I use to see Ms Payton a lot in my old area in West LA. Orlando is definitely telling the truth about Jaleel. The problem is Jaleel wasn’t very liked due to his entitlement and colorism issues.
If that's even true, it could have been the case of the female cast member being jealous. Like Esther Roll was to Jimmy Walker, like Janet was to Will Smith. Clearly these women care more about the attention and clout than they do the money.
@C-Lyfe85 Keep making it goofy. Esther Roll and the John Amos had problems with the show from the beginnings. Esther Roll is the one who fought to have a father on the show in the first place. They wanted to show a broken black famous. The show went down when they catered to the minstrel show aspect of Jimmy Walker. NO ONE LIKED JALEEL. Literally men, women, and other children. You and Jaleel are the only ones who think that dude is a star. How many versions of Steve were they going to come up with. 😂
Once he was added and POPULAR, the NINJA'S head became BIG on and PROBABLY OFF THE SCREEN. I heard that he was one of the many who was COSBY-BASHING!!!
Urkel was obviously a huge part of the show, but as a Black 90s kid, Harriet and Carl made the show feel warm and relatable. They brought balance to the show, as did the other ensemble characters. Characters like Urkle and JJ from Good Times can’t have a show just on their own. It would be too much. They need the others for balance. Jaleel needs to stop acting like everybody else was indispensable.
@@JM-to3hy Then why didn’t he get a spin-off? Remember Family Matters was a spin off from Perfect Strangers to follow Harriets home life. Cookie characters like Urkel NEVER get a stand-alone show because producers knows they get super irritating outside of their context. A show needs heart first.
@@JM-to3hy He brought comedy to the show that was it, like he was hired to do. Everyone else made the storylines come together. Everyone played a role in the success of the show. If he was such a big star on his own then he would have gotten his own show. You hardly saw him in anything before Family Matters. Jo Marie was doing more projects than him even before Family Matters. His ego and personal dysfunction got the best of him and still does from the looks of it.
If he said the others were "indispensable", his opinion actually aligned with yours. I.e. a positive statement, meaning he too thought the presence of the others was essential.
@@jamaicanbeauty1588 I don't like you, you're a sadistic bitter dipwad, who can't appreciate a black man's success but rather hates when other black people are successful
You can tell by looking at Jaleel White that he can be something else. This information proves it. I don't think anyone really cared too much for him after his Family Matters days. Other shows he tried to be in were a flop. 👎🏾
@ I think the character was the “hero,” if anything not Jaleel white himself. I literally didn’t learn his name was Jaleel until years after the show ended.
Bla bla easily influenced by a woman who's bitter than the show was supposed to be about her, but Urkel stole the show from her. Be happy a black man is successful and stop being jealous of other black people being successful
@eph Use your critical thinking skills. Yte audiences did not want to see a show about an entire bla family. They enjoyed the buffoonery of Urkel. They did the same thing with Good Times. It is why the Cosby show was so groundbreaking. They showed an entire family. However that was the exception.
And I believe every word she said the same way I believe Janice Hubert and what she said about Will Smith. These men walk on set and treat their elders like ish. It’s sad
Will is known to be very nice to his co workers and admitted to being immature at the time Most people who worked with him were shocked about the slap Will is also bigger than Jaleel because he apologized to her There is a televised interview between them for the fresh prince reunion The vibe from that interview was that the two of them should have had better communication because I feel if that happened it would never have escalated to Janet getting fired I don't think Janet is blameless there too Her approach wasn't great either She should have been the nature one in the equation and approached it better I actually felt the sad part about that was I feel Will nd Janet could have had a great relationship friendship if they communicated better Will remained close to his Co stars on the show even after it was done and yes even the older ones
Okay, we're not going to act like Janet Hubert wasn't being a whole ass diva that was starting shit on her end. And I don't care how old you are, when you deal with other people, you need to have respect. You don't get to disrespect someone just because they're younger than you. And that's the kind of energy Janet Hubert gave. She wanted his show to be about her, and that wasn't what she signed up for. If he got spicy with her, I'm sure she likely asked for it at the time. I don't think she should have been blackballed necessarily, but I definitely think that some people need to learn how to humble themselves a bit more than what they choose to, particularly when it comes to dealing with people younger than them. There's a lot of age oriented abuse and bullying in the Black community, and I dealt with that shit myself personally growing up.

