My sister went to law school in her late thirties. She is now in the Massachusetts House of Representatives. It’s never too late.
Congratulations to her! That is amazing!
Woah, that's amazing!
Congratulations to her!! I am so glad to hear that because I'm in my late 30s and I want to go back to school but thought I was to old..
@@lynettemetcalf3745 *GO! I’m 33 and will be graduating in December at 34! It’s NEVER EVER TOO LATE! As long as you’re alive, strive!! If it’s something you REALLY want to do, DO IT! The time is going to go by anyway!! YOU CAN DO IT!!*
Congratulations to her but in your thirties is not old or late in life.
This Aunt Viv was realistic, ambitious, career oriented,class and sass. The replacement just seemed like her WHOLE identity was being a wife.
Exactly👍🏾👍🏾
I loved this Aunt Viv
Yeah I loved This one
Unfortunately they replace her with that woman that not even looks like her ! 🤔
Let me guess, colorism...
agree
I love the original aunt Viv, she had power in her speech, she actually had important things to say, not to give anything away to her replacement but when most people think of aunt Viv this is her.
THIS Aunt Viv, one of the most regal depictions of a black woman ever witnessed on television
Clair Huxtable?
@@RenGib123 he said one of
Which according to many is the reason she had to go.
@@orlandob9958 i believe it
I hear you, but you must not have seen Ertha Kitt and Dianne Carroll.
Only THIS Aunt Viv can have such a powerful scene and it can move an audience. Janet Hubert was the BEST!! She always will be the TRUE Aunt Vivian.
She was great as aunt Viv but was too much of a Diva off screen and hard choices had to be made.
Damn straight
I heard it was bc of will
Word 👏
It's too bad to.
Someone....PUHLEEZE...give Janet a new show!!! She deserves it.
No, she doesn't... she's ungrateful and disrespectful.. If she wants another show, she needs to create it herself.. No one will work with her because of her attitude.
@@KtotheG Well...you're entitled to your opinion. But now that we know the truth behind the curtain about what happened between her and Will Smith....FROM THEIR OWN MOUTHS....🤨...and the unfair responses from a public who chose to take sides(me being one of them 🙄)...I think her "attitude", "Ungratefulness"....etc.. is warranted. JMO.
@@Joe161964 Hollywood is politics. If she wants favors, she has to play nice.. If she doesn't want to do that, then she needs F.U. money and to do her own thing. It's that simple. No one owes her anything.
@@KtotheG this is exactly why politics are changing and men like will skith are being condemned. She did not have an attitude there was a rumor about that. Your old generation ways, calling it "politics' is dying. Really it's just an excuse to be an abusive prick.
@@KtotheG she should be grateful? For what? They were paying her pennies.
She was THE BEST Aunt Viv. Daphne Reid could give as much class- but NEVER as much sass as Janet Hubert.
She gave class, sass and humor also she was way more well rounded than the newer aunt Viv
Would you blame the studio on why they replace Aunt Viv?
I got nothing against Janet (She was pretty good), but the thing is Janet was the very reason on why she was replaced.
@@Albino_Wolf did you see the interview that her and will did when he admitted that he was in the wrong..
@@Mickeii617 I saw the interview and I'm glad they both bury the hatchet. But even if Will said terrible things to her and even if she was having a lot of conflicts both career and personal, the truth is that she brought this to herself. I'm not picking sides on anyone, and I understand that the rest of the cast weren't a saints either. But the thing is that nobody forced her to do anything, she got the free will to leave if she wanted to. But she brought her personal problems to the studio and he producers didn't have another choice but fire her.
Amen 😎
OG Aunt Viv was classy, educated and a strong dark skin coloured woman. What a wonderful role model
Having dark skin has nothing to do with being strong.
Tv mothers raise generations..we all lost as a society when she got kicked off the show
She's not coloured/colored. She's a Foundational Afro-American/Foundational Black American. Coloured/colored is a white supremacist word.
@@KB-nz6bv The reason that he refers to her complexion/skin hue is because Dark Skin is ostracized, demonized, and dehumanized along with the people who have it. Also, Light Skin is aggrandized over Dark Skin because of a Eurocentric standard of beauty that is false.
Stop being so color-struck... Damn... everywhere I go, y'all are always reducing people to their skin color..
"And honey, if you wonder why, I seem to fit so well here is; because I worked damn hard to get here, and I know I deserve it!"
Both in words and in delivery... worthwhile taking notes of.
“It took me years to get back.” That hit my soul. 😭😭😭😭
“You did what?” THE WAY SHE SNATCHED THIS SCENE RIGHT OUT OF THE GATE! Jasmine is absolutely underrated in terms of acting outside of A Different World. She’s phenomenal.
