Fresh Prince‘s Alfonso Ribeiro Snags a Hosting Gig

ABC Family has signed up Alfonso Ribeiro to host the new one hour game show Spell-Mageddon. Filming’s expected to begin on June 17, 2013 in Studio City and the series will air episode one on July 24th at 9pm immediately after Baby Daddy.
 
Ribeiro is best known for starring opposite Will Smith on The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air. Ribeiro played Carlton Banks on the show which ran 1990 through 1996 on NBC, and recently reunited with Smith to sing the Fresh Prince theme song while Smith was out on the talk show circuit promoting After Earth.
 
Spell-Mageddon is executive produced by Adam Reed, Adam Freeman and Leslie Greif. The show “puts a fresh spin on the spelling bee, where contestants take on hilarious distractions while spelling increasingly challenging words.”
