I may get it but haven’t yet. It seems he’s still bad mouthing some of the cast, though some things may be true. Give any notes from the book if you like!

SPECIAL EPISODE! In lieu of our usual Thursday interview, we decided to share our thoughts on “Growing Up Urkel: A Memoir” by Jaleel White!

We’ll discuss Jaleel meeting the most famous Bills of the 90’s: Cosby and Clinton, getting heckled by a basketball game crowd over free tacos, being stuck in the middle of petty tension between the Fox Kids president and her former boss, and of course…how he addresses tensions with Family Matters castmates Reginald Veljohnson, Jo Marie Payton, and Jaimee Foxxworth.

^^^ According to his Wikipedia page, he got married just over a year ago, but he doesn't wear a ring in the book's cover picture.

God bless you and him and his family always!!!

Jaleel wrote in his book how Jamie Foxworth's mother, Gwen hated him from day 1 because he came in getting storylines and Jamie had been there and only got a few lines. He says her mother was a stage mother and often complained about her daughter's lack of lines. Apparently, the on set tutor went to producers about Jamie failing school. The tutor said their license was on the line because Jamie wasn't supposed to be working if she wasn't passing her classes. The producer sat Jamie down and asked how they could fix the situation and Jamie said she didn't like school. The next season, she was gone and her dressing room was given to Maxine (Cherie Johnson).
