¶¶ >>> TONIGHT, "E.T.'S" IN THE "90210," AN ENTIRE SHOW FROM THE
PEACH PIT, AND A SPECIAL
CO-HOST.
>> WELCOME TO THE LEGENDARY
PEACH PIT.
>> WE'VE GOT IT ALL -- A SET
TOUR, SECRETS, WHAT TO EXPECT
FROM THE REBOOT'S PREMIERE.
>> THE SHOW IS NOT WHAT YOU
EXPECT.
>> AND COMPLETE '90s FLASHBACK.
>> EVERYBODY CAN WATCH IT AND
RELATE TO AT LEAST ONE OF THE
CHARACTERS.
>> OH, MY GOODNESS.
WHAT WAS THAT VOICE?
>> PLUS, REMEMBERING LUKE PERRY.
>> TO GET TO ANY SUCCESS, YOU'VE
GOT TO FAIL A FEW TIMES.
>> I STILL HAVEN'T -- GOD.
>> THIS IS "ENTERTAINMENT
TONIGHT."
¶¶
TONIGHT." ¶¶ >> COME ON IN, LADIES.
>> OH, MY GOD!
>> WELCOME TO THE LEGENDARY
PEACH PIT.
>> SO COOL!
>> THIS IS AMAZING.
SO, WHAT EXACTLY IS GOING ON
HERE, BESIDES ALL THESE PEOPLE
WITH THEIR PHONES TRYING TO
SNEAK A PICTURE OF YOU RIGHT
NOW?
>> HI, EVERYBODY!
>> THIS IS A POP-UP RECREATION
OF THE ORIGINAL PEACH PIT FROM
THE '90s.
>> WOW.
>> THIS IS A MACHINATION PUT
TOGETHER TO RAISE EXCITEMENT AND
HEIGHTEN AWARENESS.
>> WE'VE BEEN WAITING NEARLY 20
YEARS FOR THIS, ME AND ALL THOSE
PEOPLE OUT THERE AS WELL.
>> YES.
>> THE RETURN OF "90210" ON FOX.
THAT SOUNDS SO GOOD TO MY EARS.
CAN YOU GET US READY FOR ALL
THIS?
>> ONE THING YOU'VE GOT TO
KNOW --
>> OKAY.
>> OKAY.
>> -- YOU'RE GOING TO LOVE IT.
¶¶
>> OH, YEAH.
THE ICONIC MUSIC, THE CLASSIC
GROUP SHOT, IT'S ALL BACK, BUT
THIS ISN'T EXACTLY THE "90210"
YOU REMEMBER.
>> THE SHOW IS GOING TO BE
EVERYTHING THAT YOU WANT IT TO
BE, AND THEN NOT WHAT YOU EXPECT
IT TO BE.
>> IT'S QUITE A CONFUSING
CONCEPT TO GRASP AT FIRST.
I UNDERSTAND.
>> THE IDEA OF THE SHOW IS THAT
WE'RE TAKING PEOPLE BEHIND THE
SCENES A LITTLE BIT.
>> OKAY, SO THINK OF IT AS A
MOCKUMENTARY WITH THE CAST KIND
OF PLAYING THEMSELVES.
JASON IS A DIRECTOR.
TORI'S A BROKE REALITY TV STAR.
AND JENNIE'S UNLUCKY IN LOVE.
>> SO, WE ARE PLAYING CHARACTERS
THAT HAVE OUR NAMES, OUR REAL
NAMES.
JENNIE IS A WOMAN IN, YOU KNOW,
HER MID-40s, AND SHE'S
STRUGGLING WITH RELATIONSHIPS.
>> TORI, LIKE, YOU WROTE IN YOUR
BOOK, YOU WROTE ABOUT BEING
BROKE, ABOUT HAVING CHILDREN.
WILL WE GET A LITTLE OF THAT.
>> YEAH, OF COURSE!
HERE'S THE THING, WHEN WE CAME
TOGETHER, IT WAS LIKE, WE EITHER
HAVE TO GO BROKE OR GO HOME.
>> JASON IS MARRIED TO MEGAN
FOX.
BUT IN "BH90210," HE'S PLAYED TO
A SINGER PLAYED BY LA LA
ANTHONY.
