      Many people can outshine Will Smith. He’s just loud so he seems like he has a lot of charisma but in reality he doesn’t. Anyone with a decent amount of wit will outclass him.

    That was a great episode of Fresh Prince. Tom Jones shows up in the middle as Carlton's guardian angel, and like It's a Wonderful Life, he shows how the Banks home would have been like if he was never born. Kind of an odd interpretation of that, but it was a sitcom though. 😁
