In the 80s I legit thought Alfonso was going to be “the next big thing” due to his amazing dance and singing skills. Then he faded away only to reappear in the 90s as nerdy Carlton Banks on Fresh Prince. Dude was fire in the 80s with his moves.
He was just very picky with his roles
@@reviewsdunn5542 It was so weird though. In 1985 this guy was "so cool, so bad ass". Then in 1993 it's like "Carlton, what a dork"
Truly talented
@@John-ct9zs and then he did that episode with Soul Train and it was like daaamn
Alfonso got the last laugh tho. He's making a living off the industry with show offers and host gigs
How did I live thru the actual entire 1980s and never see this?
RIP Shirley Hemphill.
Same
Because youtube wasn't a thing

Dumb thing to say. It was on tv back then, and he is wondering how he didn't see it when it aired.
1985, This is 5 years before he was Carlton on the fresh Prince of Bel Air!!!
I met him when he was Alfonso on Silver Spoons. He came to my school (Valley Presbyterian) for a play. I was in either 3rd or 4th grade and the year was either 1984 or 85.
And 6 years after Shirley Hemphill, was Shirley on What’s Happening!!
How does this magic video have only 7 comments? Have I reached the end of the internet?
Lol, people are busy with non sense
You brought upon the algorithm
Alfonso Ribeiro is so freakin talented
I did really reached the end of the Internet
😂😂
GO BACK TO GROVE STREET!!!!
Carl Johnson comment of the century, I will use it some day.
These were the days of alot of dancing having fun and being happy with each other RIP to shirley hemphill 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽👍👌
Imagine if Carlton became an MC. This is so what gave him inspiration to become C-Note
Shirley Hemphill brought me here.
Alfonso was always the better dancer out of him and Will.
Yes both have moves but Alfonso is the one with the best
Alfonso wearing a mini apron to hide his "assets"...😂
Michael delorenzo - actor./ancer from Fame tv series, New York Undercover, head of the Clas,s Beat it MJ video..
Omg!! Go Alfonso!!!
I know right 🤗👏👏👏👏👏🔥
ok
I remeber when this originally aired.They didn't bleep out any words back then.
Michael DiLorenzo (& Malik Yoba) = "New York Undercover"!😊
Bruh, that was my show every Thursday. I miss the 90's.
He had done "Fame" the tv show at the time & was in, MJ's, "Beat It".
The 80's seemed so normal while they were happening, but DAMN what a weird time it was!
Grandmaster flash is awesome rapper and dance ever
This was LIT!!!!!!! A real fantasmagorical treasure to behold
Sshirley Hemphill wow 💔💔💔 20 years since you leave this world..
She is the best comedy acto
How have I never seen this.
Now hes the master of Americas funniest videos!😊👍
Classe Alfonso. You deserve all the best
That was cool I thought Will Smith was the only rapper on the fresh prince of bel air
He was.
Who the fuck is rapping hes clearly dancing
Grandmaster Flash is the rapper, & DJ. He is DJing a remix BUT THAT'S THE MUSIC NOT THE PERFORMANCE Dance.Alfonso not A RAPPER @ ALL His big gig was when Alfonso danced as Broadways ' THE TAP DANCE KID IN THE'80's. Google research please.☺☺
@@jacobscopperfield7660 He is rapping! That is not Grandmaster flash rapping. It's his song though the lyrics have been changed
@@saphire543212 You need to do your research. It's Alfonso rapping on Grandmaster flash beat. He literally sounds like a 14 year old boy. Go and listen to the "The message" by Grandmaster flash again cause clearly you cannot discern the voice of a child compared to a grown man lol
C-Note!!
Michael Delorenzo dancing in the back.
Such a great dancer. Saludos desde Peru. We loved this artist.
This was very good seeing him dance he really singed good all thoes people haded great talent dancing.
Life always finds a way 😂
This was from the Debbie Allen produced tv special called “Dancing in the Wings”. It syndicated in 1985.