Jaleel brought this on himself by gossiping about other people. I mean u get what u put out. If you're airing out skeletons on other people. U will get the same in return. And everybody can't b the problem lol
Great content Lailah . I believed that his parents had set absolutely no boundaries or limited boundaries with him. He seemed not to be grounded in reality.He thinks he is bigger than he actually is… And , I have absolutely no idea who or what he is dealing with in his life. It couldn’t have been easy to be the breadwinner of the family. Nonetheless this was a good story. Looking forward to hearing more. Thank you 🥰🎯🎯🎯🎯💯💯💕
Apart of me understands that he was under pressure and I can see in the episodes of how much work he really had to put in to give us a good show but it doesn't matter how much pressure you're put under, you still have to treat everybody the right way. It's like doctors and nurses or manager assistance. They get put under a lot of pressure as well, but yet you still have to treat everybody with respect.
@joypeaceandhappiness1501 - Thanks for your response. I guess I missed that episode. I never knew that Jaleel White was such a meanie on the Family Matters set. What a shock!
@Firefly-ht9fp no problem. I'm not surprised he was a mean kid, but I am surprised he's still that way. Getting alot of fame and money early on can do alot do a developing person. Unfortunately it doesn't appear he's grown out of it and that's a problem.
Hi Lailah, I really like when you put out content like this. It is so interesting to hear about the back story of my teenage shows. Great video...Thanks!👌🏾👍🏾👏🏾🤗
I think Urkel has gotten to big for his own good. He's not even good looking he needs to stop being cocky. That the attitude Jo Marie was talking about
Bla Bla keep being influenced by a bitter sadistic old lady, who's mad that the show was supposed to be about her, but Urkel came, the audience liked him mroe than the rest. Stop liking the fact that other black people are successful and be happy for the black man's success
I don't understand how saying he's trying to respect his elders and avoid an argument with her is considered age-shaming-that doesn't make sense to me. I think we were all taught to respect our elders. He didn't call her old, he just pointed out the age difference. As a young man, his tolerance for conflict might be different, and his comment about wanting to physically fight her may have been in response to a request to make his character more despicable for the show. There seems to be some misunderstanding of the context. It's important to remember that Jaleel White was a kid growing up on a major TV show, and there were two very different generations on set. The transplants from Perfect Strangers have every right to feel some type of way, but let's be honest-*Family Matters* was about to be canceled before Urkel came along and saved it. I don't think anyone was truly in the wrong here, but we have to consider the huge age gap and the fact that Jaleel spent the majority of his adolescence and early adulthood on that show. We all get on our family members' nerves as we get older and more confident. So, cut the guy some slack-everyone could use a little more understanding.
The Key and Peele sketch of Family Matters, is so true! It's what the show actually became. With Urkel as the main focus, the later episodes become crazy.
Now it's coming back to me! That one scene in that particular episode where Harriet put her finger in Gangster Dawg (Urkel) face talking about " you better check that attitude at the door!" I believe she really meant that!!! That angry face she made was REAL!!!
TGIF WAS THE SHYT!!! I do loved that family matters was the spin-off of perfect strangers when she was an elevator operator! Balky was my dude on perfect strangers
They older lady that played the grandmother said the disrespect was a two way street .. The lady said the lady who played Harriet was mad that the show is her vehicle for her & she would get pissed very easily at him ..
@kristanoneal I believe that. Jo Marie had the same issue that Esther Rolle had with Good Times shifting from being her show to becoming all about the JJ bufoonery.
