After being banned by his fellow cast members from a photo shoot reunion, a story broken exclusively by RadarOnline.com -- Dustin Diamond, who played the lovable dork Screech on Saved by the Bell made a comeback – of sorts – at a pizza joint!
He sold out the 50-seat All Stars Comedy Club at Listrani’s Italian Restaurant in Arlington, VA August 1 and 2, and the crowd “loved” him, manager Kevin Lee told RadarOnline.com.
