When asked about what makes the iconic sitcom stand out, the "Aladdin" star credited "the casting."

"You cannot buy or fake chemistry," Smith said. "When people vibe, when people are in sync and in tune and in harmony, you can't fake that. And when you have it, it creates magic."

"I think we could all sense that something special was bubbling," he added of the show, which celebrated its 30th anniversary this year.

"I have to say, after 27 years, being here today and having the conversation Will and I had together, the moments that we shared the other day, it's healing," said Hubert after a large sigh. Hubert played Aunt Viv for the first three seasons before being replaced by Daphne Maxwell Reid for the final three seasons.

"The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air" ran for six seasons from 1990 to 1996 on NBC. The 30th anniversary reunion special is streaming now on HBO Max.
