Tyra Banks Helps Dustin Diamond Save Home by Bulk Buying T-Shirts  10/7/06

Former Saved by the Bell star Dustin Diamond was left amazed during an appearance on US TV's The Tyra Banks Show, when the generous host bought $3,000 worth of T-shirts to help save his house.

Diamond, who played school geek Screech in the 1990s teen show, is selling autographed T-shirts in a bid to keep his home.

The 29-year-old needs to raise $250,000 to save his Milwaukee, Wisconsin house from a foreclosure order.

The shirts have a photo of the actor as character Screech Powers holding a sign that says, "Save My House." The back of the shirt reads, "I paid $15.00 to save Screech's house."

And kind-hearted Banks decided to hand over the cheque for $3,000, the equivalent of 200 shirts - although she mistakenly thought the amount bought 150 shirts.

A moved Diamond said, "Thank you so much, " before the shirts were handed out around the studio audience.
