OMG, just like when we were kids!

So Mark-Paul Gosselaar went on Jimmy Fallon last night in character as Zack Morris. The webs are all aflutter about this today , so here's the video:



I have to admit it was funny, though in a certain sense it reminds me of that same annoying conversation every group of college freshmen has once a month as they bond over fruity vodka and pass the time until giving each other herpes:

Annoying Freshman #1: "OMG, I love the tv we had when we were kids. Zack Morris was so hot!"
Annoying Freshman #2: "ZOMG totally. yadda yadda Legends of the Hidden Temple, blah blah Wild and Crazy Kids!"
Annoying Freshman #1: "Totally. Totally."

At least Gosselaar wasn't afraid to poke fun at his own campy roots. And kudos to Fallon, who despite no actual comedic talent of his own has managed to hire writers who have come up with some cool bits for his show. I hate to admit it, but he hasn't been a total trainwreck thus far. I won't call him a worthy successor to Conan, but he's at least better than that hack Leno, who is preparing his attempted murder of network television. Fuck you, Leno.
