There’s a commercial for Trivial Pursuit 90’s Edition where a kid uncovers a time capsule that has “1990 - 1999” etched on the lid. Then the crank on the lid turns, and out comes Dennis Rodman, Kato Kaelin, Lugash or whatever his name is carrying Kerry Strug in his arms, etc. The guy that climbed out right after Kato Kaelin - who was that? He was a white guy with black hair and a goatee, wearing a white shirt. I didn’t recognize him. ---

If you mean who I think, that was [Dustin Diamond](http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0224616/), aka “Screech” from [_Saved By the Bell_](http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0096694/). ---

I don’t think that’s the one I’m talking about - I would recognize him unless he cut and de-permed his hair, although I don’t remember seeing him there. ---

It IS screech. Dustin Diamond has sort of made himself over into a normal human being. I mean, that geeky show WAS eight years ago. He grew up. ---

OK then. I thought I saw him recently and he still had his big 'fro. Carry on.