>> IT'S LIKE A HUGE MEGA STAR,
BRIAN, WHO'S A STAY-AT-HOME DAD,
BUT HE'S ALSO TRYING TO GET HIS
CAREER BACK UP AND RUNNING.
>> ALSO IN REAL LIFE, GABRIELLE
IS PRESIDENT OF THE SCREEN
ACTORS GUILD.
>> WILL THAT PLAY INTO THIS AT
ALL?
WILL WE SEE ANY OF THAT?
>> I THINK YOU'LL SEE A LITTLE
BIT OF IT, BUT --
>> REALLY?
>> WELL, SINCE THERE IS THAT
DEGREE OF WHO WE ARE TODAY.
>> YOU PULLED THE CURTAIN BACK
ON LOTS OF THINGS, I MEAN,
ESPECIALLY THE RELATIONSHIP WITH
SHANNEN AND HOW YOU HADN'T
SPOKEN AND MAYBE THERE WAS SOME
ISSUES.
>> WELL, EVERYTHING THEY WRITE,
WE'RE JUST LIKE, OKAY, LET'S
MAKE THAT PART OF A STORY LINE.
THIS IS WHAT PEOPLE THINK OF US,
SO LET'S KIND OF GO FULL FORCE
INTO THAT.
>> VANESSA LACHEY JOINS THE CAST
AS JASON'S WIFE.
>> THIS IS, LIKE, EVERY GIRL'S
DREAM IN MY ERA.
>> OKAY, BUT YOU AND JASON,
THINGS MIGHT NOT BE ALL SO ROSY,
RIGHT?
>> ARE YOU GIVING A SPOILER?
>> WHAT DO WE EXPECT?
DO WE GET SOME YUMMY EASTER
EGGS?
>> WE DROP THEM LIKE THERE'S NO
TOMORROW, TINY, YUMMY BOMBS
THROUGHOUT EVERY EPISODE.
>> I WANT TO EXCHANGE AN EGG.
>> I'D LIKE TO EXCHANGE THIS
EGG.
>> YOU WANT TO EXCHANGE AN EGG?
>> AND YEAH, THERE WILL BE
PLENTY OF THROWBACKS TO THE
ORIGINAL SHOW, SO HOW WILL THE
MOST EPIC REUNION EVER EVEN
HAPPEN?
>> WE SENT SOME TEXTS.
WE CAME UP WITH AN IDEA, AND WE
TOOK IT IN AND WORKED IT OUT AND
THEN WE GOT THE GROUP ON BOARD,
AND THE REST IS, I DON'T KNOW,
FATE.
>> THERE'S A PHENOMENAL, LIKE
"90210" CHAT.
>> WE SHOULD DO THIS FOR REAL.
WHAT DO YOU SAY?
>> WHOO!
>> JENNIE AND TORI SPENT OVER A
YEAR WORKING ON THE CONCEPT FOR
THIS NONTRADITIONAL REBOOT.
ALL FOR ONE VERY SIMPLE
REASON --
>> JENNIE AND I WANTED TO WORK
TOGETHER.
WE'VE BEEN BEST FRIENDS EVER
SINCE THE SHOW.
SO, WE'VE BEEN BEST FRIENDS FOR
OVER 30 YEARS.
WE JUST WANT TO CONTINUE TO WORK
TOGETHER.
WE WANT OUR KIDS TO BE ABLE TO
COME TO SET.
>> BUT NOT EVERYBODY WAS ON
BOARD FROM THE GET-GO.
SHANNEN DOHERTY, WHO LEFT THE
SHOW AFTER FOUR SEASONS, SWORE
SHE'D NEVER PLAY BRENDA WALSH
AGAIN.
AFTER LOSING FRIEND AND CAST
MATE LUKE PERRY IN MARCH,
SHANNEN HAD A CHANGE OF HEART.
>> I FELT LIKE IT WAS AN
IMPORTANT TIME FOR ALL OF US TO
COME TOGETHER JUST TO HONOR HIM.
IT WAS PROBABLY THREE WEEKS OR A
MONTH AFTER HE PASSED THAT I
FINALLY WAS LIKE, OKAY, YES.
>> SHE COMPLETES THE GROUP OF
GIRLS AND THAT ENERGY THAT WE
ALL HAVE WITH EACH OTHER, AND
IT'S BRENDA.