Omg I was looking for this comment. Jasmine Guy is good for a powerful monologue. Such an amazing actress!
I love Jasmine Guy I was so excited when I seen her visiting my church about 6 years ago😄
@@crystalcrawford1989 Jasmine Guy cane to your church 🤗 I would die
She's also down to earth, relatable, and wise. A true class act.
@@afronerderican3529 I agree. I listened to her in an interview once and from what she said Hollywood kinda took its toll on her. She does a lot of plays now and at one time she said she helped her sister at her dance studio.
Now this scene is just ONE example of why THIS Aunt Viv was the BEST.
Also the dance scene
Sam Brooks I love that scene.
Facts, new aunt Viv could neva
Honey Janet DELIVERED in this scene.

Hkoakoq,oo,,oa,oq,💚koa,,oa,,ooa,oooq oo,qkoq,,oa,k,ao,
The 1st Aunt Viv just hit different. After years of literally seeing all the episodes hundreds of times her performances can still elicit an emotionally charged thought provoking tear..
Jasmine Guy will forever be a favorite of mine. From A Different World to School Daze, she’s great.
She sounds so weird without her "Whitley Gilbert" accent lol
Ebony Taylor because she's not playing Whitley Gilbert. She's playing a completely different charater.
I know
I know. I was like "this is soooooo different "
I still hear it.
Facts. She may not be using the accent but she sort of sounds like Whitley even here
Omg I look at Jasmine and just think of her saying "Dwaaaayne" lol
Lol.
She played the heck out of that role. She made it iconic.
Same lol 😂
Me too🤣🤣🤣 A Different World was my show!
@@niquasonice8375 that show was ahead of its time. Debbie Allen knew what she was doing as producer and director and Bill Cosby I think was a producer of the show as well.
vivians outfit is stunning
TXejas19 TXejas19 She was always showing out 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾❤️
“I didn’t know Aunt Viv cleaned hotel rooms..How come she never cleaned my room?”
That's still one of my favorites lines. Also Nice Champion😬 "Real Deal Holyfield" 🤣
🤣🤣🤣🤣
😂😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤦🏿♀️
🤣🤣🤣
Aunt Viv STAYED sharp!😍
Yes indeed.
Vivian Banks-Fresh Prince of Bel air
Clair Huxtable-The COSBY show
Florida Evans-Good Times.
Harriet Winslow-Family Matters
These four women are the reminders of my late mother. Which made them my favorites..
Notice all three were Married and there men were realistic.
Scratch Florida Evans. She held her family back more ofwthan not.
Scratch Florida Evan's. When she esteemed the white Jesus over the Black Jesus she lost me then.
@@j.smith1631
Dont forget about Harriet Winslow..
Florida pissed me off At times lol
The fashion!!! Aunt Viv had was impeccable
Vivian Banks might very well be the best TV mom ever.
Claire Huxable
Deciding between them is tough imo. But I might go with Vivian. Well, the first Vivian that is.
2nd to Claire Huxtable
i had to come here to say Claire Huxtable and two ppl beat me to it so i’ll just third it
@@bellybolaporgie2359 i agree
I'll say it again, This Aunt Viv was a VERY UNDERRATED tv mom in my opnion.
"you did what?" Jasmine took that scene over quick! so much talent
Aunt Viv's testimony is a prime example of how your trials and tribulations aren't just for you. Even though this is a tv show, the message still reins true in real life. Aunt Viv struggled to finish high school and then college despite the pressure of her entire family depending on her to win, and now she is telling her testimony (cause she SURVIVED) to Kayla (Whitley from A Different World). Aunt Viv survived so she could tell her testimony to Kayla. I pray all of us survive any struggles we are in, so we can impart OUR testimony to someone who needs it like Aunt Viv did for Kayla.
For some reason Aunt Viv reminded me of Whitney Houston...idk why...
Isaiah Saulsberry I feel you...
Isaiah Saulsberry The grace and class she exhibited is tantamount to the same kind of grace and class that Whitney Houston exhibited in her heyday.
OMG! I thought I was the only one who thought that! She reminds me of Whitney circa 1985-86
Isaiah Saulsberry Yaaass. She favors her soooo much. Ain't nothing like the old Aunt Viv. That replacement didn't even have a career. I was like all she did was stay home and take care of the kid. It was after they replaced the Aunt Viv, they rewrote her character to not have be a business woman. I never saw any scenes of her going to work or talking about her job or any of that.