Not sure if anyone mentioned it but that’s Michael Delorenzo from New York Undercover dancing in the background
Esto merece ser viral
He can dance crazy
SUCH A TALENTED GUY! WOW! He was hilarious as Carlton and an amazing dancer in general, not just when he does the funny "white man" dance
Holy Shit.Is that Michael Delarenzo from New York Undercover fame facing with Alfonzo?
Oh my god, that is him!!!
Why do you call him a clown? The guy was awesome in the last season of Head of the Class.@@xtrmst_012
I remember everything from the 80s but have never seen this one
I dont remember this either but i do remember Alphonso from silver spoons. 😆
Haha I remember this like yesterday
his voice was slowly changing into carlton's
Is that the mother from My big fat greek wedding?
He went from this to the Carlton dance
Alfonso really missed an opportunity to do this on 'Fresh Prince'. Throw them off with the carlton, then suprise them with some old school break dancing.
Please watch "The Soul Train" Episode; also, watch when Will & Carlton pawned Vivian's jewelry.
The woman, who sang the hit "Ain't Nothin's Goin' on but the Rent", plays pawn shop owner.
The guy in the black shirt was in New York Undercover
Wooow real cool i never saw this before :)
Torres from New York Undercover!
Yo! Priceless 🔥🔥🔥
this is what you get for dancing with michael jackson in a commercial
MY MAN!
OH MY GOSH >>I USED TO THIN THIS GUY WAS THE BOMB!!!!!
The blonde guy in blue bumping into the wall at the very end...😅😅
😁😆🤣😁🤣😁🤣
Recovered real smooth too lol 😂
Producer : "There's this music that's really hot right now it's called Rapping or Rap or something, I think we should make an episode about it"
HE WAS FUNNY AS HELL AS CARLTON IN THE PRINCE OF BELLAIRE
🔥🔥🔥🏆🏆🏆
Michael DeLorenzo in the black
Haha! Cool.
AFV brought me here
Where the rest of his shirt?
Wow he really looks as Alfonzo/Carlton as a teen
That's HIM
Uh. That is Alfonso....
He's been on camera way before will smith
What TV show or special is this?
😂😂😂😂
1:15 on a loop
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Where am I?
Carlton?
I see Micheal Delarenzo on this clip
Yup Eddie Torres gettin his b-boy moves in
It's really strange coz if you take a look at all of Alonso's young videos ..he actually had a good height as a kid ..I would have thought that he would grow to be taller ..he has long slim legs ..i guess our body grows in different ways..I was really short as a kid shorter then my sis and suddenly one fine day I went to bed short and woke up tall ....suddenly I dint have to reach for the glass on the shelf it was in front of my face ..lol..weird
The original Chris Brown😂😂😂
Just do the Carlton dance
It’s so funny how they hired such a fantastic dancer to play Carlton, who dances like a complete goon.
Why the skirt though?
nothing wrong with it
It looks like an apron.
Carlton Banks and Shirley Wilson!!!
not like Carlton at all.
I thought he liked to sing and dance to Tom Jones? Lol
Alfonso doesn't; but Carlton does.
He was playing a part on the sitcom. Do you know that actors follow a script?
It's crazy that you people don't know that "lol" at the very least *suggests* that I may have been, oh I don't know... JOKING! Don't worry though, I'll forgive your douchebaggery. I understand not everyone has a sense of humor.

Alphonso was HOT, but his moonwalk sucks! Boy was he talented!
that was no moon walk at the end he has a really dope moonwalk actually czcams.com/video/a_LR379XNxs/video.html go to 0:36 on the link brother.

So gaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaai 🤡😂🤣
Oh my Lord. This is SO uncomfortable to watch.
@kersanthemum53 I've been gone a year. Read the room. clown. lol
This is Cringe. I remember the 80s we had to take what we could get. What's worse is this cam out 4 years after the song.
No its no. Grow up!
He skipped so many bars
Derrick Brice dead 1987 (aids)
