On the broadcast from February 1, Lopez reflected on the last conversation he had with Diamond, 2 weeks before he passed away from cancer.

During the episode, Lopez told viewers that Diamond had been like a "little brother" to him. They had both been young teenagers when filming the 90s TV show "Saved by the Bell."

Lopez shared that in their last conversation, Diamond had been so optimistic and happy. Unfortunately, shortly after their conversation, he passed away. Lopez shared with viewers:

"I spoke with him a couple of weeks ago, after he got his diagnosis, even then he was full of energy and was optimistic. Life is just so fragile."

Diamond had gone to hospital after experiencing a mystery illness. The doctors ran a few tests, and he was diagnosed with stage 4 small cell carcinoma.

He had admitted to trying to persuade Diamond to do something in the reality TV business, which he would have produced. Unfortunately, nothing is possible now, Lopez explained:

"Unfortunately that won't come to fruition now, but he was in good spirits at least. He was pretty positive and optimistic last I spoke to him."
