Alfonso Ribeiro (2015)

Do you keep regular contact with Will Smith?

If yes, can you deactivate Jaden's twitter account for his own good?

What's not unusual?

I can Carlton like nobody's business. Thanks for the education. You're a legend in your own time.

Have you ever walked around with Ritz crackers and called yourself "Ritz-Carlton"?

Was James Avery really as awesome as I think that he was?

You created the Carlton yourself? Sorry if I've been in a cave too long but I never knew that. The more you know...

Hi Alfonso!

Who would win in a no-holds-barred fight to the death amongst AFV hosts? You, Tom, or Bob? (Let's all ignore that Daisy Fuentes and whathisface era).

Standard Thunderdome rules apply.

Hey Alfonso! What was it like to do this Pepsi commercial with Michael Jackson? How many people auditioned for the part? Thank you for taking the time to do this AMA.

Can you tell us an example of a completely inappropriate time that a stranger has demanded that you dance for them?

Hi Alfonso,

I’m a big fan, thanks for doing this AMA! I have three questions.

You once told a story how an excited fan punched you in the face and you then kicked his ass, what other hilarious fan meetings stick out in your mind?

What do you think Carlton Banks greatest moment was in Fresh Prince?

Finally, are you a fan of the HBO series “Game of Thrones” and if so who’s your favorite character?

Thanks!

Hello Alfonso,

Fist just wanted to show that i have one of those shirts with your face on it. It was a weird find but everybody i show it to loves it.

As for a question, did ABC have you prepare for AFV by having you watch videos online like "funny fail complilations" or others videos like that? Or is that something you did on your own to get adjusted to what type of videos you would be looking at for the show. Thanks if you can answer.

Will you answer this question?

Wow! I never catch these things in time! First of all: Big fan. I started watching F.P when I was just a little tot. I really love your acting style. So much light you bring to your roles. Awesome your hosting AFV I will defiantly start watching again now. Any who enough gushing: My question: You always seem to be in such great shape. As a fellow exerciser I was wondering what your workout routine or diet consists of? Thank you for your time and your contributions to the world of cinema!

Do you miss doing the Fresh prince, and is there any chance it may come back in the future, it wouldn't be the same without Uncle Phil (James Avery) though? :(

Hello Alfonso, loved your portrayal of Carlton :)

Just curious as to why Tom Bergeron was replaced anyways? He seemed very emotional and shook up about it.

Have you kept in touch with Bill Nye since you appeared on an episode of Bill Nye the Science Guy?

Hi!!! Big fan! Anyway, it's only a matter of time before Disney calls you up and asks you to be a Marvel movie. My question is would you be a hero, sidekick, or villain? And who would play your nemesis?

Alfonso talked to me. He has shaken hands with Will Smith. I now can say Will Smith and I are best friends.

Hi Alfonso. Thanks for doing. Before I get to my question there is something I'd like to say.

A little while back, I was going through a bad time in my life. For reasons I won't go into now. I remember this one day. It was a Friday. It was the end of a crappy day, at the end of a crappy week, which at that point had been a particularly crappy month. I finished work late that day and couldn't wait to just get home a chill. Like every Friday night, I tune into The Graham Norton show. My decision on whether or not I will continue watching usually depends on the guests. This particular show had Will Smith and Bradley Cooper. So, I thought, this should be good, and continued watching. Then this happened. I was not expecting to see anything like that. It was possibly the greatest thing I had ever seen and it was genuinely the first time I had felt any sense of happiness in a long time. I just wanted to say thank you for doing that. It created a memory I will never ever forget. And on top of that, thank you for just being a huge part of my childhood. I remember coming home from school and tuning into The Fresh Prince of Bel Air. It was on every day and watched it every single time. Thank you for all of the hilarious moments you gave us on the show.

As for my question, I wanted to ask if you know the situation with Will Smith's dad? There is this picture going around on the internet from the scene where Uncle Phil is giving him a hug after his dad walked out on him again. It says that the reason he gave such a convincing performance in that episode was because it mirrors the relationship with his actual father, who walked out on him. Now that seems like the typical sort of thing that gets spread around on Facebook that everyone automatically believes because they are gullible. Is there any truth to that, or does he in fact have a good relationship with his father and the good performance he gave in that episode was simply down to the fact that he is an extremely talented actor?

