Fans of Alfonso Ribeiro, known for playing Carlton in The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air and hosting Dancing with the Stars, were disappointed by what went down at The Jennifer Hudson Show recently.
The talk show shared a video on March 14 of Ribeiro arriving to the show, walking and dancing down a hallway as the crew sang to him—an activity that has become a trademark for The Jennifer Hudson Show.

The crew started chanting, "At J. Hud, Alfonso's here. Show 'em what you're workin' with, Alfonso's here," while the actor showed off some smooth moves while looking suave in a red and white plaid suit.

But fans online felt like this was a major missed opportunity on both ends, wondering who was to blame for the snub.
"How’s he NOT going to hit the Carlton dance?! ??," questioned one fan in the comments, referring to a memorable scene from The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air when Ribeiro's character Carlton puts on the song "It's Not Unusual" by Tom Jones and does a unique dance.
Other fans shared similar comments like, "You had ONE job…to do the Carlton. ?," leading someone else to turn the blame on the talk show, saying, "they had ONE job too—and that was to chant to the tune of 'It’s Not Unusual.' ??♀️."
In line with that note, someone else claimed that the crew's chant might not have been fast enough for Ribeiro to smoothly recreate the dance, writing, "I was expecting the Carlton dance too but I think the song was faster when he did the 'Carlton' ( I got my receipts)...I still wanted to see him try."
Back in 2022, Ribeiro called out fans randomly asking him to do the dance in public, saying during an appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live!, "I'm a Black guy, I'm just not dancing for you. It's not gonna happen."
"I don't have a love for it like they do," the America's Funniest Home Videos host stated.
