Alfonso Ribeiro On Why Will Smith's Friendship Means More Than Movie Roles | Sway's Universe 

I'm so glad that Will & Alfonso stayed right after Fresh Prince. That's incredible. True brothers on and off screen.

"Friends don't owe! They do because they wanna do!"--Rocky Balboa Alfonso nailed it. No one owes you anything.

on the Will Smith thing Alfonso's replied like a real man should

Alfonso ribeiro Minute 7:48" "you need to learn how you learn, and then you can simplify how to learn something, once you understand how your brain works" ..... well said!

I have so much respect for Alfonso.

talk on will smith starts at 19:53

Alfonso is a real ass dude. I wish he had more TV or movie roles.

Alfonso Ribeiro kept it all the way 100%

Alfonso is just soo on point here about work ethic and self reliance, self responsibility, not leeching on the back of others. Soo much respect for him.

Excellent discussion about the importance of knowing one's learning style. A lot of people are told they are not smart when really they are not being taught in their primary learning style.

Alfonso responded like a true friend and a grown azz man

No matter what, i will always know him as Carlton.

True shit!!! Everybody asking for hand outs, nobody wants to put in the work

I love that they played Billie Jean when Michael's name was mentioned and everyone just stopped talking for two seconds and felt that beat. THAT'S respect to the King of Pop right there. #LOVEYOUMJ #LOVEYOUCARLTON

If I could like this twice, I would.

I met him in Hawaii back in 1989 gave and him props for his Pepsi commercial with Michael Jackson (at that time I was impersonating Michael Jackson at The Hilton Hawaiian Village and Cilly's Night Club where he was that night) and I asked him what was new with him. He told me he was really excited about a show he just auditioned for and was now a part of. I congratulated him and said, "I looked forward to seeing it man!". He humbly said thanks and, "I've got a feeling it is gonna be a really great show.... At least I hope it is. But I've got a really good feeling about it". And of course, he was right! lol. More than he could have probably ever imagined. Great seeing he's still positive and productive using his gifts and talents and sharing his wisdom with us after all these years. Salute!

he is so well spoken

I will never underestimate this dude's knowledge ever again. All the gems that he dropped. He is truly Hollywood royalty. I wish this interview were longer!

I love him and his view on friendship verses favors. #respek

Much respect for how he answered the Will question.

As a public school teacher I’m very glad he talked about the different learning styles that people use.

"You need to learn HOW you learn". Hands down to that line right there 👌

Alphonso has a very mature perspective on a lot of things...it's refreshing to see that..he seems like a cool dude which is kind of rare in Hollywood

Now we can see why he’s been able to grow up in Hollywood and never be involved with a scandal.......he’s had great parents and real friends.........very rare in that environment. Wish him a long and prosperous life. Peace

Alfonso- Legend! Even more so than Will. Alot of people don't realize it or won't acknowledge. But he is.

I'm happy that Alfonso is getting the all the push he deserves

Wow I'm blown away! That was such an amazing interview

Alfonso is so positively real....no wonder why he doesn't get older.

Why hating ass Hubert got her 6 family members to dislike this video? 😂

Alfonso has a great radio host voice. He should consider that field later in his entertainment career.

Black people tend to criticize black men that act like him, but he's seems to live a fun stress free life.

I have a photographic memory too. LIke the exact same way as Alfonso. I used to pass tests memorizing textbook pages. Finally, someone understands us lol

Alfonso was dropping gems, loved it!!

For those that don't know, Michael Peters was the gang leader in Michael Jackson's "Beat It" video.

He's underrated

Alfonso killed this interview. What he shared is invaluable. Much respect and success to him and his career!

Good dude, him as a kid in Micheal Jackson Pepsi commercial is legendary....

This was educational (learn how you learn), practical (work and succeed instead of expecting others to hand it to you), motivating, amusing and a great example of a positive interview experience. Alfonso is a class act.

Man this dude dropped some gems. The learning method was fascinating but when broke down how to steal a scene and stealing a scene back....that was definitely Insider secrets. And I've seen him on director credits for shows like all of is which was Will Smith show. So I think Will has helped in his own way.

So many people forget he was on Circus with the Stars and he did the trapeze. Then he won on Celebrity Duets years later. That was years before he was on DWTS. He has done so much in his lifetime and he is not even close to all his achievements yet. Those were just a brush of the surface.

Alfonso a cool dude, respect.

Carlton was iconic, which is amazing considering the brief must have just been "Play a dorky white guy". Instead he became a treasured and much loved character, and that can only attributed to Riberiro's fine performance.

I like Alfonso. Good guy.

