Let the marketing for Girl Meets World begin!

Tuesday, The Tonight Show‘s viral content maestros asked Samuel L. Jackson to pull a typically nostalgia-tinged stunt: Perform an extremely accurate and detail-oriented slam poem about ’90s sitcom Boy Meets World. And boy did Jackson oblige.

The clip is actually a really great recap of the program’s seven glorious seasons. (Someone over at The Tonight Show is a massive fan).

Psst: Sam! The whole thing is on YouTube.
