The legendary Peter
Engel (you know him as executive producer and creator of Saved
by the Bell, Last Comic Standing, and much more), now in his
eighties, has recently released his memoir titled I Was Saved by the Bell filled
with energy, candor, wisdom and positivity.
His decades of experience in the television industry inspires
those chasing their own dreams, and the grace with which he has overcome
personal challenges resonates with us all.
And who doesn’t remember watching this
show every Saturday morning- goofy, funny, silly, happy, sad, heart-breaking.
I got to meet Mark-Paul Gosselaar a few years ago for a new show,
and the first thing I said to him was: “I loved you on Saved by the Bell.” He laughed and hugged me, he was a total
sweetie.
Read about Engel’s favorite moments of his life – from showbiz to personal
accomplishments, fun behind the scenes glimpses into his popular work,
including Saved by the Bell, entertaining stories of his most memorable
encounters with famous figures throughout the times.
Peter Engel, one of the most
prolific producers in television with more than 1,000 episodes produced
under his banner, single handedly created the teen sitcom with Saved
By The Bell, which he executive produced through all of its many
incarnations, and which led to his many other teen series, including California
Dreams, Hang Time, City Guys, and USA High.
As if defining and conquering the teen arena wasn't enough, Engel produced the
iconic Last Comic Standing, enabling the discovery of an entirely
new, fresh generation of comedians.
All of this would be more of a career
than any producer could ever dream of having, and with more than 50 years in
the television industry, Engel has forgotten more than most will ever know.
Engel’s life and work touched and inspired an entire “Bell” generation, whose
values and views of a diverse world were shaped by the stories and plain old
fun of Peter’s shows.
