Donald Trump made an appearance on The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air episode “For Sale By Owner” in 1994. He plays himself and the storyline is he is interested in purchasing the Banks’ large Bel-Air mansion.
Will’s uptight cousin Carlton (being Carlton) is so excited about meeting Trump that he faints. Remember, at this point in history, Trump was merely a rich businessman, and probably Carlton’s idol.
Carlton’s sister, Ashley, however, is furious with Trump because she doesn’t want her father to sell their childhood home. She yells to his face that he’s ruining her life to which he responds: “Everybody’s always blaming me for everything.”
The producer, Gary Miller, remembers being called to Trump’s dressing room to listen to the future president complain about how he didn’t think his lines were funny enough. At one point backstage, Miller says, Trump “threw a tantrum” and tossed his script into the air, pages flying everywhere.
