Kobe Bryant was set to make a small appearance in the pilot for the short-lived reboot of “Saved by the Bell.” Two of the show’s actors, Josie Totah and Alycia Pascual-Peña, shared the tidbit on an episode of their podcast, “Dare We Say.” To Totah, the idea of working with Byrant was completely unreal but exciting. “I remember the costume girls had gotten his sizes from his stylist, he fully was on the call sheet and all of that,” Totah shared.
Bryant had previously shown a bit of his acting chops in small roles on shows like “Moesha,” “Sister, Sister,” and “Modern Family.” However, he tragically never got the chance to appear on the Peacock reboot. The pilot was set to film just two days after Bryant’s death in January 2020. While the cast and crew had been greatly anticipating filming the pilot and Bryant’s appearance, Pascual-Peña admitted that “the energy on set had shifted greatly” after his death. Though Bryant never had the opportunity to appear on the show, the actors acknowledged his great legacy will live on forever across the globe.
