‘Flip Side’ Host Jaleel White on ‘Family Matters’ Nostalgia, TV Regrets, ‘DWTS’ & More

No matter what Jaleel White does in his career, he’ll 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. The Family Matters star opens up about what the 48-year-old faced in his “Growing Up Urkel” 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 Flip Side.

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.
