Saved By The Bell was my favorite show growing up. I saw the entire collection and its reruns, including Saved By The Bell: The New Class and Saved By the Bell: The Collage Years, which is not funny whatsoever. I recently found out that Dustin Diamond, who played Screech on the show, wrote a tell all book about his career during that time. The writing of the book was so controversial that the entire cast asked for him to be removed from the pending reunion, and so he was. So, I ordered the book from chapters and made notes when it came to the juicy stuff. Here is what I found out….
He refers to his dick as ‘a monster’ and that everyone knew this, including Mark-Paul Gosselar and Mario Lopez. The tree of them all took polaroids of their private parts and shoved the photos under Tiffani Amber Thiessen’s dressing room door. Unfortunately none of the girls on the showwanted to date Diamond.
Dustin tells us that during the anti-substance abuse episode in which a movie star named Johnny Dakota shows up and attempted to gets the gang to smoke pot but they stand up to him, Thiessen was simultaneously hooking up with Mario Lopez (Slater) and Mark-Paul Gosselaar (Zack). Thiessen’s real life boyfriend Eddie Garcia (who played Johnny Dakota) was hanging around on set.
Ed Alonzo, who played the owner of The Max, may have been the longtime boyfriend of Neil Patrick Harris before Harris came out.
Mario Lopez raped a girl, and NBC paid her hush money. Definitely the most damning accusation in the book… but one that Diamond doesn’t hedge (like many of the upcoming points). He flat-out says that Mario Lopez “lured [a girl] back to his pad… and was forced to have sex against her will.” Anyway, Diamond states that Mario Lopez used to hit on every co star, every extra, every production assistant and every fan he ever found in his vicinity, and he would hook up with most of them due to his celebrity status and great mullet.
Diamond doesn’t go into too much detail about his other 1,999 partners, but one of the NBC executives who oversaw “SBTB” gets almost an entire chapter. Yes, he did say in his book that he had 2000 of them.
