I guess it’s safe to say we will never see Madea heading to Bel Air anytime soon. In a recent interview with Closer Weekly, Alfonso Ribeiro discussed the sacrifices his acting career took after playing the iconic role of Carlton Banks on The Fresh Prince Of Bel Air:

“Playing Carlton on Fresh Prince became a sacrifice. I used to always say doing Carlton was the greatest and worst thing that ever happened to me. It was one of the greatest roles that I ever was fortunate enough to play, but it was also the role that stopped me from acting again because people couldn’t see me as anything else. The sacrifice was not having an acting career anymore.”

Since the interview, the internet has weighed in on this with different takes even offering solutions like to work with Tyler Perry.

Nice in theory but Ribeiro who currently co-hosts Dancing With The Stars with Julianne Hough and hosts America’s Funniest Home Videos doesn’t really need work.

You smell that? Smells like beef to me. Now Tyler Perry’s work isn’t the most high brow comedies but it has gone gross over a billion dollars in movies alone and that’s not counting the live theater shows and tv shows. Ribeiro should know this because he did directed 8 episodes of Meet the Browns . So what could the issues be? First we had Kat Williams calling out comedy, the epic battle between Kendrick & Drake and now we have Carlton Banks vs. Madea. I would say Carlton should call Will but I know he is trying to lay low after his beef with Chris Rock. 2024 seems to be the year where all issues are coming to the forefront so let’s stay plugged into this developing situation. I’ll practice doing the Carlton dance so I can stay on his good side.

5 Of The Most Rewatchable Movies, No Matter What Mood You're In

  • Jurassic Park

    Henry Wu: You’re implying that a group composed entirely of female animals will… breed?

    Dr. Ian Malcolm: No. I’m, I’m simply saying that life, uh… finds a way.

    Iconic. So good that we keep getting these movies. I mean Dinosaurs revolting against being in an Amusement Park is so simple it will always work and be watchable.

  • Dodgeball: A True Underdog Story

    White Goodman: Go ahead, make your jokes, Mr. Jokey… Joke-maker. But let me hit you with some knowledge. Quit now. Save yourself the embarrassment of losing with these losers in Las Vegas, La Fleur.

    Peter La Fleur: Alliteration aside, I’ll take my chances in the tournament. White Goodman: Yeah, you will take your chances.

    Peter La Fleur: I know. I just said that.

    White Goodman: I know you just said that.

    Peter La Fleur: Okay, I’m not sure where you’re going with this.

    White Goodman: Well, I’m not sure where *you’re* going with this.

    Peter La Fleur: That’s what I said.

    White Goodman: That’s what I’m saying to *you*.

    Peter La Fleur: All right.

    White Goodman: …Touché.

    Enough said.

  • Friday

    Mr. Jones: This is what makes you a man. When I was growin’ up, this was all the protection we needed. You win some, you lose some, but you live. You live to fight another day. And you think you’re a man with that gun in your hand, don’t you?

    Hilarious iconic movie but this line really hit me. R.I.P. John Witherspoon!

  • The Godfather Trailer

    Don Corleone: I hope you don’t mind the way I keep going over this Barzini business.

    Michael: No, not at all.

    Don Corleone: It’s an old habit. I spent my whole life trying not to be careless. Women and children can afford to be careless, but not men.

    Had an overwhelming amount of people list this movie which is crazy because of how long they were but….I get it.

     

  • The Temptations

    David Ruffin: I’m the one sellin’ the records. They’re comin’ to see me.

    Otis Williams: They’re comin’ to see the Temptations.

    David Ruffin: Ain’t nobody comin’ to see you, Otis! You wish you could work it the way I do, but you can’t! Because there is only one David Ruffin. And without him, the Temps ain’t nothin’ but a group in SEARCH of a David Ruffin. Matter of fact, I been thinkin’. We should call the group David Ruffin And The Temptations. Yeah, that sound good to me. Y’all beggin’ me not to leave you. [sings]

    David Ruffin: “And I refuse to let you go.” Yeah, David Ruffin And The Temptations. Whatcha think? Otis Williams: That ain’t never gonna happen.

    This is an iconic movie for every black household. A mini-series/tv movie. We had the video tape and watched it so many times. Severely underrated.
