‘A Night at the Oprah’
Season 3, Episode 9 - Aired November 9, 1992
The Banks family are invited to Chicago to appear on the Oprah Winfrey Show. Everyone except Will, that is.
Quote from Will
Ashley: Come on, Daddy. I bet being on Oprah really helped you in the polls.
Philip: I'm not worried. You know, I was going about this all wrong. I was trying to come across as the perfect candidate with the perfect family. Voters want a candidate that's human, flawed.
Trevor: [on TV] And in local politics Philip Banks has plummeted another 8 points in the polls.
Vivian: Oh, come on, honey, don't worry. You're going to win.
Will: Uncle Phil, you're going to win. And you know why? 'Cause you're a decent man. I mean, you brought a kid out from West Philly and you made him feel at home in your house. I mean, there is no way that Judge Robertson can compete with that.
Trevor: [on TV] And in a related story, Judge Carl Robertson announced today that he is adopting 12 ghetto youths.
Will: Oh, well.
