Jaleel White on Growing Up Urkel

HURRDAT MEDIA
About this episode

Jaleel White is so much more than the lovable nerd Steve Urkel he portrayed in the ‘90s hit sitcom "Family Matters." In his new memoir, “Growing Up Urkel (on sale Nov. 19), Jaleel opens up about everything from his mom dressing him in too-short, hand-me-down jeans and his dad’s geeky eyeglasses for his “Family Matters” audition to the challenges of transitioning from a child star to a successful adult actor, producer, and most importantly, dad. We dive into all that and more in a fun, moving conversation.
