'Fresh Prince of Bel-Air' pranks C-SPAN

The host of a live C-SPAN call in program got pranked by a caller who followed the lyrical format of a particularly popular sitcom's theme song.

I cant believe the caller did this without laughing,

It warms my heart that there’s still adults pulling this stuff and enjoying life 😂

[LOLOMANYAuno]

that guy deserves a prize for not laughing his ass off

[hyun]

I love how he slowly builds into it until he's flat out reciting the lyrics, that's how you do it

[ethandodd]

Second I heard Bel Air I knew where this was going.

[vinnytesla]

the term 'essentially' made him seem to be a legit caller

[bobryner]

I laughed way harder than I should've lmao

[postpwnmalone]

i sincerely miss the era of these harmless, hilarious pranks

[WJINTL]

Cspan callers are a gift to this universe

[GodfatherXXI]

As soon as I heard “west Philadelphia” I knew it was a bit.

[greggately]

See, now that’s extremely well done and clever...bravo

[kalebwieland]

The best part about that call is that it's so genuinely serious it's funny.

[dickrichards]

If you don't think this is funny, then we just can't be friends.

[deskjet]

This is the finest quality prank calling.

lol, had the guy kept going without obviously giving it up at the end those newscasters would have definitely bought it book line and sinker. he actually had it going in the beginning. if one didn’t REALLY put two and two together he would have had them.

I don’t know how these anchors and folks on the other end can hold their laugh unbelievable! 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 no wonder they’re doing what they do

[killyourtelevision]

0:41 I love talking heads telling me exactly what just happened as if I am too stupid to understand it myself.

[assholio]

Thanks for the recap Asian lady! Like we didn’t just watch it!

Little known fact: Comedian Freddy Lewis once tried to recite the “Seinfeld” theme song on a prank call. He then realized there were no lyrics. xoxo The Clarences
