People Magazine reunited the cast of Saved By The Bell for a special 20th anniversary reunion photo. The Saved by the Bell reunion was initially spearheaded by Jimmy Fallon who used his late night talk show to update SBTB fans on the cast members. The reunion photo happened with everyone looking great. Mario Lopez, Mark Paul Gosselaar, Elizabeth Berkley, Tiffani Amber Thiessen and Lisa Turtle aka Lark Voorhies look the same as they did when everyone was a teenager. Porn loving Screech was noticeably absent from the reunion photo shoot because he is working on a Saved By the Bell tell all.

Jimmy Fallon Reunites Saved By The Bell Cast

The “Saved by the Bell” gang’s all here – but wait a minute, where’s Screech?

Bayside High’s lovable geek, played by Dustin Diamond, was notably absent from the cast’s photo reunion on the cover of People magazine, released earlier this week.

Was it because of his upcoming tell-all book? His gross-out sex tape scandal? His “Celebrity Fit Club” meltdowns and financial troubles?

Yes, yes, yes and yes, according to RadarOnline, which reports that Diamond was purposely excluded by his former castmates.

“Cast members were not comfortable with including him,” a spokesperson for People told the Web site.

Diamond’s much-anticipated “Bell” memoir is the reason his old pals’ defenses are up, the rep says. As Radar notes, Mark-Paul Gosselaar openly slammed the tome in a recent issue of Newsweek.

“What is he going to say?” Gosselaar asked sarcastically. “We were (bleeping) groupies at 14? I can’t wait to read his book, because I don’t have a memory of a lot of the shows. Maybe it was because I was doing lines off of the audience members’ a—-. I’m sure he’s going to write something crazy like that. So he’s writing a book, I’m not really afraid of what he has to say. There are not too many skeletons in my closet.”

And how did Diamond feel about the blatant snub? Apparently the same way Screech felt after being repeatedly dissed by Lisa Turtle.

“Of course he cared he wasn’t invited,” a source close to Diamond told Radar.  “Wouldn’t you?” [source]
