"Saved by the Bell" is one of the crappiest TV shows ever. I remember watching it in disbelief that it is an actual show and not some parody.
I guess the bizarre thing was that in the end, all the characters moved on (to college) except Screech who still stayed in high school for some reason, making him even creepier, and now when these desperate actors gathered back to continue the show, they ditched Screech - I guess for some snobbish reason that he was not good enough for the show's high standards.
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

Oh well, I haven't heard about the stabbing thing. I remember once, many years ago, visiting his Wikipedia article and only controversy about him back then was that he had a sex tape.

My next door neighbor. He was showing his kids that masks were safe. Took a big breath and inhale a mask (wasn't hooked behind his ears), suffocated before they could dislodge it. Don't know if he counts as a Covid kill or not.

Although he wasn't on my list of favorite actors, I always loved his Mark Twain impersonations.
