R.I.P. Urkel from Family Matters - GoFuckYourself.com

Body:
R.I.P. Jaleel White

Jaleel White, who played 'nerdy ' neighbor Steve Urkel on "Family Matters" found dead Monday.
He was 29 years old. White was pronounced dead on arrival after admission to an LA hospital early Monday morning. The death is being investigated as a suicide.

Born Jaleel Ahmad White, he began his career at the age of three acting in television commercials, before landing guest spots on shows such as "The Jeffersons" and "Mr. Belvedere." It was in 1989 that White landed the role that would make him famous, playing wacky neighbor 'Steve Urkel' on the ABC program "Family Matters."

Following the cancellation of "Family Matters" in 1997, friends claim White became obsessed with the character, and grew despondent, despite further successes as star and producer of the UPN sitcom "Grownups", and as a writer for NBA.com

Neighbor and friend, Bradley Spencer alerted police after hearing what he described as "a loud bang" coming from White's Los Angeles apartment.

Authorities state that upon entering the home they discovered a young African-American male with an apparently self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head. Also found was a note, which read simply "Did I do that?", a popular catchphrase from the show.

"Jaleel was an uncommonly good man, an exceptional role model and a great comedic actor," said William Bickley, who created the series, and Thomas L. Miller, one of the executive producers, in a joint statement.

"We feel privileged to have known him and worked with him. He'll be missed and remembered every day by his many, many friends," they said. Actress Kellie Williams -- Laura Winslow on the series -- described White as a consummate professional actor. "Everyone adored him," she said.

"We have all lost a dear, dear brother," said Reginald VelJohnson, who played Carl Winslow.

White, an only child, is survived by "cousins, aunts, uncles, and wonderful friends," Bickley said.

Thank GAWD! He's not dead!

I need everyone to take a deep breath and calm down. For some reason a rumor has been circulating around the internet that Jaleel White, who played the nerdy-but-lovable Urkel on the TGIF staple Family Matters, committed suicide anywhere between December, 2005 and last month. An alleged Associated Press report stated that White left a suicide note with his former catchphrase "Did I do that?" next to his body. A picture of a gentleman that was supposed to look like Jaleel (except with shaved head. See right) was connected to the story. These rumors eventually reached us here at TV Squad central.

Well, folks, it isn't Jaleel. So, you can all breathe a sigh of relief. It's all a hoax that began at the end of 2005 and, for some reason, popped up again recently. In fact, he recently appeared in an episode of 24 according to iMDb.

So, before you build the makeshift memorials, and have Family Matters parties to commemorate the life of Jaleel White, please go to museumofhoaxes for proof that Urkel is alive and well.

What kind of forum is this? Anytime anyone posts anything, it's always some sort of cruel or deffinatly not funny "joke" that everyone laughs about except for the few unfortunate souls like me.

I was pretty sad about this when I read it just now. I am releaved that it was a joke, but either way, should we all really be joking about someone's life? Real or not?

Just sayin....

I've seen you post this before... You know this place is where stuff like this has been going on for years.. It's not going to change.. If you don't care for it why do you come here?

davethetruth · 06-06-2006, 02:55 PM

lol

Had me scared for a sec.

I guess this is a common one:

Well, its official - Jaleel "Urkel" White is alive. Apparently, the actor is now in California working as a writer. He graduated from UCLA in 2001 and is a writer for the NBA. His last blog was updated on May 29. In fact, this rumor is very old - an urban legend that resurfaced -but I guess it just caught on. I was really going to be worried about that! People say Urkel wasn't Hip-Hop, but I beg to differ! Urkel was the future Pharrell, the future Lupe Fiasco...the wave of Rap Nerds. Anyway, that's that.

xNetworx · 06-06-2006, 02:58 PM

He is not dead.. he is in my kitchen cooking dinner for me and my girl

RogerV7 · 06-06-2006, 02:59 PM
