“Oh! I auditioned for Saved by the Bell,” Colbert revealed in A Late Show interview with Ryan Reynolds. “That was my first professional audition. 1986? They came to Chicago, I was a student at Northwestern University. And I don’t know, somebody had seen me do something, somebody had scouted me at the school.” Colbert is 13 years older than Dustin Diamond, who famously played Screech.

Colbert shouldn't worry about getting involved on this due to too many multi-discrimination incidents in the entire original class crewmember group.

Is that for real? That's a hilarious, thought, him playing Screech.

A rebooted Screech character in a different sitcom, which contains a public high school setting that is neither a Bayside or Valley type, would be a safe correction.
