UPDATE: The answer: Mr. Belding! Or Dennis Haskins, if your his kin. Shouts out to commenters Tanya and Fatphree who nailed it. JT Snow and Willie Mays were also announced as this year's celebrity guests today.
ORIGINAL: This week the Fresno Grizzlies are announcing all their promotions for the season. They've announced their fireworks night and their giveaways. Today they will be announcing their theme nights and theme jerseys. But I'm waiting for Friday, when they announce what's most interesting to me -- their celebrity guests.
As you might recall, the Grizzlies brought Billy Zabka (aka Johnny Lawrence from the Cobra Kai Dojo) to Fresno last year for Totally Rad '80s Night.
The Griz brass have been teasing me this week, saying they have somebody bigger than Zabka lined up. (Who's bigger than Zabka?!?) I've tried to get it out of them. I asked if it was Biff Tannen. I asked if it was Vicki from "Small Wonder." No, I was told on both counts. Better.
They offered the following tidbit today: It's going to be called "Mad Tight '90s Night" and it's happening May 14. Who could it be? I'm not sure yet. Zack Morris? Bobby Brown? Either of those would be tight. But I know there's tighter people out there. Until the Grizzlies announce it tomorrow (they're doing it live on "Great Day" at 9:20 a.m.) all we have is guesses. So gimme yours.
Who do you think the Grizzlies are bringing for Mad Tight '90s Night?
PREVIOUSLY: The Fresno Grizzlies bring the FresWow
DJ Jazzy Jeff
mad tight? ooof.
Color Me Badd??? Soul 4 Real???
As a bonus, the first person to guess the special guest correctly here in the comments (before we announce it on Great Day tomorrow obviously), the Grizzlies will give him/her four tickets to Mad Tight 90's Night Featuring... on May 14th.
I pick Warrant. Or Poison...
Timmy T
John Stamos?
Blossom?
Joey Lawrence?
@Heather- I second Timmy T.
Other guesses:
Mr. Belding, or for that matter anyone else from SBTB.
Screech!!!
Pauley Shore!!!
Maybe Paul Ruebens will make a stop in the 'no.
I you are, but what am I?
Steve Urkel!!
Bob Sagat?
It's obviously Jean-Claude Van Damme. When do I get my free tickets?
Jaleel White. Sports guy.
Or maybe they'll bring back Will Allbritton, who USED to be the adhoc Grizzlies Beehiver. If he gets laid off, will he still Bee a Beehiver?? What about any of you? Are any of you getting pinked? If so, will you Beehive still??
Tony Danza
On behalf of my beautiful fiance I guess Marvelous Mario Lopez. If it does happen to be him I hope he grows out his jerry curl before his appearance and also wears those super sweet acid wash jeans to the Chuck! SUPER TIGHT!
Mr.Belding!!!
jerry seinfield
I'm super stoked about JT and Willie mayes! :) Yay!!!
I saw Mr.Belding once. At an O-Town concert.
No joke.
willie mays was an a$$ to me when he did an autograph signing at Euless park where the San Jose Giants used to play. Home of the City College baseball rams.
i was only 8 or 9 years old. i just wanted my ball signed. i was told to hurry up or move along by the cranky old man.
i got the ball signed and you know what i did with it? i played with it, haha. a neighbor got my signed baseball out of his muddy garden and he said, is this an autograph? who signed it. i said willie mays. he said, why are you playing with this ball, do you know how much it's worth. i just said, i didn't care. i need a ball to play with.
true story, this really is. i have no respect for that cranky old man. he can kiss my butt. (yeah, his attitude that day did have an affect on me, haha)
To the kids upset by Willie Mays:
Yes, he is an a$$. No, he could care less. Because he can. 1. He thinks you'll just sell whatever he signs. 2. He won't get any $$ from you for his signature. 3. When you get older you'll either understand, or become "cereal" killers.....
Sorry for the lesson taught here but just think, you were once so rich you could actually play baseball with a baseball signed by the once great Mays! Not many people can say that, so there Mr. Mays!
p.s. I'll send Sasha to bite him on the butt if you want, just a thought....
I'm not trying to be a debbie downer or bitter betty, but in my opinion Mr. Belding is not bigger than last years celebrity Johnny Lawrence of the Cobra Kai. Thats a fact!
If it was Zack Morris or Jessie Spano that that would be a different story. I got to see Johnny last year and it was nice seeing a cobra kai.
Why the hell would I want to go see the principal Mr. belding? So he can give me detention? That's weak! I guess thats all they could afford in this recession.
They should have just got Mayor Swearengin. I would rather get her autograph then Beldings.
They should have got Screech! or at least Gary Coleman.
