It's not that uncommon. When shows film close to one another, some actors make uncredited brief cameos or appearances in production (doesn't make final cut for obvious legal reasons). Example: when Smallville was on and Supernatutal was still going, one take of Sam and Dean (Jared Padalecki and Jensen Ackles) was them getting out of the car with Tom Welling suddenly popping out of the car too
Remember how he managed to keep a straight face when Will Smith went all 'Dream Girls' on him sing "And I am Telling You"? LOL That's impossible for any ordinary person to do.
I'm guessing it was a surprise to everyone because the look on Reginald's face was telling! Imagine the crossover between the two shows, Uncle Phil having to deal with Steve would have been ratings gold!
A little inside joke was the actor who plays little G appeared a year earlier in an episode of Fresh Prince 3.2 Will Get Committed aired on 9/21/92 and Hector says to Phil “aren’t you the guy from Family Matters” a reference to Reginald VelJohnson.

Carl Winslow and Uncle Phil had just as much of an impact on reinforcing the morals and values my father taught me in my childhood as Captain Jean Luc Picard or Tim the Tool Man Taylor did.
color was never even a thought. it was GOOD TV... back then. sad they cant make it like this again. those two are legends. and as a kid who didnt have a dad i can absolutely say i enjoyed both
The ABC producers originally had James Avery in mind to play Carl's oldest brother, Darryl, in a recurring role as a judge from out of state. The creators had him gregarious, laid back and a practical jokester who loves playing pranks on Carl. This could possibly explain the origins of Eddie's prankster streak aside being friends with Rodney. Unfortunately due to Avery's commitment on NBC's The Fresh Prince of Bel Air, he was unable to appear as Darryl.
Right? Imagine Carl dealing with Will and him giving the classic "Oh no😫" and simply remarking "Oh Lord. There are two of them" when Will hangs with Eddie. Or Uncle Phil throwing Steve out with Jaleels high pitch "WHOOOAA" 😂😂😂
The producers had planned for Avery to appear as Carl's older brother, Darryl, in season 1's The Party and make recurring appearances. Like Phil, he's a judge who lives out of state. However, he lives in California, while Darryl lives in Indiana. Unlike Phil, he has a sense of humor and roasted Carl a few times before with his own jokes. This plan fell apart once The Fresh Prince of Bel Air aired.
I remember watching this when I was a kid such a great surprise. Too bad they were on competing networks. I feel like they would’ve done a crossover. Family matters did crossovers with just about every show on the TGIF line up back then
A missed opportunity to have the Banks family meet the Winslows it would have been one hell of a crossover, I think Steve guest stared on Fresh Prince but he played a different character but it would have been awesome to see who would get along with each other, in the immortal words of Will Smith " Da well"
To james avery as Philip banks and reginald veljohnson as carl Winslow 2 of TV best father's ever 2 of tv best sitcoms ever to the actors and actresses who passed away my thoughts are with your family you may be gone but not forgotten still going strong keep the laughs and videos coming appreciate the memories and a good laugh old is pure gold very impressed way to go !!! Joe
The scene made perfect: Urkel shows up, says nothing. Uncle Phil looks at Carl Scene cuts to side view of the Winslow front door. Urkel comes flying out. "AAAAH" And scene.
Will Smith once said "James Avery was this six-foot-four, 300-pound stage-trained Shakespearean beast and I'm the little rapper from Philly under him". ... I think his weight fluctuated over the years but at his heaviest at times in Bel Air I could believe he was nearer 350 pounds.
If only Sitcom in the 1990s was like WWF Vs WCW Type style. Imagine Uncle Phil literally showing up on Family Matters and then Carl Joined Fresh Prince of Bel Air. I would of love to see a Collab Episode with these 2.
Carl Winslow and Phillip Banks-the real LAW AND ORDER
Yoooo! 😂😂😂
Haha, yesssss!!!!!
Dung Dung
That should have been a show
No. Show some respect man. It’s Judge Philip Banks and Captain Carl Winslow.
I love how James doesn’t even say anything and the studio audience goes nuts. Absolute legend.
Classic 😁👍👍
James: Looking for WILL!? For slapping someone!?
He wasn't looking for Will, he was looking for Jazz
You must've been living under a rock because shows did that for everyone's entrances in the 90's 🙄🤦🏽♂️.
@@trigfizzle6876Who cares if it's scripted? Doesn't mean an actual live audience wouldn't go wild
Two of the greatest sitcom dads to ever grace our television set...RIP James Avery you are surely missed.
Also The dad from boy meets world is the best
I couldn't agree more bro. Good role models. We need father figures like them in this new gen 2022.
Bill Cosby?
Not as great as mr moseby
@@nyresolution1393 James Evans beats them all!
I'm guessing this wasn't scripted because I can tell Reginald was genuinely surprised 😂
that might be the best part of this.