If you got a second chance on DWTS, would you do it again? And if you weren't paired with Witney, who would you want?

Hey, Alfonso! Thanks for doing this AMA! What was the hardest part of doing Dancing with the Stars?

Oh, OK, well then, i'll see myself out.

Congrats on the job :)

Hey Alfonso!

Thanks for doing this AMA. My question is, if you had the chance to play any character in a movie which movie character would you want to be? Or what's your dream role?

Love you man! Hey, since so many people recognize you by the name of Carlton, what name would you have chosen for your character back then?

What kind of future do you think AFV has in this age of youtube and streaming video?

Definitely not Trix. Am I right?!

I gotta say, I miss seeing you on TV.

Would you agree that AFV will 1000% better now that you're the host?

Have you seen the YouTube video "The Fesh Pince of Blair"? I highly recommend you to watch it, it's very funny.

Hey Alfonso. Thanks for doing this AMA.

From your many episodes on Fresh Prince, any particular episodes that hit close to home? Giving you a special emotional connection through the script that made you connect in ways other scripts did not?

And I remember watching Will Smith on his interview with Graham Norton saying that you suggested to him to keep "Will" as his name for the show so that people wouldn't call him anything otherwise. Do you regret keeping "Carlton" as your name for the show? And would you rather have had another name?

Do you have a favorite "AFV?"

Thanks again. Fresh Prince is easily one of of my favorite shows of all time.

What is better, winning the Long Beach Grand Prix or Dancing with the Stars?

Hey Alfonso, thank you for doing this. I know you've been performing for a long time, but is there another celebrity that made you starstruck when you met them?

What is your favorite Formula One team?

The carlton dance has over time become more and more incorporated into pop culture. About a week ago, Bungie the makers of Destiny introduced new emotes in the game, and one is the Carlton dance. Did you have any involvment with that? Do you play Destiny, or any other games for that matter?

Everybody loves the Carlton dance. We all know the part where you swing your arms back and forth, but less acknowledge the part where you pump your hands to one side and shimmy/slide in the other direction. Man I love that part what's that called?

Who do you think would win in a dance off? Bob Saget, or Tom Bergeron?

Alfonso, how can I get a copy of your breaking and popping book? I tried to order it and the address and phone number doesn't work.

How can I learn the centipede and rap now so I can be hot with the ladies?

Will you be dressing up for Halloween this year? If so, what will you be dressing up as?

Do you prefer to improvise or stick to the script?

Alfonso, one of my most earliest memories was going to a high school in Riverside California where you were supposed to play in a celebrity basketball game against the faculty of the high school. You never showed up and my family and I were disappointed. Do you remember that night, and if so, why couldn't you make it?

Would you rather fight 100 duck sized Geoffrey's or 1 Geoffrey sized duck?

hey alfonso, what's the best trini thing you've learned or seen or eaten?

will this season of AFV feature more nut shots?

Favorite cereal?

Did you think that your character would be a hit long after Fresh Prince ended? What made you embrace that character after all these years? Fans love it!

Hi Alfonso! Have you ever gone out for a role you REALLY wanted and did not get? If so, which and why were you so interested? thanks!

What do you do to wind down at the end of the day or week? Video games? Booze? Cannabis? Massage parlor happy endings? Do you have a favorite way to chill out?

Do you ever put on Tom Jones and break out a Carlton when nobody is watching?

how much can you bench?

Hi Alfonso! I love to tap dance, and remember you being The Tap Dance Kid.

Who were your tap teachers? You clearly know your stuff, and I've always wondered.

How often do people ask you to dance?

Hi Alfonso I'm big fan of yours, and thanks for doing this AMA. My questions are: What is your favorite TV show to watch other than your own shows? and Who do you think is one of the top actors currently (tv or movie)?

Hi Alfonso! As the new host of AFV are you planning to keep Bergeron's style of one-liner humor when you narrate the videos? I've always found it alot more hilarious than Bob Saget's impersonations when he was host. Or do you plan on mixing it up and with your own style?

How's AFV working out? It a fun show to be a host for?
