Mario Lopez: Saved by the Bell Reunion Came Down to Wire - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Brian Damage · 07-30-2009, 10:48 PM

It's a reunion 20 years in the making ... and a story that took over a year in planning.

When the cast of Saved by the Bell assembled for this week's PEOPLE photo shoot and cover story, everyone breathed a sigh of relief-including Mario Lopez, who nearly missed the whole thing.

"Everybody knew the 20-year anniversary was coming up," says Lopez. "This PEOPLE story has been in the works for over a year, long before [late night host] Jimmy Fallon started talking about it. We were all excited about it."

But Lopez's work ethic almost prevented the reunion from coming to fruition. "I'm so busy. I was concerned about my schedule," says Lopez, who in the past year alone has danced on Broadway in A Chorus Line, become the new host of TV's Extra and written a fitness book, Mario Lopez's Knockout Fitness. The night before the PEOPLE shoot in Los Angeles he was making a public appearance in Canada, across the country, and arrived on set straight from the airport after a seven-hour flight.

I missed seeing Mr. Belding in the photo. I'm happy Mario did it. You go Mario!

I'm glad Mario, Mark, Tiffani, Lark and Elisabeth agree to do the photoshoot. I'm ok with Dustin not doing it because he is a jerk.
