Alfonso Ribeiro is a star because of his role in The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air. He played Carlton, the yuppie who made a cringeworthy dance trend famous. However, while he knows he owes everything to Carlton, Ribeiro also said the role ruined his acting career.
here is what Alfonso Ribeiro said about his mixed feelings about playing Carlton on Fresh Prince of Bel-Air.
Alfonso Ribeiro Says Carlton Was The Worst Thing That Happened To Him
Alfonso Ribeiro starred as Carlton Banks on The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air for its entire run. That was six seasons and 148 episodes.

In an interview with Closer Weekly, Ribeiro said his role as Carlton was the greatest thing that ever happened to him.

“Jeopardy!” isn’t in jeopardy at the Daytime Emmys on June 26. It’s the front-runner to win Best Game Show and Best Game Show Host (Alex Trebek), according to the combined predictions of Gold Derby users who have placed their bets here in our predictions center. It would extend the show’s record in the top category, though Trebek would only be halfway to the record for the most wins by a host.

Sony has acquired AT&T’s 42% stake in Game Show Network in a transaction with a total value of $500 million.
After the deal, Sony will own 100% of the multimedia entertainment company, whose offerings are anchored by its namesake cable network, which airs original and classic game programming. Game Show Network channel will continue to be carried on AT&T’s DirecTV.
Mark Feldman will continue as president and CEO of Gsn.
Sony is positioning Gsn’s suite of game programming alongside its television unit’s established game properties such as Jeopardy! and Wheel of Fortune.
For AT&T, the deal furthers the company’s objective to pay down debt and generate cash from non-strategic assets. The telecom and media giant, still digesting its $81 billion acquisition of Time Warner, has sold off a range of assets from real estate to equipment while also completing a massive restructuring of Time Warner, now known as WarnerMedia.
