Who did Mark Paul Gosselaar show up as when he appeared on the Jimmy Fallon show?
Former Saved by the Bell star Mark-Paul Gosselaar teased that “we’re gonna have some fun” when I asked about his upcoming appearance on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon. Last night, Gosselaar surprised viewers by going on the show in character as Zack Morris, complete with stonewashed jeans, blond hair and an enormous cell phone. (I hope he got to take it home!) Highlights included Morris’ trademark “time outs” during the interview as well as a performance of Friends Forever, a song by Saved by the Bell band Zack Attack. Gosselaar also confirmed that cast member Elizabeth Berkley is on board for a full cast reunion, leaving Tiffani Thiessen and Dustin Diamond as the two remaining holdouts.

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.) Sources:
