Dustin Diamond, “Screech” from Saved by the Bell, was the main guest for a Post online discussion today. (The Nationals new eagle mascot also happens to be named “Screech.”

This exchange provides a glimpse of the meaty issues discussed:

Chaem, Mich.: Dustin, I have a very serious question that has been bugging me for a while. On the episode where Zack and Slater fight and Slater throws Zack into the lockers and then to the ground, why does it look so realistic? I know they weren’t REALLY fighting, but the director just say “go fight”?

Dustin Diamond: When you mix adolescent youth - steroids - and unrequited love, you have a recipe for comedy.
