thats kind of freaky.

That is really sad.
I hated that show though...it irritated me so bad. Like to the point where I got all tense and it almost made me feel angry...I think I only watched it one time, because my friend was watching it and I was at her house.

True or False: Jaleel White will never play Urkel again? True. Jaleel says he is interested in working behind the camera and wants to establish himself to the world that he is not Steve Urkel. He has even gone on to quote that he would rather "commit suicide" than to play another character like Urkel again, which probably what started the Jaleel White suicide rumor (see next question).
