The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air arguably has one of the greatest opening title sequences in sitcom history, and Jimmy Fallon did it justice in a parody that aired on Monday night's Tonight Show. Filmed in honor of the show's week in Los Angeles, it was pretty faithful to the original — from the spray paint used as deodorant to telling the taxi cab driver "smell ya later" — but two very special cameos gave it the perfect twist. —Catherine Garcia
