Podcast appearances and mentions of Janet Hubert

Before he became a global box office superstar, Will Smith was a debt-ridden rapper given a shot at acting by Quincy Jones—and the result was one of the most iconic sitcoms of the 1990s. In this episode, we unpack the unlikely origin story of The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, from an impromptu audition at a house party to the creation of a cultural phenomenon that redefined what a Black-led sitcom could be. We take a look at the show's signature mix of humor and heart, exploring how the Banks family—Uncle Phil, Aunt Viv, Carlton, Hilary, Ashley, and Geoffrey—provided the perfect backdrop for Will's street-smart charm. But this wasn't just a fish-out-of-water comedy. The show cleverly tackled race, class, identity, and adolescence, offering both laughs and life lessons in equal measure. From Carlton's unforgettable dance moves to powerful storylines about absentee fathers and racial profiling, Fresh Prince blended silliness with substance in a way few shows managed. We revisit emotional highlights like “Papa's Got a Brand New Excuse,” and explore how James Avery's Uncle Phil became one of TV's most memorable father figures. We also dive into the real-life drama behind the scenes—including Janet Hubert's controversial departure as Aunt Viv—and discuss how the cast ultimately found reconciliation decades later. With insights into the show's impact, its long-running syndication success, and its bold 2022 reimagining Bel-Air, we explore why this series remains a cultural touchstone more than 30 years after its debut. Whether you watched it live on NBC or discovered it through streaming, The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air still has the power to make you laugh, cry, and sing along to that legendary theme tune. Join us as we look back at the show that took Will from West Philly to global fame—and changed the sitcom game forever.

Re-watching The Oscars with Janet Hubert and Iyanla...

Fresh out of NYU's Tisch Graduate Acting Program, she fulfilled her dream of working with both Denzel Washington, as his wife, and Spike Lee, in the hit film, "Inside Man". How?  You may wonder. By being herself.  And she's been on the inside of culture with successful shows as Luke Cage, Atlanta, and The Last O.G., and in films as Chris Rock's "I Think I Love My Wife" and more recently playing Mama Durant (Kevin Durant's mother) in "The Real MVP: The Wanda Durant Story". But she's best known for her current role on the hit show and remake, BEL-AIR as Vivian Banks aka "Aunt Viv" on Peacock. She's a lifelong dreamer and more importantly a manifestor, whose self-proclaimed purpose in life is to help people find their joy. And she's doing just that as she's fiercely reinventing the role of matriarch, a la Clair Huxtable or Aunt Viv 3.0, renewed for the 21st century... coloring her with some extra spice and that West Philly attitude in her own special way.  It is fitting exactly a year after Tori interviewed her own stepmother - Daphne Maxwell Reid (Aunt Viv 2.0) - that she connected her with Aunt Viv 3.0 for a fresh take on the re-imagination of Fresh Prince of Bel Air. Just who is the woman behind our latest "Aunt Viv?" Let's get the Inside track, and we use that word "inside" knowingly, on this powerful, every woman. Get ready for joy. "Here's to Life" welcomes the vivacious, refreshing, and joy-filled talent, who some call "Aunt Viv"... the beautiful Cassandra Freeman.“Who do you want to be? ... But is this who you actually are? If so, fine. But if not, choose differently. You have time.” - Cassandra Freeman as Aunt Viv (to Hilary)This episode on "Here's To Life":•  How she's made the role "Aunt Viv" her own and reinventing the matriarch•  What the show BEL-AIR means to her and their power of storytelling•  How African American Art came to play such a centric role in BEL AIR •  The mother and daughter dynamic in this new age•  Her respect and admiration for the original “Aunt Vivs” Daphne Maxwell Reid and Janet Hubert•  The serendipitous story of how she landed her first film role working with Denzel Washington and Spike Lee •  What her 3 year old is teaching her and how her unique parenting style informs her day-to-day life in the possibilities, potential and probabilities present in all of our lives•  What makes her feel the most alive •  Tori highlights Cassandra's powers and Cassandra returns with a clairvoyant revelation about Tori, and how each one of us has a blessed giftCREDITS:Guest:  Cassandra FreemanHost and Producer:  Tori ReidExecutive Producer:  Patrick A.

Ericka Nicole Malone continues to blaze a trail for women of color in the male-dominated entertainment industry with her combination of skills as an actress, writer, director and producer. Malone is well known for building complex, relatable characters, whether she is writing a play for the stage or a script for a television series. “As a writer, you don't just want to tell a story; you don't just want to tell an African American story; you want to tell a human story,” Malone said during a recent interview.

Her mother is a former actress and only has negative things to say about the industry. Ultimately, the tables turn, and the daughter must help her mother find her path in life again. - Malone wrote the script and serves as an executive producer with Phillip Robinson on Remember Me: The Mahalia Jackson Story, which promises to honor Jackson's legacy in Gospel Music, Civil Rights and as a shining example of a powerful Black woman. The movie features R&B recording artist Ledisi in the lead role. - Malone also serves as executive producer for the animated feature and future TV series JG and the BC Kids, written and created by acclaimed actress Janet Hubert. The story follows Janet Granite, aka JG, a super intelligent, athletic scientist and inventor who travels the world to find special kids.