I'm glad y'all agree. Because I've been called crazy so many times for saying that. And let's not for get that Aunt Viv could sing too! 😏
Jasmine Guy's natural speaking voice is the epitome of a true Southern Black woman's natural accent...her father was a preacher and she enunciates EVERY word but that lovely drawl is still present. I always HATED the way they made her whine on A Different World. We miss you and we love you and we appreicate you Ms. Guy!
They didn’t make her do it she came up it with it by herself. It was inspired by her old grade school teacher.
Education is the key everybody, listen to Aunt Viv.
Facts!!
I'm trying so hard to get that point across to my 8 year old granddaughter. She's only in 2nd grade and already has a strong dislike for education.
@@reneebarnes1957 That's because the American education system is trash, but it's the trash we have to use. Try and find her educational interests outside of class, that's what I did, and I loved school, but there were still many gaps that make it very frustrating, especially when you are young. I had to do the same with my niece and nephews, and now, the oldest two are in college when they started off hating school. I just wish their mother had understood how to get them interested herself, lol.
I went back to college in my late 20's after moving, getting married, and working for several years in a nice but dead-end job. I had made excuses for a long time about why I couldn't finish my degree. Finally, I just got sick of the excuses. I went to school, worked full time and finished my B.A. in English and graduated on the Dean's List. I have since been published. It was hard as hell sometimes, but I'm glad I did it. If you have a dream, there's a way to make it work. Just to prove it, my father, who had always wanted to study law, earned his law degree three years ago at the ripe old age of 70 and now he helps elderly people and veterans - my dad is a veteran, too - with wills. Seriously, it is never too late.
It's too bad that we don't have any positive black tv shows like these anymore, not only is family fun but also sends a message, these days a lot of black tv shows are based on negative black stereotypes and vulgar images.
ThePocahontas225 Agreed.
Very true
User 0 No disrespect, but I haven't seen any black shows disparaging white people in years, and even when some did, it was a response to them disparaging us not only in the entertainment world, but in real life. Heck, Hollywood is still a disparage to blacks and other races in 21st century America. And Carlton isn't the only interpretation of a classy black.
User 0 Sorry, I responded to you. I simply can't do ignorance.
+Lyrica81 Then you don't have a legitimate point, if all you're going to do at the first sign of contradiction is draw back and play the "too superior to engage" card. And even if you do have a valid rebuttal, there's no way to prove it.He isn't completely wrong. Maybe not so articulate as he thinks, but he makes a good point. There has been a breakdown in black culture in the past 3 decades. It can be seen in crime stats, counter culture, anti authority movements like BLM and a resurgence in popularity of the BP.How do you explain this, if you disagree with what he said?
Jasmine is so pretty
It’s hard to believe they let this aunt viv go over some behind the camera drama. The show was never the same after they kicked her off
I wonder how this Vivian would've handle the episode with Uncle Phil's crush coming to visit and Will sleeping with her (Pam Grier)? lol
It wasn’t
I stopped watching it not long after she left. It lost its momentum.
Facts even Will Smith stated that in an interview and on top of that replaced her with a light skinned woman. That was really a slap in our BW/darkskinned women faces.
Fresh Prince is easily one of television's greatest shows. Ever.
The sad part is that in real life she was fired and she was treated like she didn't belong...
The original aunt V was a nut job
@@Adam-Adam. She was in an abusive marriage and pregnant. That’s a large reason why she wound up leaving.
Also Will Smith was treating her so badly, he was just down right mean and a brat to her and she decided to leave the show.
I love og aunt viv. Her character is so respectful and classy.
aunt viv was the truth
Exactly! Janet Hubert was great as Aunt Viv!
Yeah the OG Aunt Viv was the best.. the later aunt viv just seems like a useless trophy wife
Juan Aceves - *Exactly!!!!!* 💯💯💯💯💯
OG aunt Viv's back story was so relatable to so many people, especially to the oppresed. No matter what level of accomplishment you get to, it's the fact that you somehow beat the odds. God is good!
The best accomplishment for a woman is to be a good wife and mother.
@@KtotheG Some men want submissiveness but don't have power.
@@KtotheG This character accomplished that and more. She did it all. Her being accomplished and capable, is just in case, the man decides that, her being a good wife and mother is not enough for "him" as so many do... The divorce rate is half, and so many other things could happen as well, like God forbid illness, prison, leaving the good wife and mother for another woman, making her a mistress and mother and so on.. etcetera. That's why it is and always will be important to have a plan set just in case. The word says do things decent and in order. It also speaks of using wisdom.
@@SandyRed881 Some women want rich, powerful men, but don't have beauty and submissiveness.
