Oh Screech.
Dustin Diamond, who played Screech on the 1990s TV show Saved by the Bell, was convicted by a jury of carrying a concealed weapon and disorderly conduct in connection with a stabbing incident on Christmas night at a bar in Port Washington, USA, where he lives.
The first charge carries a maximum sentence of nine months in prison, the second charge a maximum of 90 days.
Screech/Diamond allegedly got into a fight with a patron at a bar and stabbed at him. Diamond initially told police he was wielding a pen but later admitted it was a flick knife.
Casey Smet, the man who Diamond allegedly stabbed, testified Thursday that he didn’t know he’d been injured until he left the bar.
While Diamond is fondly remembered for his role as lovable doofus, Screech, on Saved By the Bell, he has since become infamous for his 2006 self-released sex tape, and his scathing autobiography on his time on the show, Behind the Bell.
It goes a little further to explaining why Screech didn’t appear in Jimmy Fallon’s perfect Saved by the Bell reunion sketch a few weeks ago…

Jimmy Fallon just made all 90s kids’ dreams come true by reuniting the cast of Saved by the Bell for a skit on the Tonight Show.
And it’s eight minutes of heaven.
Here they are, THE 1990s PERSONIFIED:
Aaaand here they are, in 2015, looking… well, not that different actually. Watch it and then let’s debrief.
Obviously you recognise the original cast: A.C. Slater (Mario Lopez), Zack Morris (Mark-Paul Gosselaar), Kelly Kapowski (Tiffani-Amber Thiessen), Jessie Spano (Elizabeth Berkley) and even Mr Belding (Dennis Haskins).

Tiffani, Elizabeth and Mark-Paul all look great but Mario Lopez has an aging picture of himself in his attic, I'm sure of it.
Where was Lisa?
