Jimmy Fallon is winning over the internet again with his spoof of the popular 1990s TV show The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air.

The colourful send-up kicked off Monday's Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon​ and celebrated the New York-filmed talk show's temporary relocation to Los Angeles.

"I'd like to take a minute, if that's OK, I'll tell you how I brought the Tonight Show back out to L.A.," rapped the comedian from the golden throne once occupied by the original Fresh Prince, Will Smith.

The pitch-perfect parody also featured two of the show's original characters:

  • Alfonso Ribeiro, who busted out his famous Carlton dance moves
  • DJ Jazzy Jeff, who drove the yellow New York taxi cab

Fallon, who took over Tonight Show hosting duties from Jay Leno at NBC last February, has started a new chapter in the show's history.

The 40-year-old triple threat regularly churns out viral videos. Most recently, Fallon's Super Bowl lip sync battle featuring Will Ferrell and Kevin Hart has been viewed more than 15 million times in its first three days online.
