Jasmine Guy talks about A Different World 1 of 8

[@debparker7204]

"A Different World" is my all-time FAVORITE sitcom!! I loved it so much because I could relate to it as an alumnus of Tuskegee University (an HBCU)...it depicted Black College Life as it REALLY WAS!! I was a junior in college when it initially aired, so I really bonded with the show and the characters. I was so close to this show that I named my daughter's middle name "Jaleesa" (I spelled it differently)...I also had a roommate named Kimberly who looked EXACTLY like Kim Reese and she was my ROAD DOG!! I actually KNEW people that were EXACTLY like EACH of the characters and I mean to the TEE!! Thanks for this video series, I learned a lot of interesting facts that I didn't know! This show (after Season 1) was the BEST and I have most of the episides on DVR!! LOVE YOU, "A Different World," Debbie Allen ROCKS!!❤❤❤

Favorite episode is when Whitley was getting married and Dwayne's begs for her. "Baby Please !!!"

Yes I just watched that scene last week and cried lol

[@freein2339]

That episode was stupid...

[@aceblanks7658]

@@freein2339 Awww you must’ve never had love in your life and you are butt hurt about it. Anyone that says that episode is stupid don’t believe in love and never experienced it. Unless you were one of those who got dumped for somebody else.

[@freein2339]

@@aceblanks7658 I believe in love you idiot but that includes love of other people not the selfish love of only yourself...Did you bother to think how the character Baron felt. .or his friends or his family...??..No you didn't because you live in fantasy not the reality

In the Hollywood scheme, she should have multiple Emmy’s

Jasmine you were just so hilarious on "A Different World" as the character Whitley you did us the veiwerers proud it gave us something to look forward to weekly and to watch so that we could pull from all of your little witty sayings. Keep blessing us through your Acting Skills or whatever line of work that you are now involved in because someone is watching you and taking it in for the good from what they see from the message that you may say without even voicing a word. My sister your furture is looking brighter praise God!!!!! God bless you from your sister in Christ in Hammond, LA.

I love her matter of factness.

[@davidrose5589]

Very insightful story. Well done.

[@jennifertate4397]

That "hair" bit was hilarious. 🤣🤣🤣

[@natashawall8131]

I absolutely still love Jasmine Guy. From FAME to School Daze to our favorite, Whitley Gilbert in A Different World, she is a Wonder Woman, but can we PLEASE explain how much this woman and Prince Rogers Nelson are doppelgangers!!! They look JUST ALIKE!

[@davidterry919]

A very beautiful woman and a real lady

[@mariettaberry1711]

In the first season of a Different World, Whitley said she had a sister. In later seasons, she was an only child.

[@amitalati5741]

Jasmine Guy. Without the Whitley voice. 😳😅

[@thomasterry1131]

Blair Warner from Facts of Life and Whitney of A Different World were uppity rich girl fantasies.❤

[@bubbaclark4355]

Music was annoying should had full interview

[@jessiefox3739]

I always thought that Whitley was mixed race. Her mother was black and her father was white. I could relate to Whitley because my mom was black. She grew up in Bridgeport Conn. My dad is white and he grew up in Manhattan Central Park west. My parents met at Columbia University and I grew up in Holmdel, N.J. although my personality is more like that of Denise.

[@PopGoesTheCultureTV]

Interesting.

[@kendallrivers1119]

Jasmine is mixed race but Whitley had two black parents played by Diahann Carroll and Ron O'Neal.
