Jeffrey Allen Townes, better known as DJ Jazzy Jeff, is a producer, deejay and actor famous for a show that the Eagles have embraced en route to Super Bowl LVII. We’re talking, of course, the 1990s classic, The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air. He’s also a lifelong Philadelphia sports fan, who, in recent weeks, performed at the NFC championship game, put on an epic show at the Grammys to celebrate “50 years of hip hop,” and performed his signature Fresh Prince handshake with Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts—in a moment that went viral—and Nick Sirianni, in a moment that did not.
