Recently, Fuller House saw D.J. wondering about the whereabouts of Urkel, which happened following the surprise appearance of her father’s ex-fiancee Vicky Larson on the series. As a result, there are a lot of people who are wondering about whether Urkel will be making an appearance at some point in the not so distant future as well, particularly since the series creator Jeff Franklin more or less stated that the comment was intended as an open invitation to Urkel’s actor Jaleel White. In other words, there is plenty of interest in seeing such a cameo from the people behind Fuller House, but it remains to be seen whether White will feel the same, seeing as how he has not revealed his personal opinion about such a cameo even when someone straight-up asked him about the idea in a past interview.
At this point, some people might be confused about the idea of Urkel making an appearance on Fuller House. After all, Urkel was not a character on Full House but rather a character on Family Matters. However, it is important to note that the character was so popular that he appeared in a number of other TV shows as well, with Full House being one of them. For those who are curious, what happened was that Urkel showed up in a 1991 episode of Full House to help Stephanie overcome her hesitation after she got a pair of glasses, which was hand-waved within the episode by Urkel being a cousin of a friend of D.J. However, the most amusing part is the implication that Urkel was visiting the Tanner family right before visiting the Lambert-Foster family on Step by Step, which suggests that all of these TV shows as well as others existed in the same shared setting.
Why Is There So Much Interest in Steve Urkel?
As for why people would be interested in seeing Urkel make an appearance on Fuller House, well, suffice to say that the character was very, very popular back in the 90s. For proof, look no further than the fact that he was intended to be a one-shot character who proved to be so popular that he first became a recurring character and then became a member of the main cast. In time, Urkel became so popular that more and more Family Matters episodes became centered around either him or other characters connected to him and played by the same actor. For what it is worth, there were even real world products based on Urkel, though their popularity faded along with the TV show that inspired them.
Summed up, Urkel was a huge part of the 90s for a lot of people. Considering that Fuller House is in significant part motivated by nostalgia for those times, Urkel would fit in well, particularly since the series has already seen a number of famous figures from those times make their appearances. With that said, it remains to be seen whether Jaleel White will show the same interest as the people behind Fuller House, which is one more reason that interested individuals should continue paying attention to the news for the latest developments.
