Screech is still a dork.

I don't know a lot about the mortgage business but I think that foreclosure only happens when you don't pay your payment. So here is some advice for Screech - 1. Sale the big ole $250,000 home (you live in Wisconsin so I'm thinking that's a big house for skinney ole you). 2. Give up comedy and get a job like me.

Sorry, I have no idea why I thought you needed to know this...

'Screech' Hopes to Be Saved by the T-ShirtSaturday J

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.

Yipes. If you have to supplement your income as a comedian by selling 30,000 shirts, you're not a comedian you are a t-shirt salesman.
Hope he bought the press and set it up in the garage.