@@JustJohnda and that’s crazy to me.. I wouldn’t care as long as what I created was doing well.. it doesn’t have to be centered around the person who made the show even if tht was the point
I just want to say that Ms Payton was always so sweet to me. I am from West LA and I use to see her all the time at the Vons on Fairfax and Pico back in the 90’s. She stayed in the same area as me when I was younger. Jaleel is a colorist and, as nice looking as he is, he was the problem on why no BW wanted him due to his entitlement issues. Dude is from Culver City not to shy away from West LA and, around that time it wasn’t a lot of blk ppl who lived there. Just like all the BM I’ve known who went to school in predominantly nonblk neighborhoods they always lie and say how no BW wanted them. His behavior could have been checked by his father but that is a different story. Therefore, since I know what I know about Jaleel I am on Ms Payton’s side. And I would also like to add that Orlando who is another LA native also spoke about Jaleel’s behavior and he told not one lie!
Fr. I'm not even from Chicago and that show was known as the "Urkel show " or Urkel in our house😂👍. Jo Marie sounds ridiculous. She was beefing with a kid at the time instead of the Network execs who took her opportunity and gave it to someone else.
So we're going to act like Family Matters would have lasted NINE seasons without Jaleel White's Steve Urkel character? A show staying on the air for one year short of a decade is super rare in Hollywood, and that feat does not happen if Jaleel never joins the cast. Facts, whether you like him or not. 💯
With All due respect. 1. Jo Marie Payton is ONLY complaining because she DIDN'T get exact what she wanted.😂 2. The show originally was supposed to be about her character and her family. Which to be honest wouldn't have lasted long on TV . She was holding resentment and ANGER towards a kid who did NOTHING but audition for a part and succeed at it. 3. I Believe her when she said that Urkel as a kid may have been a little bit annoying and arrogant as a kid/teen, but who WASN'T that way when growing up. 4. At atleast 40 years of age at the time , she had NO business beefing with a kid. Especially when that kid DIDN'T have any real power at time. He showed up and got the job. 5. She should have been complaining to the Higher Ups in charge of the show trying to get them to change it back to the original format , or follow through on their promise to give her a spin off.
I had just ran into Thelma (well that was the good time name) not too long ago. She was selling her books and pictures at a place I was working at, very nice lady.
🥱Im waiting on him to come out of the closet. I heard this long ago. Jaleel is his own enemy. And it sucks to need people to be checking for you because WE AREN'T!
Fr😂. My mother would NEVER let me fight a woman. UNLESS I was in danger. Anything other than that, I was in trouble. Why was a woman atleast 40 years old at the time beefing with a kid? 😂
Hi Lailah! LOVE your outfit! Yes, please do a video about Good Times. Would love to get your in-depth perspective on the characters and how the show ended. ❤
Personally I belive Family Matters would've been cancel early if Urkle didn't came on to lively it up ...every preteen 90s kid was hook on his funny nerdie ways 😂
Jaleel sounds like a bitter ass hole. He tried to hop on the 2024 expose train but he just exposed himself 🤡 I like that the family looked like a real family.
Funny you mention Perfect Strangers which yes Family Matters did spinoff from. Reginal VelJohnson appeared in two episodes of Perfect Strangers with Jo Marie Payton. According to Jo Marie Payton some people at Perfect Strangers weren't happy she was getting her own show.🧐🤯📺🤷
I can tell by the way that he's been spilling the beans and making certain comments lately that he was a diva onset. If he's as immature as he is now, then he definitely was immature back then 🤷🏾♀️
Jo Marie Payton wanted to leave Family Matters before season 9 but she was talked into being in the first half of season 9 while the series would move to CBS for it's final season. Her final episode was the christmas episode from that season and was also the final appearance by Telma Hopkins and Rosetta LeNoire. 🤔📺🎄😢
The fact that he chose to age shame them as opposed to actually answering the question, only confirms what they were saying about his behavior.

who want all the clout and attention, instead of just thinking about the money.
There was no way Janet hubert, Joe Marie, Esther Rolle,
could compete with Will Smith, Jimmy Walker, or Jaleel White.
Not in the comedy capacity, they don't have it in them to be "likable".
