As Screech on Saved by the Bell, Dustin Diamond spent his formative years looking for a way to get into Lisa Turtle's pants. But instead of fading into obscurity after the series ended its 13-year run in 2000, he performed an on-camera "Dirty Sanchez" and earned himself another 15 minutes of (something less than) fame. Does Diamond deserve a second act, or is he just milking Screech for all he's worth? Check out this exclusive video, then post your comments to tell us what you think.

that story is B.S. He's just trying to get publicity. Nice try, Screech.

Hey who can knock the guy? He learned from the Paris Hilton school of self-promotion. I hope he resurrects his career. He's a smart marketer, I gotta say that. Mr. Belding would be proud.

Screech's "wife" back-pedals, questionable claims all around:

Who wants to bet Screech's movie is better than Elizabeth Berkley's Showgirls?

I'm a little disappointed he didn't parlay his fame better. If Pauly Shore can do it for a generation, surely Screech could have done better.

Nice! I've found the strawberry shortcake to be a more exciting move, but hey, each to his own.

He should really see if Red Light will hire Tiffany and Mark Paul for a three way. They could play "Friends Forever" in the background. Seriously, who wouldn't watch that?

It was a Paris-publicity stunt gone wrong.. because he's Screech.

Haven't seen the tape, but finding it hard to believe anyone would take it from Screech. I bet she beat the hell out of him afterwards. He would sell more copies of THAT video.

i love how all anyone is concerned with is whether or not he leaked the video intentionally...and not that he and his friends were that sleazy in the first place

Screech, it's time to leave the lotion and tissues behind, and fire your PR person. Or hire someone who's not you. And maybe think about taking an acting class or two. Just a suggestion.

"Instead of poker I suggested we call it pokem". Let's be honest. Screech is probably the greatest actor/comedian of our time.

so coincidentally, i saw a segment on dateline about him. it was about "e-begging" and how people are getting out of debt by begging on the internet. he sold thousands of t-shirts online so he could keep his home in wisconsin and then decided to market his sex tape. the thought of screech in any sexual capacity is disturbing.

That's the sad thing though...right? No matter what people have to say about him or this particular venture - we read the article, possibly passed it around, and become at least mildly curious about the video. Not such a bad marketing pursuit actually. I wish these things wouldn't work, but we're suckers for novelty branding.
