Jaleel White addressed past claims from 'Family Matters' costars Reginald VelJohnson and Jo Marie Payton that he was 'difficult' to work with as a child

The feel-good sitcom Family Matters premiered in 1989, and is perhaps best remembered for the family patriarch Carl Winslow’s (Reginald VelJohnson) feud with his nerdy neighbor Steve Urkel (Jaleel White).

White, 47, stopped by SiriusXM’s “ Andy Cohen Live ” this week to promote “Growing Up Urkel,” his newly-published memoir about his life growing up as the nerdy neighbor Steve Urkel on “Family Matters” from 1989 to 1998.
