Not Saved by the Bell

It seems curious that two ex-Saved by the Bell stars are back on television…hosting reality dance shows. Mario Lopez (sans greasy curls) can be found on MTV’s America’s Best Dance Crew and Elizabeth Berkeley (still a Showgirl) is hosting Step It Up and Dance on Bravo. Why them? Why now? And what is everyone else up to these days?

Mark-Paul Gosselaar (Zach): Since NYPD Blue ended, Mark-Paul has been doing a few TV things here and there, and living life with his wife and children. Cute.

Dustin Diamond (Screech): Well, you may have experienced his homelessness and his Celebrity Fit Club flip-out, but otherwise, that’s pretty much it. He’s the only cast member who stays in touch with Dennis Haskins. I sense there being a reason for that.

Lark Voorhies (Lisa): Did you know she’s the niece of Jermaine Jackson? IMDB would suggest that we might be seeing more of Lark in 2008, but who knows if what she’s doing will ever been seen by human eyes.

Tiffany Thiessen (Kelly): She’s been doing a lot of TV lately, including a role on What About Brian? Tiffany is probably the most successful of the SBTB alum, along with Mark-Paul.

Dennis Haskins (Mr. Belding): He’s actually running the college circuit. I kid you not. I think we’re reaching the cusp of college students even knowing what Saved By The Bell is.

So will these dance shows be the boost our actors need to rise out of obscurity? All I know, is that if Lark Voorhies ends up hosting Dancing with the Stars, I quit.
