I seem to remember in 1993 Jaleel White (as Steve Urkel) plugged a contest on the set of FM where viewers had to send videos of them impersonating Steve Urkel. He said the winner would appear on the 1/10/94 episode. The c9ntest gave the impression that the winners would have a cameo appearance during the episode proper

The 1/10/94 episode ended with…videos of kids impersonating Steve Urkel during the end credits not during the episode. Now Jaleel didn’t flat out say they would appear on the episode proper but I wonder what those kids today think when they see their appearances on that episode either in reruns on TV One (when TV One actually SHOWS the end credits) or on streaming services or on DVD. What do you all think?

My favorite part of that episode is when the kids growl at Steve when he follows them into the kitchen. :D :D :D

God bless you always!!!
