One brought us “The Carlton.” The other brought sexy back. Now they’re both delivering gold.
Justin Timberlake and “The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air” star Alfonso Ribeiro were paired together at The American Century Celebrity Golf Tournament in Lake Tahoe, Calif., last weekend.

Clearly, when you have two people as talented as Timberlake — an award-winning singer, songwriter, actor and all-around coolest guy ever — and Ribeiro, best known for playing Will Smith’s cousin Carlton on hit 90s TV show “Fresh Prince,” something awesome is bound to happen.
Let’s just say their performance was par for the course when it came to our expectations.
Yup, that’s Timberlake coaxing Ribeiro to do “The Carlton” dance that he made famous on “Fresh Prince” and then JT himself joining in on the fun. Bonus points to Timberlake because the new dad will totally embarrass his kids with this someday.
Here’s another angle.

Congrats, guys: You win the weekend. Now go sit on your thrones as the Kings of the Day.
UPDATE (Tuesday, 6:20 p.m. ET): Jerry Rice joined in on the fun at a later hole.
Clearly the dance floor is not where Rice spent most of his days. Despite being the runner-up on season 2 of ABC’s “Dancing With The Stars,” Rice just looked … bad. It kind of looks like Rice was trying to do the Ray Lewis dance, but we’re still happy the Pro Football Hall of Famer chose football over dancing.
The video did give us one fantastic revelation, though: Apparently Ribeiro’s go-to celebration move is “The Carlton” dance, and this wasn’t just a one-time thing for the fans. Now we can’t stop picturing Ribeiro busting a move after finding a $20 bill in the pocket of his jeans or after discovering there’s just enough milk left for his morning bowl of cereal.
If that doesn’t make your day, nothing will.
