      Will Smith Has 'Fresh Prince of Bel-Air' Reunion on His Snapchat Show

      The ‘Men in Black’ actor reunites with his former co-stars including Alfonso Ribeiro and Tatyana Ali for the season finale of his Snapchat series ‘Will From Home’.
      Apr 30, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Will Smith has reunited with his co-stars from “The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air” for the season finale of his Snapchat isolation show.
      The superstar revisited the 1990s sitcom which turned him into a household name for “Will From Home”, reconnecting virtually with castmates Alfonso Ribeiro, DJ Jazzy Jeff, Tatyana Ali, Karyn Parsons, Daphne Maxwell Reid, and Joseph Marcell, who portrayed butler Geoffrey.
      In the first instalment of the two-part finale, which premiered on Wednesday, April 29, 2020, Smith recalled how Ribeiro, who played Carlton Banks, encouraged him to name his onscreen character after himself.

      Remembering the conversation, Smith told his old pal, “It was such a deep insight that you had. You said, ‘Because people are going to call you that for the rest of your life!’ ”
      Meanwhile, DJ Jazzy Jeff, who was also Smith’s musical partner, admitted there is only one downside to always being recognised as his character Jazz.
      “I got really, really annoyed that everybody wanted to do the handshake (his character shared with Smith onscreen),” the DJ said. “You would see in people’s eyes when they were about to sneak the handshake and I would just grab their hand and hold it. Besides that, I’m good!”
      The co-stars also expressed their relief at Jeff’s recovery after recently battling coronavirus symptoms, and took a moment to remember late TV patriarch James Avery, who was known for his role as Phillip Banks. He died in 2014.
      The second part of the final episode will debut on Snapchat on Thursday.
      The latest installment in the series can be viewed here.

      Will Smith Sits Down with Dr. Fauci to Clear Up Myths About Coronavirus

      The ‘Men in Black’ actor has landed an exclusive interview with the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, Dr. Anthony Fauci, for his new Snapchat series ‘Will From Home’.
      Apr 22, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Will Smith has landed a Snapchat exclusive with America’s coronavirus star Dr. Anthony Fauci.
      The director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases agreed to sit down with the movie star and discuss the ongoing pandemic with a view to clearing up some myths about COVID-19 for kids.
      Smith launched his 12-episode series, “Will From Home”, on Snapchat earlier this month, April 2020, and has so far hooked up with stars like Tyra Banks and members of the public who are also staying home due to social distancing guidelines.
      And, in his next broadcast, the “Men in Black” star will ask Dr. Fauci questions about the coronavirus he has received from kids.
      “There’s been a predominance in the African-American community. Is there a comprehension as to why that is?” he asks the medical expert in a teaser clip, prompting Fauci to respond, “It’s just one of the failings of our society… African-Americans have a disproportionate prevalence and incidence of the very co-morbid conditions that put you at high risk.”
      Meanwhile, one sweet young fan, called Ava, asked Fauci if the tooth fairy could catch the coronavirus, prompting the doctor to assure her that she didn’t need to worry about such things. Another fan also asked Fauci if she could go out for a walk.
      And there was a real lift for viewers as one teen user asked Fauci if COVID-19 was something she’d be fighting for the rest of her life.
      “When we have a vaccine and we have enough baseline immunity, this is not something you’re gonna have to worry about for the rest of your life,” he explained.
      “Will From Home” airs on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays on Snapchat.

      Apr 4, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Will Smith has teamed up with Snapchat to film his own series documenting his family and others’ time in self-isolation during the coronavirus pandemic.
      The new 12 episode series, “Will From Home”, launched on Snapchat on Friday, April 3, 2020, will feature the “Independence Day” star hanging out in his garage and home talking to his family, stars like Tyra Banks and members of the public who are also staying home due to social distancing measures.
      Snapchat’s head of original content Sean Mills tells The Hollywood Reporter that Will had the idea for the show as he felt creatively frustrated while cooped up at home like many other Americans.
      “Will was feeling a lot of pent up creative energy and was excited to do something with it in a new and different way,” Sean says.
      The actor and rapper has made shows for several online platforms including YouTube and Instagram, and also starred in “Will Smith’s Bucket List” for Facebook and will produce stand-up comedy show “This Joka” for Quibi.
      He is executive producing “This Joka”, which will feature stand-up shows from on-the-rise comedians and interviews conducted by Smith, alongside his wife, Jada Pinkett Smith – who also has her own successful Facebook Watch show “Red Table Talk”.
      “Will From Home” will air on Mondays, Fridays and Wednesdays.
