Family Matters star got candid about the classic sitcom and not feeling âwelcomedâ at first.
For millions of fans, Jaleel White and Steve Urkel feel like one and the same. Despite being centered around a Black family, it was Steve Urkel who made the series a pop culture phenomenon. But everyone wasnât on board for Urkel s guest appearance, according to the actor, who recently said I was not welcomed to the cast at all. They know what it was. In an interview for
Uncensored, White also revealed about his first appearance on the TGIF classic:
I didnât think anything of it being casting on
Uncensored, in which he goes all in on the history of his iconic role and time on
Family Matters. In a preview, White explains, “I was not welcomed to the cast at all. They know what it was…I didn’t think anything of it being cast to be on
Family Matters, because it was supposed to be a guest spot, one and done.”
Jaleel White quickly stole the show as everyone’s favorite nerd on the classic sitcom Family Matters. He turned what was meant to be one guest appearance into an iconic starring role. An all-new episode of UNCENSORED airs Sunday at 10/9C. pic.twitter.com/QAp7sy8zNc TV One (@tvonetv) May 3, 2021

It was never planned for Steve Urkel to become the standout character on
Family Matters. So much so, that the character s actor didn t mind that he was initially shunned by the cast.
What a picture! If I could go back in time to 1994 and tell a young Jonathan that one day his favorite TGIF character would be teaming up with a notor.
