Kobe Bryant was set to film a cameo in the ‘Saved by the Bell’ revival days before passing
Kobe Bryant was set to film a cameo in the Saved by the Bell revival on Peacock, days before losing his life in January 2020, alongside his teenaged daughter and seven other passengers.Josie Totah and Alycia Pascual-Peña revealed in an episode of Dare We Say that the late basketball legend was scheduled to film the pilot episode. “A wild tidbit that I don’t think a lot of people know, or it’s not important at all because obviously, we are the least of importance when it comes to this legend and his daughter’s passing, but we were actually supposed to film with Kobe two days after he died,” Totah said.According to Pascual-Peña, the energy on set “shifted greatly” when they had to film the pilot without Kobe. “I remember learning that he had passed through one of our best friends Anjelika Washington,” Pascual-Peña says.