I MEAN, WE'VE GOT TO HAVE
BRENDA.
>> WHAT DO YOU WANT?
>> YOU.
>> IT'S JUST LIKE THE PERFECT
TIMING, AND NOW THE '90s ARE
BACK IN, EVERYONE'S WATCHING IT.
YEAH, MY KIDS ARE LIKE, OH, MY
GOSH, YOU WERE ON A TV SHOW?
LIKE, YOU WERE FAMOUS?
>> OH, MY GOD, IT'S SO CRAZY!
AND YOUR LITTLE GIRLS ARE
DISCOVERING IT FOR THE FIRST
TIME.
>> THEY'RE SEEING BILLBOARDS,
ADS ALL OVER THE PLACE.
>> IT'S SO CRAZY.
HERE WHAT I KNOW, IT'S
INTERESTING TO KNOW AN ENTIRE
NEW FAN BASE WILL DISCOVER
"90210" TONIGHT.
>> IT IS.
>> IT WAS HYSTERIA THE FIRST
TIME AROUND.
>> I'M READY.
LET'S DO IT.
>> OKAY.
WELL, HERE'S WHAT I DO KNOW, IS
THAT "90210" WAS AN ABSOLUTE POP
CULTURE GAME-CHANGER.
[ SCREAMING ]
¶¶
>> I WENT TO THE MALL TO MAKE AN
APPEARANCE.
WE DIDN'T FIGURE THAT WE WOULD
GET A TURNOUT OF 5,000 PEOPLE.
I HAD NO IDEA THAT, YOU KNOW, WE
WOULD REQUIRE A S.W.A.T. TEAM.
>> ONE, TWO, THREE!
[ SCREAMING ]
>> IT STARTED GETTING GRABBED
AND THEN MY CLOTHES STARTED
GETTING GRABBED AND PULLED, AND
THAT'S KIND OF SCARY.
>> THEY WERE HOUNDED.
THEY WERE LIKE THE BEATLES.
[ SCREAMING ]
I REMEMBER BEING IN A SHOPPING
MALL ON AN ESCALATOR AND SOMEONE
WAS SCREAMING, "DONNA!"
IT WAS LIKE THE FIRST TIME I
REALIZED, LIKE, PEOPLE KNOW WHO
WE ARE.
>> LUKE PERRY AND I DID AN
APPEARANCE IN FRESNO,
CALIFORNIA, AT THE ZOO.
WE WERE LITERALLY, LIKE
SCRUNCHED TO DEATH.
WE HAD TO LEAVE RIGHT AWAY AND
HAD TO BE TAKEN OUT THROUGH THE
PARROT CAGE, SO.
[ CROWD CHANTING ]
>> HEY, GREAT TO BE HERE!
>> I WAS JUST IN SPAIN AND FOUND
OUT WE'RE VERY BIG OVER THERE
ALSO.
INCREDIBLE.
ALSO. INCREDIBLE. GOT OFF THE PLANE AND THERE WERE
LIKE 5,000 PEOPLE THERE WAITING
TO SEE ME.
I'M LIKE, I'M NOT LUKE PERRY!
>> AT HEIGHT OF SUCCESS, THE
TEEN DRAMA DREW IN OVER 120
MILLION VIEWERS A WEEK, SEEN IN
43 COUNTRIES AROUND THE WORLD
AND GENERATED BILLIONS OF
DOLLARS IN MERCHANDISING
REVENUES.
>> I USED TO PLAY WITH LITTLE
DOLLS, AND NOW I HAVE ONE MADE
AFTER THIS CHARACTER, KELLI, SO
IT'S PRETTY FRIGHTENING,
ACTUALLY.
>> ALL THAT WITHOUT THE HELP OF
SOCIAL MEDIA.
WHILE SHANNEN HAD ALREADY FOUND
FAME IN THE CULT CLASSIC
"HEATHERS," JASON WAS
STRUGGLING, SHARING AN APARTMENT
WITH AN UP-AND-COMING ACTOR
NAMED BRAD PITT.
AND LUKE WAS WORKING A
CONSTRUCTION JOB JUST BEFORE
BEING CAST.
