No matter what Jaleel White<\/a> does in his career, he\u2019ll forever be linked to the iconic role of Steve Urkel. This has proven a double-edged sword much like other successful child stars, especially during the TGIF era of the 1980s and 1990s.\u00a0<\/span>The <\/span>Family Matters <\/span><\/i><\/a>star opens up about what the 48-year-old faced in his \u201cGrowing Up Urkel\u201d memoir. White has largely been able to avoid the pitfalls of early celebrity and continue to evolve in Hollywood. These days White pulls from his past experiences on television as host of the <\/span>Flip Side<\/span><\/i><\/a>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n The game show, which returned for Season 2, became a hit in syndication right out of the gate. Each episode sees two teams attempt to choose the top answer out of two different groups who were surveyed about a given topic. The top scoring duo moves on to the final round for a shot at $10,000.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Here White opens up about how he is embracing nostalgia while moving forward.<\/span><\/p>\n Your book came out last year. What kind of impact do you think it has had having your story out there with what you went through as a \u201890s child star?\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n Jaleel White<\/b>: I feel the impact is still being felt. I\u2019m getting a lot of feedback from my audio book. I\u2019m particularly proud of that because I read the book myself. The thing I know about myself is that I\u2019m a walking nostalgia bomb for people. The more I embrace that, the more joy I bring to my own life. So, I\u2019m here to do it.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
