Tiffani Thiessen: Anything but Saved By the Bell

Actress comes clean about why she isn't available for a 20-year anniversary reunion of her '90s sitcom

As any viewer of Late Night knows, Jimmy Fallon has been waging a tireless campaign to get the cast of Saved By the Bell to reunite on his show to celebrate the sitcom's 20-year anniversary.

While most of those involved with the series are up for it, Tiffani Thiessen has yet to sign on, much to the dismay of SBTB fans everywhere and those who still harbor a crush for Kelly Kapowski. Thankfully, we now know why.

"As much as I would like to do it, I'm just really busy," says Tiffani, before rattling off an impressive list of what keeps her occupied…

From developing a new fuel cell for NASA, making improvements to marijuana in Costa Rica, fronting an Indigo Girls tribute band and sitting by her pool several times a week looking hot, Tiffani clearly doesn't have the time.

So cut the girl a little slack, Jimmy. You try and prepare for a grilled cheese competition at the end of the month while also producing, directing and doing all the voices for a live-action cat comedy and see if you have room in your schedule to sit around and talk about the so-called good old days.

Besides, if Screech isn't there, why bother?

Jimmy would probably have a better chance of getting Selena Gomez and Demi Lovato together for a Barney & Friends reunion in light of his recent duet with Demi.
