Now this is a story all about how... NBC took a chance on about the surest thing imaginable, Will Smith. In our latest episode, Kate and Allison are joined by @BravoWhileBlack's Kaya Wilson to talk about the origins of 'The Fresh Prince Of Bel-Air,' why it terrified studio executives, and just how easy it was to write one of the most iconic theme songs ever created. Plus, fun facts about Will's girlfriends and Geoffrey, and why Allison feels particularly haunted by the Carlton Dance.
