Things really came full circle for Bethenny Frankel!

The Skinnygirl entrepreneur and talk show host recently shared on Facebook a hilarious, early '90s photo of herself from the Saved By the Bell set. "Can you tell what show I was a P.A. on back in the day?" she wrote, linking to the picture of her smiling alongside Screech (err, Dustin Diamond) in the dated shot.

And on Tuesday's episode of Bethenny's eponymous talk show, the tables were turned when she got to have Mario Lopez (aka AC Slater) as her guest!

"When I first moved to L.A., all I wanted to do is be an actress," she said. "I wanted to be one of those actors or celebrities. They looked like they were having so much fun…And now, my first guest today is one of the people that was on that show, which is so mind-blowing that now he's my guest. So, bring out Mario Lopez!"

And Mario totally remembers Bethenny from back in the day!

"It's funny because you show that picture from Saved By the Bell and I'm like, 'I totally remember that!'" he said, turning to the audience. "Bethenny was so sweet and so cool with everybody, but I had a little crush on her!"

"I didn't know," she said.

"But you were so cool," Mario said. "I'm so happy for you, and now being on your show."

Skinnygirl Margarita cheers to that!
