Jaleel while looking back on their wedding told People, ‘I felt like a prince.’
Jo Marie Payton, 73, who played Winslow family matriarch Harriette, alleged in May 2022 that her co-star Jaleel once acted out violently on set.

Jo Marie left the show in 1997, and Family Matters ended its run in 1998.
Jaleel’s Urkel character became known for his catchphrases, including: ‘I’ve fallen and I can’t get up!’, ‘I don’t have to take this. I’m going home.’, ‘Did I do that?’, ‘Whoa, Mama!’, and ‘Look what you did!’
