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

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.

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).
