Summary
KW: Before we start, I hope you could answer this trivia question. I recently interviewed Rashida Jones and I was asking her about the opening sequence of every episode of The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air. Towards the end of the theme song, when Will gets out of the taxi, I always assumed that the cabdriver was Quincy Jones. Looks just like him. When I asked Rashida, she said she had never heard that rumor before, and that she didn't know for sure, but she didn't think it was her father. Can you settle the mystery once and for all and tell us whether that's Quincy behind the wheel?

It's definitely in the ranking. I loved Bamboozled.JPS: I hadn't really thought about that. I'm really grateful for the opportunity- but I just want to make a great show. I'm hoping that people can just see a great show, whether it's an African-American, an Asian, or a Native American that's standing at the forefront. History-wise, there was probably a point in time when I wouldn't have had this opportunity. So, to have this opportunity is a big deal for me. I'm very grateful for it.See the full content of this document