@@crazyman7671 Right like when Queen Latifah came on shark tank.
@@crazyman7671 like Robin Williams and Billy Crystal popping up on Friends
The Judge meets The Officer
Yep.
Two of the most powerful characters on television
Lil g was on the cosby show and fresh prince too.
That would've been the perfect title. The Winslow's vacation in Bel-Air. Three episodes series.
How has there never been a crossover
This was like Batman vs Superman for sitcom dads.
You know Uncle Phil would've had to have been Batman as rich as he was lol.
🤚
😂😂😂😂😂 good one
@@cainb4059 And with some help from his butler
@@rowdyroughman lol
This just goes to show that Uncle Phil had mythical powers that allowed him to cross over into any universe of his choosing.
He learned it from Krang, in the X Dimension
All that lawyer money lol
neh, just the sets of both these shows were close together, where JA could walk over for that special cameo.
I wish those mythical powers could make him cross back over into this universe again.
Shredder was amazing 🫵🏽😂
“Let me say my line!” I guess we’ll never know what that line was. RIP James Avery
Carl said that
He was supposed to say something along the lines of, "No he doesn't!"
YES❤❤❤❤😢
Reggie said that.
James's ability to keep a straight face here is just pure GOLD
Remember how he managed to keep a straight face when Will Smith went all 'Dream Girls' on him sing "And I am Telling You"? LOL That's impossible for any ordinary person to do.
I love how James Avery doesn't break character until the hug
I'm guessing it was a surprise to everyone because the look on Reginald's face was telling! Imagine the crossover between the two shows, Uncle Phil having to deal with Steve would have been ratings gold!
Facts. Lot of missed opportunities back then, STEVE could've been on an episode or two of the FRESH PRINCE and vice versa
He was in one, but not as Steve...he played Ashley's boyfriend
He went to FULL HOUSE tho
Knowing Uncle Phil, he'd toss him out faster than he tosses out Jazz. Wouldn't even bother with the Go Home, Go Home, Go Home banishment chant.
Man what!? That would have been crazy! Or even if all the Black sitcom Dad's came and crossed over, like Urkel had a brief appreance on Full House
A little inside joke was the actor who plays little G appeared a year earlier in an episode of Fresh Prince 3.2 Will Get Committed aired on 9/21/92 and Hector says to Phil “aren’t you the guy from Family Matters” a reference to Reginald VelJohnson.
I have forgotten about that. I remember it now that you mentioned it. I'll have to see that again. It's been a while.
I didn't know that 😂 Thank you providing context here.
That hug..... man that hug.... all of planet earth felt that
Just the real ones though
The rest of them joined a cult
Looking back, this was a very iconic scene.
It really was
ALWAYS HAS BEEN
That was such a wholesome moment. His face was priceless 😂
What’s even funnier is that there’s a joke in a Fresh Prince Episode where they say Uncle Phil looks like Carl Winslow.
Carl reaction was priceless....Two of the best of the best TV dads that ever did it...Continue to Rest Easy Mr Avery
The difference is Uncle Phil is a father in real life and Carl Winslow is not a father in real life.
@@hectorlopez1069 On a technical level, James Avery was a step father, but he never had biological children of his own.
RIP James Avery and Michelle Thomas
@@youtubeillegallydeletesacc1525 God bless you. You must be a strong person and a heck of a fighter to survive that. So glad to hear you made it through. 🙏🏾💕
Black or white, kids today could use a lot more fathers like these two as role models.
I had a friend who would watch Fresh Prince. He didn't have a father in his life so he looked up to Uncle Phil as a father figure.
Absolutely!
Amen man the world would be a better place.
Carl Winslow and Uncle Phil had just as much of an impact on reinforcing the morals and values my father taught me in my childhood as Captain Jean Luc Picard or Tim the Tool Man Taylor did.
color was never even a thought. it was GOOD TV... back then. sad they cant make it like this again. those two are legends. and as a kid who didnt have a dad i can absolutely say i enjoyed both
That was beautiful of Uncle Phil, making an appearance on the end credits of Family Matters. Rest in peace Uncle Phil
@@youtubeillegallydeletesacc1525 I know that. I just call him uncle Phil.