@@SandyRed881 Women aren't victims. Over 80% of divorces are filed by you gals. You create your own isolation and vulnerability through your rejection of male authority.
Aunt Viv acted her ASS OFF
I loved this Aunt Viv. She seemed so much down to earth than the other one but at the same time classy and sophisticated.
That's what I liked about her, she was classy and socphisticated, yet down to earth.
Will’s acting has gotten so much better. Jasmine and Aunt Viv did amazing in this scene. His best scene was when his father went away.
That scene was heartbreaking with Uncle Phil.
GOTDAMMIT! Original Aunt Viv was SO GOOD!!!!
The AfroPlaylist(Fro-Tho) Right. New Aunt Viv didn’t even act half as positive either. She always seemed irritated about everything or had this sort of attitude every time she opened her mouth to say anything. I don’t know what the producers saw in her character.
She was the replacement sucked....!!!!!
Too much nagging and whining with that second one.
@@brandygee9954 wasn't her fault, blame the writers.
@@rodneyplayer5785 Definitely. I'm not speaking on Mrs. Reid as a person. I'm speaking of what they turned the character into.
IF I DIDN'T NEED TO HEAR THIS TODAY! THANK YOU ANCESTORS ♥️
I respect Will for wanting to leave them alone.
Man. They can talk about the actress all they want, but she was part of the magic that made this show.
She is a good actress, and she is pretty.
❤Janet Hubert.
This show gave us good messages, PSAs, and taught us the values of life.
Aunt Viv, so classy, elegant and regal.
This is why so many ppl like the OG Aunt Viv. She was a good role model for girls or all races especially black girls. The newer Aunt Viv was just kinda stuck up-y
Nothing wrong with a late start in life. After years of no ambition, and just drifting through life, I at 37, went to school to be a CNA, and will be pursuing my RN. I’ll be 40 by the time I finish. Nothing wrong with that. Sometimes it takes people longer to get where they’re supposed to be
Good for you. A late start is better than no start. It shows how driven you are. I wish you the best.
Janet you WEAR that!
These shows need to come back. Shows that are funny but have morals as well
A great teaching lesson however I wouldn’t say it’s the most impactful
Why wouldn’t you?
@@osahju914 In my opinion the most important episode was season one episode six titled mistaken identity. That is when Will and Carlton were arrested and had their rights withheld for transporting a vehicle. (Not a crime) They could’ve easily been murdered. And it’s still relevant today than it was In 1990 when this episode was filmed. Still As relevant today as it was in 1967. Still As relevant today as it was in 1943. I could go on stuff like that just wasn’t presented it on Television at that time. This episode was filmed one year prior to the Rodney King Beating. A lot of Peckerwoods didn’t believe it was real. Most still don’t. It also shows that there are some African-Americans who are blind to this fact but yet are completely shocked when it eventually happens to them. It also shows that you practically have to have a Peckerwood savior in order for the cops to believe you. If you are not familiar with this episode here’s a quick summary for you th-cam.com/video/p6XVWjorVwA/w-d-xo.html
That's Jasmine's actual voice
Yes!
It sounds similar to the other voice
@@seaserenity5971I know
Yes we can prosper without degrading ourselves or focusing on sex all the time 💯
She kinda acted like Whitley in this scene with a deeper voice lol and who caught her southern accent in the end? Lol
sadslumpgod She's not acting, the actress is actually from the south.
She's southern...lol. y'all can't ker Whitley go.
She is not acting like Whitley. This is a totally different character!
her whitley voice is an over exaggerated southern voice she does. this is how she actually talks
I liked this Aunt Viv.
You know, I always preferred the end credits music over the opening. It sounded so much smoother
It's hard to listen to her without the southern accent
right
for the longest, i thought it was a real southern accent.
+leah rockie I know I love the southern accent
ikr
+leah rockie same😂😂
She don't sound weird at all yall be doing the most damn, she sound like a regular person
man some of these episodes were really powerful.
13!
I've never seen her real voice. Wow. She does Whitley sooo well.
Jasmine Guy is legendary lovely
This really popped up when I needed to hear it the most! God works in mysterious ways. We have to sacrifice at times to get to where we want to be! God bless!💜
This is was one of my favorite episodes on Fresh Prince of Bel Air. I loved some Aunt Viv. :)
OG Aunt Viv is the only Aunt Viv we want.
How have I not seen this episode?!😭
Jasmine was so damn beautiful. She took my breath away back then.
Two beautiful women.

I can relate to this episode. Both Jasmine and Janet's roles were incredibly powerful and mindblowing. 💎💎
Best aunt Viv, ever. I just keep telling myself it's not too late.