Alfonso sayin "uhhh" when Sway mentioned Master P. That's how you end a show. Lol

Im glad he said what he said do the work and stop asking for handouts I'm glad he answered the way he did black people, let's stand up and do our work.

You never saw the "Apache (Jump on it)" dance scene from Fresh Prince??! "HOW SWAY?!! HOW?!!" 🤔

him and will smith talk exactly alike...

Thumbs up 👍🏿 to Alfonso on his friendship with Will. Sounds like they have a great one

Surprisingly great interview. I would even say that this is one of the best interviews that I've seen on sway in a long time.

he needs his own show!

Loved every second of this interview, Alfonso dropping serious knowledge. Truly appreciated his take on discovering how you learn best, we don't stress that enough as a society.

He was talking to Janet Hubert with that speech. Straight checkin' her, too.

Alfonso is brilliant.

Alfonso should become a life coach, this interview is going to make me reevaluate certain aspects of myself.

he's such a genuine guy

he's such a cool dude. ❤💚💜💙💛

I want Alfonso to be my friend. Respect brutha!!

Learn how you learn. What a jewel of how you thinking works.

Love the convo on learning styles. I am a repetition learner as well. It always fascinates me to hear of other learning styles.

The convo about stealing scenes and blocking the attempted stealing of scenes while acting had me DYING laughin 😂😂😂

CAN you imagine carlton in bad boys instead of Martin Lawrence? Lmao

What an amazing interview way to go Sway and Alfonso still killing it

I wish I had teachers growing up that had Alfonso's open-minded attitude about learning. We all learn in different ways and it really stunts kids educational growth when they are forced into a box that doesn't work for them. If my mom wasn't an educator I don't know what I would have done!

He could be a great replacement for Michael Strahan On Live !

love this interview

He's Kool as hell

His response was really good.

I liked him before, but I think I have fallen in love with Alfonso now. Thanks guys.

I am old, I remember Silver spoons

inspiring comment on friendship and achieving your goals. truly wise thoughts

This was the best interview on sway thus far. Thank you.

DOWN.....TO.....EARTH!!! Love this interview. Very profound individual. Salute!!!

Great interview. Much Respect for Alfonso.

I knew Alfonso was a genius......#WizeCounselor

That was an awesome interview and truly great words of wisdom! Thank you Alfonso!

How can you dislike this, its just insane. Im having a serious problem with my school and bad grades and this video TOTALLY made me forget about it until the video finished and i started writing this 100% honest. This man Alfonso is a one of a kind genius. His kids are VERY lucky, hope he continues what he does.

I just realized I have a photographic memory. What a great conversation. :)

What a great interview and the dance scene, in the end, was great.

LOVE THIS DUDE. Very mature and wise way to answer the Will Question. Just hope the best for you Alfonso.

Yooooooo great interview!! I am in tears with the Apache dance. Hysterical!

He is the image that young black men need more of

Wow i just learned how to study, thank you Alfonso

This flowed really good Sway and Heather. Thank you for being gracious host. Thank you Alfonso for knowing how to do you and keeping it on GO.

Alfonso should be teaching a class in Hollywood, on how to do this celebrity thing. He is interesting , grounded and seems like a really good dude!

Damn this was a great vid!

I'd like to see him make a come back in a comedy movie that would be dope

This was awesome. Thanks so much for posting.I really enjoyed it.

the Best!!! loved this interview!! love y'all sway

Alfonso trying to not fuck up his waves with the headphones 🐵🌺

I used to write about Alfonso in my diary!! We are all in the same age "bracket" lol!!! I still love him. Thanks for doing this interview!!!

SWAYYYY this was one of the best interviews EVEEEERRRR! Alfonso rocks.

This was a 5⭐️ interview!!👌🏽👍🏽👍🏽

carlton is up there kicking knowledge sounding like neil degrasse tyson and shit..

I see Alfonso pulling of a great villain or gangster in some movie :D

Alfonso seems like a genuine cool dude, it's good to see people like him being himself, I liked what he said about Will Smith and how he did not expect the help to get it yourself. A lot of people are like that wanting help and hating on others for not giving, great interview.

Alfonso is golden. He speaks his mind and is very intelligent, he is making me second think about the way I learn things.

I like Alfonzo's true speaking voice. And I thank the female co-hosting the show for bringing up LL Cool J and how they tried to make him like Will (albeit lighter in humor and slapstick).

fantastic interview

Respect to Alfonso! He holds it down for himself and his friends. He’s a solid person!

Okay okay. Definitely one of the best interviews ever. Intellectual, funny, on point. Surprisingly one of the realest.
