, the life-size Kelly Kapowski!
My week has been made.
“I got to judge the Miss Liberty Pageant!”
I don’t think I’ve ever been more excited in my adult life. Even if Dustin Diamond won’t commit (you won’t be missed, crazypants), I’ll still be giddy.
I’ve never been so happy in my life. The 90′s are back baby!!! Where the hell is my scrunchie???
He is still soooooooo cute! I think he’s awesome for doing this.
Dustin Diamond needs money badly, he’ll be in if they ask him. He lives in my area (Wisconsin) and there are random stories about him here and there about his money troubles and his house in foreclosure and whatnot. He’ll be there.
Its so eeeeeasssssyyyyy
That made me feel 12 years old again. Funny and trippy at the same time…
That was really funny last night. It was the random night that I stayed up to watch Jimmy Fallon and Zach Morris was on. YAY!!! And he sang Friends Forever!!! It was worth staying up till past 2 in the morning
YES WE ARE…. nome get Screech and Kely in there… or I could do with out Kelly to be true…
AMAZING!!! This made my week!!!
AMAZING!! This made my week!!
What about Tori??
HEY, WHAT ABOUT LISA TURTLE. BLACK POWER!!
Loved the “moved from Indiana with my two friends and the principal”
That was great its nice to see an actor not shy away from the character that made him famous now if only more actors could take the stick out of their a$$es and just have fun with it.