He’s coming off really unlikable during this book promo.
Not Urkel trying to put his hands on Suga Mama...I dont think I could bare the sight...
Gen X here: I loved watching Perfect Strangers.
Me too
I'm sorry this guy gives me he-man black woman hater vibes ."I believe it 🤷🏽♀️
True
It was me on the other post that brought this up... he needed a pop for acting up the way he did lol
I believe her.
💯
Bla bla easily influenced by a woman who's bitter than the show was supposed to be about her, but Urkel stole the show from her. Be happy a black man is successful and stop being jealous of other black people being successful

@eph_loves_80s74 Wow, you sound hurt, are you ok? Lol!
Urkel damn near 50. He needs to stop🛑
She probably left the show because Jaleel became “the show”
Same thing happened on Good Times. The focus shifted to “Dynomite” J.J.
@@dianesherrod6227 but it was cancelled after she left. So maybe they needed her.
@@chrisk2734 😂😂
The she WASN'T canceled
They Completed 10 full seasons and had a Big Finale .
The show would NOT have lasted 3 seasons if it was just about Jo Marie.
Jo Marie collected a check for NINE YEARS! And left after the show jumped networks to CBS. The writing was already on the wall.
Chile not my Jojo and Jaleel scrapping..my lil 90s kid heart can't take it.
Jaleel brought this on himself by gossiping about other people. I mean u get what u put out. If you're airing out skeletons on other people. U will get the same in return. And everybody can't b the problem lol
You look beautiful Sis! 😍
He reeks of arrogance.
I agree, if Marie Jo write a book, then she could tell her side so we don’t have to make assumptions.
@@dianesherrod6227 She told her side Which is why he is replying and he didn't actually say anything soo we still have just her side.
Great content Lailah . I believed that his parents had set absolutely no boundaries or limited boundaries with him. He seemed not to be grounded in reality.He thinks he is bigger than he actually is… And , I have absolutely no idea who or what he is dealing with in his life. It couldn’t have been easy to be the breadwinner of the family. Nonetheless this was a good story. Looking forward to hearing more. Thank you 🥰🎯🎯🎯🎯💯💯💕
Apart of me understands that he was under pressure and I can see in the episodes of how much work he really had to put in to give us a good show but it doesn't matter how much pressure you're put under, you still have to treat everybody the right way. It's like doctors and nurses or manager assistance. They get put under a lot of pressure as well, but yet you still have to treat everybody with respect.
they scrubbed that OGD episode from tv. cause i never seen that episode until recently and i BINGED that show for years
@@TheHeat205Network - What is OGD?
@@TheHeat205Network it was dumb.
@@Firefly-ht9fp original gangster Dogg, Steve's Cousin. It was dumb, but I remember when it originally aired.
@joypeaceandhappiness1501 - Thanks for your response. I guess I missed that episode. I never knew that Jaleel White was such a meanie on the Family Matters set. What a shock!
@Firefly-ht9fp no problem. I'm not surprised he was a mean kid, but I am surprised he's still that way. Getting alot of fame and money early on can do alot do a developing person. Unfortunately it doesn't appear he's grown out of it and that's a problem.
I definitely remember TGIF!
Mcdonalds + TGIF was my fridays. The good times
He can age shame all he wants, i believe it
He will have poor book sales. No one is checking for him.
Perfect Strangers was good with Balki... I'm telling my age 🤣😭 but I look good for my age. 😀
Girl, thank you for keeping us up with what’s going on. I haven’t heard any other blogger speak about this. But it makes a lot of sense now thank you.
Great content 😊
I broke my 🦵🏿 and pushed people out the way to get here 😭🤣
So he ruined it for everybody, got it 😅
Jaleel is a narcissist, he’s always been that and I’ve been saying he’s full of himself even years before I even knew what a narcissist was.
