Gosselaar hasn't watched Saved by the Bell since the show ended in 1993. So he is teaming on a Zack to the Future podcast with Dashiell Driscoll, creator, writer and narrator of the Funny Or Die series Zack Morris is Trash, which set out to prove that Gosselaar's character was actually a completely horrible human being. Driscoll's web series' popularity led him to being hired as a writer on Peacock's Saved by the Bell reboot. Gosselaar and Driscoll will kick off their podcast by breaking down each Season 1 episode of Saved by the Bell. “For years I have been asked by the dedicated fans of Saved by the Bell to revisit the show," Gosselaar said in a statement. "I couldn’t wrap my head around an idea that would keep the audience entertained and celebrate the beloved series we created over 30 years ago, mostly because I can't remember a thing about making it, and I am thrilled to say I have found the answer. As my co-host, Dashiell Driscoll will be my key to unlocking every door at Bayside, a key he assures me Zack Morris would've had. I haven’t watched a single episode in its entirety since I walked off the sets in 1993. It’s time to wheel that big television into class. Go Bayside!" Zack to the Future premieres July 29.

Mark-Paul Gosselaar admits his Saved by the Bell podcast is "a little bit torturous," but he's glad that it's different from other TV recap podcasts

Gosselaar recently teamed with Zack Morris is Trash creator and Saved by the Bell reboot writer Dashiell Driscoll on the new Zack to the Future podcast. "I always wanted to do something, but I could never find something that would celebrate the original product without tarnishing it in some way," says Gosselaar. "Had I thought of Zack Morris is Trash, I would have been very proud of that take on it because I think that’s an original take. I was a huge fan of Dashiell through his work on Zack Morris is Trash. And I’ve been approached many times to do a podcast, but I didn’t watch the show so I couldn’t wrap my head around how we would do a rewatch show. So we’re trying to do something different. There’s rewatch shows for The Office and what Zach Braff is doing with Donald Faison, but it’s still so fresh in their minds; they still remember the process and the stories that happened on set. I remember nothing. The (new show) really accelerated the talks of getting it on the air, but Dashiell was the key to doing a project that didn’t feel like the current ones out there. It felt like a fresh take on it and I was excited to be his partner."
