‘Gammy Is A Mood!’: Jada Pinkett Smith, Willow Smith and Adrienne Banfield-Norris Do the ‘This or That’ Challenge Video

“Red Table Talk” hosts Jada Pinkett Smith, Willow Smith and Adrienne Banfield-Norris played the “This or That” challenge that has become popular on TikTok.

For the challenge, as the tune “Tricky” by Run DMC plays, people put up pairs of opposing choices in any categories they like and walk to the side of the choice that resonates most with them.

The “RTT” hosts shared their version on Monday, Dec. 14, and the results were a surprise to some viewers.

The first topics they chose were skin care versus hair care. Pinkett Smith, 49, and Smith, 20, both walked to skin care and Banfield-Norris, 67, chose hair care as her priority.

In the debate between heels and sneakers, the 20-year-old sided alone for streetwear.

When it came to new music versus old school music, all three of the “RTT” hosts were in favor of old school tunes.

For their third topic, eating for flavor or eating for nutrition, Banfield-Norris was the only one who said she preferred taste over health.

Their final topic was whether they prefer a night in or a night out and the 67-year-old proudly danced her way to a night out unlike Pinkett Smith and Smith.

“Gammy is a mood! 😂😍,” one person said in the comments section.

Another joked, “Gammy said ‘I’m going out! Y’all be easy.’”

“I love that grandma is about going out!!” one fan added.

Pinkett Smith, Smith and Banfield-Norris always seem to have a lot of fun together despite this video showcasing their various differences. 

“Love you guys… grandmother, mom and daughter power! So lucky,” one fan said in the comments of their “This or That” challenge video.

The trio provides both comedic relief and an outlet for open conversation on their Facebook Watch show.

Banfield-Norris revealed in a profile in The New York Times in March that the concept for “RTT” had come about in 2013, years before they launched in 2018.

“Willow had been asking questions,” the 67-year-old told the outlet. “And it dawned on Jada that there’s a lot of things that Willow just doesn’t know about us.” 

Through the show, the three have shown the good, the bad, the ugly, and everything in between.

Democracy needs journalism it can trust.

This election season, the stakes are higher than usual — and so is the pressure on newsrooms to soften their coverage, stay quiet, or just disappear. Independent reporting, the kind that answers to readers instead of advertisers or political pressure, matters more in a moment like this, not less.

For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed independent and reader-funded. We have no corporate owner and no shareholders telling us what to cover or how to cover it. That independence is also our biggest vulnerability: nothing protects it except readers choosing to fund it directly.

Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under in a moment like this, it's rarely the independent, reader-funded ones that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
