Jessie Spano

But yeah, today was not only the day of the Mets won the World Series, the day that we learned not to take caffeine pills.

Thank you, Jessie Spano.

Hot Carl was my third guess.

She

You know? Like, this is, um...

If I learn, [laughs] if I learned anything from Saved by the Bell, like, I feel, you know, Elizabeth is kinda like the Jessie Spano character, right? Like, and, and, and then you got-

Yeah

...

A.C. Slater.

You know, it, it took them a l- y- it's, a long time to get on the same page.

And so I couldn't see, like, someone like an A.C. Slater/Zack Morris, you know, um, flip Jessie Spano in 24 hours and have her come to a luau.

You know? But hats off to Sam.

If you notice.

And she on- she does not appear in episodes that have Kelly Kapowski or Jessie Spano.

And the reason is that, is that for the final season, after they had re- they had, um, recorded or filmed the episode where they graduated, NBC ordered 11 more episodes.

And Kelly-

Wow

...

the actress for Kelly Kapowski and Jessie Spano had gone off to do other things.

They-

You know,

every once in a while, Jessie Spano is addicted to diet pills, and she's freaking out, and we got to talk through it in the moment.

You know, you don't get to choose when Spano's going to melt down about not being able to get into Stanford.

I mean, 2 o'clock start, game gets over about 5-ish.

I, I like that, uh, Paul Verhoeven decided to needle everyone by casting the girl from, uh, whatchamacallit, from S- Saved by the Bell in, uh-

So, uh, Jessie, Jessica Spano

...

Ghost in the Shell.

Yeah.

What about Jessie Spano?

What-

Know Me.

But you related to a laugh track? [laughs]

I related to Jessie Spano fucking str- s- stressing out, trying to, on her caffeine pills, trying to get shit done.

I related to that.

But, m- b- I, I guess so.

it was a Saturday morning show that played.

Yeah.

Um, uh, you know, uh, there are certain songs that, uh, "How am I supposed to live without..." I just, oh, God, I'll just start thinking about Zack and Kelly breaking up at that dance, and Jessie Spano and, and S- Slater are singing.

And I, I remember g- crying then.

We were off, so we haven't had a chance to probable, uh, properly eulogize and memorialize Mr. Belding, who was- That's great ... who had such a great relationship, that he had a mentorship of Zack Morris and A.C. Slater and Screech, but also a- What about the girls? ...

well, non-creepy relationship- It wasn't creepy ... with Kelly Kapowski, Jessie Spano, and Lisa Turtle.

So I always thought that was walking a fine line, but he did it beautifully.

I'll also add this.