Hi Lailah, I really like when you put out content like this. It is so interesting to hear about the back story of my teenage shows. Great video...Thanks!👌🏾👍🏾👏🏾🤗
I think Urkel has gotten to big for his own good. He's not even good looking he needs to stop being cocky. That the attitude Jo Marie was talking about
Bla Bla keep being influenced by a bitter sadistic old lady, who's mad that the show was supposed to be about her, but Urkel came, the audience liked him mroe than the rest. Stop liking the fact that other black people are successful and be happy for the black man's success
@eph_loves_80s74 lol can you spell
@MsLuv2sang I can, you can't. Wow black people don't like other black people being successful and you're one of them
@@eph_loves_80s74 this isn't a Black thing. They're both Black! Can you see?
I don't understand how saying he's trying to respect his elders and avoid an argument with her is considered age-shaming-that doesn't make sense to me. I think we were all taught to respect our elders. He didn't call her old, he just pointed out the age difference. As a young man, his tolerance for conflict might be different, and his comment about wanting to physically fight her may have been in response to a request to make his character more despicable for the show. There seems to be some misunderstanding of the context. It's important to remember that Jaleel White was a kid growing up on a major TV show, and there were two very different generations on set.
The transplants from Perfect Strangers have every right to feel some type of way, but let's be honest-*Family Matters* was about to be canceled before Urkel came along and saved it. I don't think anyone was truly in the wrong here, but we have to consider the huge age gap and the fact that Jaleel spent the majority of his adolescence and early adulthood on that show. We all get on our family members' nerves as we get older and more confident. So, cut the guy some slack-everyone could use a little more understanding.
The Key and Peele sketch of Family Matters, is so true! It's what the show actually became. With Urkel as the main focus, the later episodes become crazy.
True
@@gotenhuggins270 Blue collar family sitcom turns into Quantum Leap who writes this sh*t?🤔📜🙆🤷♂
Now it's coming back to me! That one scene in that particular episode where Harriet put her finger in Gangster Dawg (Urkel) face talking about " you better check that attitude at the door!" I believe she really meant that!!! That angry face she made was REAL!!!
Yes I definitely wanna see a video about good times!
Yes
I adore your winter realness… love it❤
TGIF WAS THE SHYT!!! I do loved that family matters was the spin-off of perfect strangers when she was an elevator operator! Balky was my dude on perfect strangers
They older lady that played the grandmother said the disrespect was a two way street .. The lady said the lady who played Harriet was mad that the show is her vehicle for her & she would get pissed very easily at him ..
as she should have been she started the show….
@@TheHeat205Network that’s ppl problem too entitled.. you dnt get to show yo ssa because it’s your show 🤣
@kristanoneal I believe that. Jo Marie had the same issue that Esther Rolle had with Good Times shifting from being her show to becoming all about the JJ bufoonery.
@@JustJohnda and that’s crazy to me.. I wouldn’t care as long as what I created was doing well.. it doesn’t have to be centered around the person who made the show even if tht was the point
U can't predict who the audience is gonna gravitate to sometimes you have break out stars
I just want to say that Ms Payton was always so sweet to me. I am from West LA and I use to see her all the time at the Vons on Fairfax and Pico back in the 90’s. She stayed in the same area as me when I was younger. Jaleel is a colorist and, as nice looking as he is, he was the problem on why no BW wanted him due to his entitlement issues. Dude is from Culver City not to shy away from West LA and, around that time it wasn’t a lot of blk ppl who lived there. Just like all the BM I’ve known who went to school in predominantly nonblk neighborhoods they always lie and say how no BW wanted them. His behavior could have been checked by his father but that is a different story. Therefore, since I know what I know about Jaleel I am on Ms Payton’s side. And I would also like to add that Orlando who is another LA native also spoke about Jaleel’s behavior and he told not one lie!
All I know is that as a Chicago kid in the 90s, we didn't even call it Family Matters lol. We called it Steve Urkel.
Fr. I'm not even from Chicago and that show was known as the "Urkel show " or Urkel in our house😂👍.
Jo Marie sounds ridiculous. She was beefing with a kid at the time instead of the Network execs who took her opportunity and gave it to someone else.
