The opening credits for every show that aired during TGIF always followed the same exact formula: The stars doing something normal like opening a door or eating a cookie, and then breaking into huge grins as they stare into the camera, like they were just caught doing something truly amazing.
The Tonight Show accurately recreated this '90s phenomenon Thursday night, with Jimmy Fallon receiving top billing as the patriarch and James Poyser of the Roots getting the honor of portraying the set of twins ubiquitous to every show. For extra authenticity, Jesse Frederick, the man behind the Family Matters, Full House, and Step by Step themes, performed a very special song he wrote to go along with it. The only thing missing is a cameo appearance by Urkel, but we can't have everything. Catherine Garcia
