I worked with Dustin Diamond from when he was 11 years old until 20.
Dustin and I actually became a team on "The New Class."
Dustin will always have a special place with me.

Someone asked if my laugh in the show was the same as it was in real life:
It used to be.
I would laugh in a very high-pitched laugh.
I was on LATE NIGHT WITH DAVID LETTERMAN, in 1983, and I laughed at something David said. A friend of mine who saw the show said "One day, that laugh will make you famous."
True story!
Cut to my audition for a thing called "Good Morning, Miss Bliss" and the character was called upon to laugh.
For some reason, I remembered what my friend had said about my laugh, and did it the way I would laugh, in that high-pitched tone.
The writers asked if I could do that again. And that became a trademark.
SO while the laugh was originally mine, I proudly will it to Mr. Belding.

Honestly, when we first started, we were all about just doing our very best.
We had four wrap parties - this usually means the show is over.
When Saved By The Bell was simultaneously on NBC and jumped to TBS in the afternoons, the show exploded.
We never could have imagined it would eventually go to 87 countries around the world.
I take seriously how much all of you love our show. Witnessed by the 30 million views on YouTube from our reunion on The Tonight Show.

It was a wonderful experience.
I had never heard of the show, because it had not been done yet. I was in the very first episode.
So when I read the part, of a teacher whose possibly molested Charlie, I thought it was a serious show.
I quickly found out, on-set, that this was a hilarious look at some serious subjects.
Thankfully, my character did not molest Charlie. Which is why he threw Mac out of his house.

Okay, let me address this:
Many of you wonderful young men and women grew up throughout your childhood loving our show.
When you meet me, no matter how attractive you are, you go back to being 10 or 11 years old with me. And it is my privilege to take pictures with all of you.
And that's all I do.
Get it?