So we're going to act like Family Matters would have lasted NINE seasons without Jaleel White's Steve Urkel character? A show staying on the air for one year short of a decade is super rare in Hollywood, and that feat does not happen if Jaleel never joins the cast. Facts, whether you like him or not. 💯
Exactly. She should be angry at the network higher ups for NOT keeping their promises to her . NOT Jaleel who was a kid at the time 😂
With All due respect.
1. Jo Marie Payton is ONLY complaining because she DIDN'T get exact what she wanted.😂
2. The show originally was supposed to be about her character and her family.
Which to be honest wouldn't have lasted long on TV .
She was holding resentment and ANGER towards a kid who did NOTHING but audition for a part and succeed at it.
3. I Believe her when she said that Urkel as a kid may have been a little bit annoying and arrogant as a kid/teen, but who WASN'T that way when growing up.
4. At atleast 40 years of age at the time , she had NO business beefing with a kid. Especially when that kid DIDN'T have any real power at time. He showed up and got the job.
5. She should have been complaining to the Higher Ups in charge of the show trying to get them to change it back to the original format , or follow through on their promise to give her a spin off.
I used to wonder how come Jaleel wasn't together with the "Family Matters" reunion. This confirms it... He's a jerk!!!
I had just ran into Thelma (well that was the good time name) not too long ago. She was selling her books and pictures at a place I was working at, very nice lady.
ATP…I’m tired of Jaleel. Always complaining and ain’t doing nothing
This has me cackling 😂 not Urkel trying to square up
What a disappointment he turned out to be!
Straight up!!
🥱Im waiting on him to come out of the closet. I heard this long ago. Jaleel is his own enemy. And it sucks to need people to be checking for you because WE AREN'T!
So sad to hear Steve was a meany
He was/is something else.😂😂😂😂
The fact that I clicked on this so fast 😮
Are you saying TH-cam is making it mandatory content creators be on camera?
Lovely Lailah is the 2nd yt creator that I am subscribed to who has said this and is now on screen. 🤔
I don't believe for one moment that Jaleel White wanted to physically fight her. His mother didn't play. She didn't go for nonsense.
Fr😂. My mother would NEVER let me fight a woman. UNLESS I was in danger. Anything other than that, I was in trouble.
Why was a woman atleast 40 years old at the time beefing with a kid? 😂
I read an article about Jaleel White, the article said he doesn't get along with women very well and he's kind of mental, so yeah there you have it.
That’s why he dates and married the women who will put up with his b.s.
I like your outfit! Cute!
At this point Jaleel, you’re the problem 🤦🏾♀️
I always loved your show . You desrve a Million followers ❤
You are just Beautiful!!! It's so funny hearing a voice and picturing someone around their voice. Cute, cute outfit as well love that skirt!
Love your outfit at the end. So cute 🥰
Hi Lailah! LOVE your outfit! Yes, please do a video about Good Times. Would love to get your in-depth perspective on the characters and how the show ended. ❤
Personally I belive Family Matters would've been cancel early if Urkle didn't came on to lively it up ...every preteen 90s kid was hook on his funny nerdie ways 😂
Jaleel sounds like a bitter ass hole. He tried to hop on the 2024 expose train but he just exposed himself 🤡 I like that the family looked like a real family.
@@1Sakks0 a dusty in hollyweird form
Funny you mention Perfect Strangers which yes Family Matters did spinoff from. Reginal VelJohnson appeared in two episodes of Perfect Strangers with Jo Marie Payton. According to Jo Marie Payton some people at Perfect Strangers weren't happy she was getting her own show.🧐🤯📺🤷
I can tell by the way that he's been spilling the beans and making certain comments lately that he was a diva onset. If he's as immature as he is now, then he definitely was immature back then 🤷🏾♀️
Jo Marie Payton wanted to leave Family Matters before season 9 but she was talked into being in the first half of season 9 while the series would move to CBS for it's final season. Her final episode was the christmas episode from that season and was also the final appearance by Telma Hopkins and Rosetta LeNoire. 🤔📺🎄😢
