ANOTHER streaming service is on the way. Yesterday, NBCUniversal announced theirs will be called ‘Peacock,’ and it’ll launch in April. And they already have a high-profile show: A “Saved By the Bell” revival. NBC is officially working with MARIO LOPEZ and ELIZABETH BERKLEY on the new show . . . and other cast members are in talks to return, including MARK-PAUL GOSSELAAR. Here’s the premise: Zack Morris is the Governor of California. He gets into hot water for closing too many low-income schools, and so he suggests that the affected students be sent to the highest-performing schools in the state . . . including his alma mater, Bayside High. The “influx of new students gives the over-privileged Bayside kids a much-needed and hilarious dose of reality.” Mario and Elizabeth are back as A.C. Slater and Jessie Spano . . . although now, they’re parents of kids at the school. It’s unclear if Tiffani-Amber Thiessen (Kelly), Dustin Diamond (Screech), Lark Voorhies (Lisa), and Dennis Haskins (Mr. Belding) have been approached.
ALEX TREBEK’s numbers went up, so his doctors put him back on chemo. One thing he’s not worried about is death – “I’ve had one hell of a good life. And I’ve enjoyed it. The thought of passing on doesn’t frighten me . . . hey folks, it comes with the territory.”
