'Screech' hopes to be saved by the T-shirt
MILWAUKEE - More than a bell is needed to save Dustin Diamond this time around. Diamond, best known as geeky Screech Powers on the 1989-1993 teen comedy series "Saved by the Bell," is selling T-shirts with his photo on them to try to raise $250,000 so he doesn't lose his gray two-story house under a foreclosure order.
"If the public didn't care, I as an entertainer wouldn't have been a success," he said.
Diamond, 29, is trying to sell nearly 30,000 shirts — at $15 or $20 (autographed) each — to supplement the income he makes as a standup comic so he doesn't have to move from his Port Washington home, about 25 miles north of Milwaukee.
The T-shirt has a photo of Diamond holding a sign that says, "Save My House." The back of the shirt reads, "I paid $15.00 to save Screeech's house." The third "e" was added to get around copyright laws, he said.
He's selling the shirts on his Web site: http://www.getdshirts.com.
The foreclosure order was filed last month in Ozaukee County Circuit Court.
Diamond appeared on Howard Stern's satellite radio show Tuesday to plead his case. "I'm doing great with my comedy, but this is definitely a low point," he said. "Real life comes in and affects you."
Diamond doesn't have a listed phone number, and e-mails to the address on his Web site and at an alternative address were not immediately returned Thursday.

You know why he doesn't have any money? His parents stole it all.

Doesn't that make him look like a sell-out loser? If you're gonna buy a shirt from him to save his house, want to buy one of my photographs to send me to college?

Just wondering how a guy who appeared on Saved by the bell, could become a sellout? I'd say he was born a sellout.

I remember an old Howard interview (about 3-4 years old) with Screech. Screech called his dad on the air and asked him why he quit his job and mooched off of his show-biz earnings. I guess the dad lives with him and putters around the house doing nothing nowadays.
I feel really bad for this guy. His parents/agents/lawyers fucked him.