I think I lost interest when they went with softer Aunt Viv. I loved that chocolate Auntie! She kept it real and grounded, and poignant.
This aunt vivian is exactly like denise in the cosby show/a different world. 1) lisa bonet couldn't get along with bill cosby, janet hubert couldn't get along with will smith. 2) they both got pregnant on the show. 3) they both got fired from their shows. I found the cosby show/a different world pretty weird without denise (lisa bonet) in it, especially in a different world since it was supposed to be her own show. I also found the fresh prince of bel air pretty weird that the other lady was being aunt vivian, I got used to janet hubert!
Bill Cosby was known to get pissed a little things tho like he fired someone because they didn't wanna cut they hair
PrincessZah cole from martin
A Different World thrived without her to be honest.
She wasn't fired. Bill said Denise isn't pregnant, she was given time off because he was breaking stereotypes
This is the only Aunt Viv! She had such presence, such grace and such immense POWER! You believe every word that comes out of her mouth. I swear they ruined this character when they replaced her. She was beauty, grace, wisdom and a powerful woman.
I dropped out of high school because I watched my grandmother die in front of me when I was in grade 11 and I felt like my future died with her so after my grade 12 year instead of doing a third semester I ran away out of fear. I few years later I enrolled in a program that helped me get my high school diploma and not only did it motivate me and change my life around but it put me in a proper direction by not sitting around in self pity but to push myself out there in the real world
Janet Hubert gave so much to this show
She sounds so weird without her country accent. Its hard not to imagine her as Whitley Gilbert.
I know right
She is southern is real life but this is her voice how do y'all have TH-cam and not know? She's a singer too.
I will also say, the Og Aunt Viv was also a really an important figure/example for Poc’s and I learned ALOT from her about being both strong and nurturing.
I loved Janet!
It is so sad that Janet Hubert didn't get to make more TV shows and movies...she was so talented.
Awesome!! I love when the Aunties Teach future Queens.
I really needed to hear this
Light Viv could never
Hmmm. I think there is a storyline inconsistency. She got a PHD at age 20. For a high-school dropout that is impossible to get at that age. She would had to earn a Bachelor's and a Masters within about 2 years and completed her PHD in the other 2. This is assuming he even dropped out of school before the age of 16, got a GED, and went straight to college (which I don't think they would legally allow). A PHD in Eng Lit no less while holding down a job at a motel AND meeting and having freetime to spend with her future husband.
It's Hollywood. Character backgrounds don't have to make sense or be consistent. It's the message that matters - "Ladies don't let no no-good man (like Will) derail your future or ambitions. You too can be an accomplished dancer AND fast-track your higher education AND meet a potentially successful man AND land a great career AND live in a big house and wonderful neighborhood AND have many kinds and be a great mom. You just have to be focused." Having unrealistic goals and expectations is why alot of potentially successful people burn out early.
Beautiful! How did I miss this episode?!
Wow, I just watched this episode this morning.
This aunt viv was everything
Childhood classic
I need to listen to this everyday!
Fresh Prince of Bel Air was such a wonderful to watch when I was little. So many life lessons and inspiring people 😭 💕
The closest we got to a Fresh Prince and Different World crossover
This aunt Viv reminds me so much of Whitney Houston
BLACK EXCELLENCE!
I don't think anybody would not understand aunt Viv's mistake, or Kayla's.
Life hard on everybody, and everyone struggles in their in their lives at some point, you just need to remember your not alone.
It is never to late my cousin went back to school. She has an associates degree in math and looking to get her bachelors and she is 63 🤗
1:33 she fits in because she knows she worked hard and does deserve it. Deep. Preach❤️. I miss old show like this
Yo guys am I the only one who is pissed off and confused that despite the fact will and Kayla didn’t break up we never see her again. Like seriously how do they just set up a really cool relationship leave it where they are still together and then never address her again.
That was a good and inspirational scene. I knew he was going to say, I wonder why she didn't clean my room? Lol.
They never actually kissed in this episode. I wonder if it was because Jada was already dating Will and she and Jasmine were good friends.
+sweetnsexcr2727 i dont believe so. this was from 1991. I dont even believe he was even married to his first wife yet.........
+Darius Slaw Exactly. And if actors worried about their 'significant others' while working, there'd be no one out here acting.
There have definitely been some break-ups in Hollywood because actors' SO couldn't deal.
sweetnsexcr2727 got it.
Jada didn't get with Will for another 10-15 years after this.
when you realise the actress of Kayla played Bonnie's mom in the vampire diaries.
She played her grandmother, or "Gram", Sheila Bennett.
