Tiffani Thiessen Unamused by "Saved By The Bell" Ambush Reunion (Video)

Nostalgia for the 90's is all the rage right now, but Tiffani Thiessen, one of the decade's biggest TV stars, isn't feeling the love.

The "White Collar" actress, who first captured (and broke) hearts in the hallways of "Saved By The Bell", was unpleasantly surprised by an unexpected reunion with a former co-star during a guest stint on "Today".

"We're actually reliving the '90s, so this should be right up your alley," said anchor Natalie Morales to Thiessen. The set was transformed to resemble "Saved By The Bell's" diner hangout The Max, and Thiessen was challenged to a trivia game about the decade's TV shows alongside Morales and against Willie Geist.



Just as Al Roker was about to ask the first trivia question, a familiar voice shouted, "Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey! What's going on here?" In walked Dennis Haskins, who played Bayside High School's principal, Mr. Belding.

"Can I just say hi real quick?" said Haskins as he approached Thiessen, who could hardly manage a stale smile. Trying to fill the awkward silence, Morales announced that "Tiffany's in shock!"



Haskins then stepped in as the game show host and asked trivia questions about "The Golden Girls", "My So-Called Life", "Melrose Place" and "90210".

He couldn't resist echoing his popular line, "My office, now!" when someone broke the game show rules.

Considering that Tiffani Thiessen has spent her entire adult career trying to distance herself from her teen star past I'm not surprised!

I'm sure the "Today" show meant this as a fun surprise reunion, not as an ambush. Considering "Saved By the Bell" is the show that propelled Tiffani Thiessen's career to where it is now, I would hope she would enjoy something like this. Still, I know it's hard to balance that nostalgia and fame deal, as on the one hand it's fun to reminisce and look back, she understandably doesn't want people to just lock her down to Kelly Kapowski, but remember that she has done other roles and is capable of doing more than just Kelly.

They were WRONG to do this to her. Take ONE LOOK at Belding and anyone can see that you CANNOT go home again. The past is the past is the past is the past.

I can understand why people want to move forward at some point, but it they don't want to be known for the character that they play on a certain show, they should play another character or not have anything to do with the show to begin with.

God bless you always!!! :) :) :)