The man from the fresh prince

James Avery did that pose quite often on Fresh Prince as Uncle Phil 😂😂😂
especially dealing wit his" nephew by marriage" 😂
Two of the best TV dads...PERIOD!!
And John Amos from Good Times
This scene was iconic two of the best T.V. dad's of the 90s R.I.P. James Avery 🙏🏾❤️
They way his mouth drop just heartwarming first thing first rest in peace Uncle Phill James Avery
Steve and Carlton definitely should have did at least one episode together
The Urkel Vs. The Carlton, that would be a sight to behold…
Well Jaleel White did guest start on an episode of Fresh Prince but as a boyfriend to Ashley. Jaleel’s character was actually annoyed by Carlton. 😆
@@youtubeillegallydeletesacc1525 was talking about dances lol
That would’ve been epic.
They did play in a celebrity game during all-star weekend
Reginald’s reaction is priceless! You can tell he had no idea James was going to walk through that door.😂
Many special guest walked through that door.
@@hectorlopez1069 oh for sure! I wanted to walk through that door so bad as a kid!
The look on Reginald VelJohnson's face at 0:26 is priceless. One of Family Matters' funniest moments.
If it wasn't for copyright and licensing issues, I would love to have seen a Family Matters and Fresh Prince crossover.
Right? Imagine Carl dealing with Will and him giving the classic "Oh no😫" and simply remarking "Oh Lord. There are two of them" when Will hangs with Eddie.
Or Uncle Phil throwing Steve out with Jaleels high pitch "WHOOOAA" 😂😂😂
James Avery walks into a completely different show, and the lead character of the show going on claps for him, absolutely amazing.

However, he lives in California, while Darryl lives in Indiana. Unlike Phil, he has a sense of humor and roasted Carl a few times before with his own jokes.

And he stepped backwards while doing it..I’m glad I was raised by the boomers.

