Summary

Mario Lopez steps Behind The Rope. One of the most beloved names in Pop Culture TV history is here to mention it all. Mario chats about his Iconic break out role as A.C. Slater in Saved By The Bell and what it is like all these decades later to still be tied to the role and show that started it all. Mario opens up about reprising that role in the SBTB Reboot, co-stars Elizabeth Berkley, Tiffani Thiessen and Mark-Paul Gosselaar and whether we are done with the show or can expect to see it back in some form in the future. Mario also chats DWTS, Reality TV, Pop Culture, his day job on Access Hollywood and all the mega celebs he has interviewed throughout the years. Finally Mario talks fatherhood, married life in Hollywood and much more. Thank you Mr. Lopez for, as we say, mentioning it all. @mariolopez  @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BONUS & AD FREE EPISODES Available at - www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope BROUGHT TO YOU BY: QUINCE - quince.com/velvetrope (Get Free Shipping and 365 Day Returns on Elevated Luxury Without Paying Luxury Prices) HONEYLOVE - honeylove.com/velvet (20% Off Entire Order of The Best Shapewear & Bras) PELOTON - onepeloton.com/home-trial (Find Your Zone With a 30 Day Worry-Free Home Trial of Peloton Bikes) WATERBOY- waterboy.com (Use Code Velvet For 15% Off For the Best Hangover Cure That Actually Works) STARBUCKS - (Introducing the New Starbucks Iced Apple Crisp Oatmilk Shaken Espresso!
