Viral-content producing computer algorithm Jimmy Fallon is three-for-three this week with highly sharable must-see nostalgia-inducing content: he followed his Fresh Prince theme recreation and Neil Young duet with a Saved By The Bell reunion last night. Head back to Bayside High of the '90s with Zack Morris, Jessie Spano, AC Slater, Kelly Kapowski, Mr. Belding, and special guest star I'm So Sad I Remember All Their Names Without Having To Look Them Up. But not Screech or Lisa. We don't talk about what happened to them.
They hit some of the Bell greatest hits—pink jackets, oversized novelty cellphones, Jessie channeling her speed meltdown, Slater doing spontaneous ballet, a Zack 'Time Out', and of course, that time Mr. Belding ran over a man, drove away, and the kids made a pact never to speak of such things again.
Although the sketch is overlong (as most Fallon sketches tend to be), it's a pleasant visit with some old friends, and all four of the "kids" look remarkably well-preserved, almost as if they've been kept in a pickle jar for the last 30 years, only allowed out for the occasional TNT or reality TV show. We can't wait 'til Fallon gets around to the Everybody Loves Raymond reunion people have been hankering for—Brad Garrett is waiting by the phone as we type!