I didn't realize until now how tall Avery was. He was a giant compared to Johnson!
@@youtubeillegallydeletesacc1525 never paid much attention to Fresh Prince.
That’s because In Fresh Prince Will was pretty tall but and he stood beside Uncle Phil he’d look short
All the better that Uncle Phil is a judge.
I remember watching this when I was a kid such a great surprise. Too bad they were on competing networks. I feel like they would’ve done a crossover. Family matters did crossovers with just about every show on the TGIF line up back then
I can watch this a million times.
This was pure gold in television history
RIP James Avery. You are missed every day. Uncle Phil and Carl Winslow are my favorite TV dads!
Reginald Veljohnson's reaction when James Avery walked in 💀😂 priceless R.I.P uncle phil
Two of the best father figures on TV, hands down, without question. Taught us so many valuable life lessons. Miss those days.
Rest in Peace, Uncle Phil. We miss you, man! ❤
Now this is classic that was nothing but love Carl had to run off screen because he had that much respect for James Avery
Truly a priceless television moment.
Yes and now that he is gone it's more emotional 😢 they respected him so much. Reginald ran off screen now that's love and respect
Two greatest TV dads of all time. Man didn’t say a word and the crowd gave him one hell of an ovation. RIP James Avery.
Two great dads this is what is needed in every black household!!!!!! Strong upstanding leading black man.
The 2 father sitcom titans
The eternal uncle phil
This is one of the greatest moments in tv history.
Top 2 sitcoms dads of all time
And uncles
These were the dads for those of us without dads!!!
A missed opportunity to have the Banks family meet the Winslows it would have been one hell of a crossover, I think Steve guest stared on Fresh Prince but he played a different character but it would have been awesome to see who would get along with each other, in the immortal words of Will Smith " Da well"
The shows were on two different networks (ABC & NBC).
@@BronchoKyle I know, but you have to admit it would have been an interesting episode
I don't think Jaleel White ever guest starred on Fresh Prince....Kadeem Hardison and Malcolm Jamal Warner did though
@@dragonchr15 he did in fact, guest star… he played ashley boyfriend in older ages.
@@dragonchr15 He did as Ashles teenage boyfriend and they were talking about having sex for the first time and Will and Carlton were not having it 🤣

My two favorite sitcom dads
My 2 favorite TV dads
I watch this clip every few months as it pops up in my feed. It never fails to make me smile.
I remember that episode 😂 one of the greatest of all time
You have to understand how amazing it was back in the day to have this cross over, even if it was just for a few seconds.
When I need an uplift, I watch this clip. Two of the best TV dads/uncles.
The scene made perfect:
Urkel shows up, says nothing.
Uncle Phil looks at Carl
Scene cuts to side view of the Winslow front door.
Urkel comes flying out. "AAAAH"
And scene.
Two of the most iconic and greatest black tv dads EVER!
I had no idea James Avery made a cameo in this show. I was expecting him to speak in his Shredder voice for a second.
0:46 The Announcer Says Ladies & Gentlemen James Avery & The Audience Applause & Cheers For James Avery
I remember being a kid and seeing this and it just being so surreal seeing Uncle Phil on Family Matters lol.
I could’ve easily seen these two in a 2000’s sitcom playing wise, value teaching grandfathers.
Such wonderful father figures. ❤
First time I ever saw this happen on tv, I absolutely lost it in laughing. 🤣
This is, hands down, one of the BEST moments in TV history.
I remember watching this when it first aired... was awesome. Brings a tear to my eye.
Definitely two of the greatest sitcom dads. RIP Mr. Avery
If they did the fusion dance they would have become the ultimate dad
R.i.p and respect to james avery best cameo ever
This clip always brings a smile to my face.
Man that’s a classic scene. God bless the dead, James Avery legend
that was a fun surprise for him and me😊. rest in peace, james avery🕊
Carl and Uncle Phil the real Law and Order lmao
The two TV dads that defined the 90's unite. Greatest crossover ever!
Reginald and James…a true American hero.😊
Marvel: Infinity War is the most ambitious crossover event in history.

Rest In Peace James Avery.

I like how Uncle Phil just suddenly teleports in when mentioned.
One of the greatest moments in TV history was the Surprise of James Avery coming to Family Matters TV set
Closest thing to a blooper that we’ll ever get on this show. I doubt any gag reels will ever see the light of day. I LOVE how RVJ broke up laughing!
best blooper in the history of TV

Uncle phil, carl, and mr tanner....best tv dads of my generation
I’m glad I was born at the right time to watch both of those shows during high school….
What it would have been like to be in the audience for that one. What a great moment in TV history.
Even though I was born in 95 , I miss it.
The prospect of a Fresh Prince/Family Matters crossover is so intriguing
Jaleel white was on an episode of fresh prince
@@youtubeillegallydeletesacc1525 I wouldn't know. 🤷
I love when tv shows break the 4th wall!
When Cop meets the Judge, such an amazing cameo even if this was just an ending scene or a hidden part of Family Matters!
