Who Will Be the Last "Saved by the Bell" Star to Commit to Fallon?

Last night, Mark Paul Gosselaar -- in character as Zack Morris -- committed to the Saved by the Bell reunion that Jimmy Fallon is attempting to orchestrate on Late Night. (If you haven't seen the clip yet, immediately watch). So far, that gives us Jessie Spano (Elizabeth Berkeley), A.C. Slater (Mario Lopez), Mr. Belding (Dennis Haskins), Lisa Turtle (Lark Voorhies), and now Zack (Gosselaar). But what about the most and least attractive characters, respectively, on the show -- Kelly Kapowski (Tiffani-Amber Thiessen) and Screech (Dustin Diamond)? They've yet to sign on -- who will hold out the longest? Early advantage goes to Dustin Diamond, who's supposedly publishing Behind the Bell, the tell-all memoir about the show. What do you think?

And if you really want to feel old today, consider this: it's been 15 years since our Bayside buddies wrapped production on Saved by the Bell: The College Years. Sigh.
