The most notable and iconic was their final song which was a rendition of Smith’s own iconic theme song from The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air. Smith and Fallon jumped around through the audience while rapping the lyrics.

 

Smith also talked on the show about his recent joining into the world of social media and his newly created YouTube channel.

“When you make a movie, it’s 18 months. You work and it’s 18 months until you see the movie,” he says. “There were so many things that were dying on my creative vine. When I did the Fresh Prince it was every single day and the show came out once a week. So I’m going to be doing skits, I’m going to be short films, music, I’ve started recording again.”
