Jimmy Fallon continued his trip to Los Angeles by reminiscing about how he actually went to high school in California during Wednesday night's episode of "The Tonight Show." Of course, it was just an excuse to reunite the gang from "Saved by the Bell."

The hallway set from Bayside High looked nearly flawless as Fallon greeted original "Bell" castmembers Mark-Paul Gosselaar, Tiffani-Amber Thiessen, Elizabeth Berkley Mario Lopez and Dennis Haskins.

Gosselaar and Fallon greeted one another through the lyrics of the show's classic intro. But everything changed when Lopez came out.

How is it that Mario Lopez looks almost identical to the way he did when he was a teenager on the show. Everyone still looks fantastic, but Lopez' age-defying appearance was almost shocking.

The hits kept coming, as Lopez brought out Elizabeth Berkley and then weirdly stripped down to a black unitard to prove he was ready for the upcoming big dance.

Things took an unexpectedly mature turn when Thiessen showed up with a bombshell so big that Gosselaar had to call "time out."

The gang even managed to throw out a few nods to the post-"Bell" careers of some of its castmembers, including Berkley's star turn in the cult classic "Showgirls."

"The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon" airs weeknights at 11:35 p.m. ET on NBC.
