Jimmy Fallon is slowly turning his rendition of "The Tonight Show" on NBC into a cultural institution, recently referencing everything from Queen's "We Are The Champions" in all-star sing-along after the Super Bowl to Disney's "Let It Go" in a sing-off between fellow comic celebrities.

Returning to Los Angeles for the first time in 43 years, Fallon celebrated the occasion with a send-up of a certain Will Smith favorite, "The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air" theme song; a "tribute to one of the most fabled sagas of moving from the East Coast to the West Coast," the Rolling Stone reports.

Rotating in a bling'd-out throne and wearing some '90s swag, the video clip made a sweet homage to the original title sequence, with announcer Steve Higgins cross-dressing like the title character's misunderstanding mother.

Alfonso Ribeiro, who played the Fresh Prince's cousin Carlton, even co-starred in the tribute, assisting Fallon, Questlove and Black Thought on the now-famous "It's Not Unusual" dance. And yes, he wore a pink pastel sweater for the occasion.

"The studio's 3,000 miles away, but I thought, 'Nah forget it -- Yo, homes, to LA!'" Fallon raps in a cab with a license plate that says "HOST" and DJ Jazzy Jeff in the driver's seat, before knocking on the back door of Universal Studios and concluding the tribute with: "I pulled up to the park about seven or eight, and I yelled out to Jazzy, 'Yo homes, smell ya later!' I looked at the city, said today is the day, we bring 'The Tonight Show' from New York to LA."

Alas, the homage to the celebrated '90s sitcom lacked one major cameo: The show's star, Will Smith, whose career surged after the show came to its conclusion. As of 2014, Smith, 46, has received Best Actor Oscar nominations for "Ali" and "The Pursuit of Happyness," and his films have grossed $6.6 billion in global box office, according to Box Office Mojo. However, Will Smith make an appearance on the show Thursday night as a guest, alongside Oscar nominated actress Rosamund Pike (this year's "Gone Girl") and Jack White (promoting his Grammy nominated "Lazaretto").

Following a street-smart teen from West Philadelphia who is sent to live with his wealthy relatives in their Bel-Air mansion after getting into a brawl on a basketball court with local thugs, "The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air" became a popular show during the early 90s, lasting six seasons and airing 148 episodes on NBC. Its final episode aired ran May 20, 1996.
