An incisive and insightful memoir by one of the most beloved icons of nineties television Jaleel White, the actor who portrayed Steve Urkel on the hit sitcom Family Matters.

DOES IT BOTHER YOU WHEN PEOPLE STILL CALL YOU URKEL?

“This is a question I get all the time and it’s an interesting one—because the question lands differently from different people. Over the years, I’ve trained myself to hear their tone when saying the name or asking the question. If it’s an older grandmother who hasn’t seen me in a while she’ll say, ‘Oh baby, it’s Urkel!’ with genuine enthusiasm, and I’ll greet her with love and give her a hug.

At this point in my life, I firmly understand that this journey was never just about me. It’s been about finding my calling and figuring out the best ways to use it to bring joy to others. I see my story as a testament to the power of perseverance, authenticity, and reinvention.”

In his memoir, Growing Up Urkel, Jaleel White takes you on a memorable journey through the peaks, valleys, and plateaus of fame and fortune. Join Jaleel as he invites you to relive the unforgettable ride of nineties nostalgia, while uncovering the personal growth behind the iconic suspenders and the lasting impact of his journey as one of America’s favorite sitcom stars.