>> I WAS UNEMPLOYED FOR LIKE 18
MONTHS WORKING IN A FISH STORE
AND I JUST WANTED TO KNOW AT
THAT TIME WHEN I FIRST
AUDITIONED, HOW AM I GOING TO
MAKE MY RENT PAYMENT?
>> ETOWAH ON SET WHEN THE SHOW
DEBUTED IN 1990, AND EVEN THOUGH
IT WASN'T AN IMMEDIATE HIT, THEY
KNEW IT WAS IAMATTER OF TIME.
>> IT GAVE THE AUDIENCE
SOMETHING TO LOOK AT OTHER THAN
THE SAME OLD THING EVERY
THURSDAY NIGHT.
>> DILLON, WHAT IF I'M PREGNANT?
>> THE TIPPING POINT WAS I THINK
WHEN BRENDA LOST HER VIRGINITY.
AND FROM THERE, WE WERE ALL
SHELLSHOCKED THAT WE WENT INTO
SUMMER EPISODES THAT WAS ALSO
NEW, ORIGINAL CONTENT WHILE
EVERYBODY ELSE WAS ON HIATUS
GAVE PEOPLE SOMETHING TO WATCH.
AND BECAUSE THE CONTENT HAD
GLITZ AND GLAMOUR AND KIDS
HAVING FUN, IT WAS VERY
WATCHABLE.
IT JUST MADE THE SHOW SKYROCKET.
>> WELL, DON'T YOU JUST WISH WE
COULD REWIND THE LAST THREE
YEARS?
>> BY THE FINAL BOW IN 2000, IT
HAD A LEEJD OF DIE-HARD FANS FOR
LIFE AND RUMBLINGS OF A REBOOT
EVEN THEN.
>> IF THEY DO, DO ONE, THEY
CAN'T WAIT UNTIL WE'RE ALL LIKE
50.
THAT'S NOT FAIR.
>> CAN I SAY SPRING IS IN THE
AIR.
>> OF COURSE THE SHOW'S GOING TO
BE REMEMBERED, THOUGH, FOR
MOSTLY MY HAIR, I THINK.
>> WE'RE DEALING WITH MAJOR
ISSUES THAT YOUNG PEOPLE WERE
GOING THROUGH, AND OUR SHOW SORT
OF GAVE THEM A VOICE AND WAS
THERE FOR THEM.
>> AND IN ITS TEN YEARS ON THE
AIR, A WHOLE LOT OF NOW-FAMOUS
GUEST STARS POPPED UP.
>> WHAT WOULD YOUR FUTURE
HUSBAND SAY MOST ATTRACTED HIM
TO YOU?
>> MY MIND.
>> IT WAS THE SHOW THAT I
WATCHED AS A KID GROWING UP THAT
MADE ME WANT TO MOVE TO L.A.
>> FROM RYAN TO FERGIE --
¶ STAND BY MY SIDE ¶
-- TO CHRISTINA.
¶ IF YOU WANNA BE WITH ME ¶TTHE
"FRIENDS."
>> HOW ABOUT WE SEE WHAT THESE
CLUNKERS ARE MADE OF?
>> NO THANKS.
>> LUCY LUI'S FIRST ACTING GIG?
PEACH PIT WAITRESS.
>> SO, WHAT CAN I GET YOU TODAY?
>> I WORKED WITH LUKE PERRY AND
JASON PRIESTLEY, SO IT WAS A
THRILL BACK THEN, ESPECIALLY
SINCE THEY WERE HEART THROBS.
>> EVA LONGORIA GOT HER DEBUT AS
FLIGHT ATTENDANT NUMBER THREE.
>> DO YOU REMEMBER THE WAITRESS'
NAME ON THE FLIGHT?
>> I BARELY KNEW THE NAME.
>> I WOULD STEAL FRUIT FROM
HOME, TAKE AN APPLE, A BANANA.
>> COMING UP, YOU CAN'T DO
BEVERLY WITHOUT THE PEACH PIT!
>> WE NEVER HAD A FRONT OF THE
PEACH PIT.
>> NO.
>> BUT THE GANG'S GOT A NEW
HANGOUT SPOT.
>> IT IS KIND OF LIKE A GROWN-UP
PEACH PIT.
>> AND JENNIE'S GIVING US A TOUR
AND SPILLING SET SECRETS.
>> IS THAT FOR REAL?
>> PLUS, HOW
