Jaleel White
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.
At the tender age of twelve, Jaleel White auditioned for the role of Steve Urkel, the socially inept genius, who was in love with his next-door neighbor, Laura.
Though Steve Urkel was intended to be in only one episode, Jaleel’s indelible performance catapulted Urkel into the pantheon of American pop culture. But success can cost as much as it pays. After nine years on the popular sitcom Family Matters, Jaleel is twenty-one, a UCLA undergrad, and adjusting to a world and industry that sees him as the nasally nerd in high water pants, suspenders, and coke bottle glasses.
In this wise and witty memoir, Growing Up Urkel takes you on a memorable journey through the peaks, valleys, and plateaus of fame and fortune.

Would have definitely been a great "everyone hates Chris style" show. They dropped the ball passing up on that.
Great story telling.
Author seems to be a tad victim minded and doesn't seem to like his mom to much. I hearing many subtle digs at his mother. And in every story in the book, you can guess that he would be a victim somehow.
Overall, I'm glad he got to tell everything from his own perspective.
Good but had some eye roll moments
