DWTS 14 Jaleel White And Kym Johnson Promising To Entertain (Video)
ET enterviewed Kym and Jaleel in rehearsals today and wow, are they ever looking fantastic. So elegant and graceful. What do you think??
Thanks to Elmari, you can read a new article on these two at ABC7 as well here. Below is a fun take….
It’s been 14 years since “Family Matters” was on TV, but Jaleel White says Steve Urkel’s signature moves just might sneak into season 14 of “Dancing With The Stars.”
White says he still hasn’t completely unhooked himself from the famed nerd’s successful shadow. He said there’s a small fraction of fans who want to see a “Steve Urkel suspenders move.”
“Did Ralph Macchio break out the crane? Did he? I don’t know if he did, did he? ” White said, referring to the “Karate Kid” actor and “Dancing With The Stars” season 12 contestant. White’s pro dancing partner Kym Johnson smiled and responded, “I think he did at one point.”
For those interested, be sure to watch The Rosie Show tonight on OWN! Jaleel is one of her guests.








I think Ralph’s move was in the paso. I’m rooting for Jaleel & Kym.
I can’t wait for this! Jaleel looks a little annoyed by the question about him doing the Urkel and I can understand why. It seems to be the only thing people care about when they think about “Family Matters”! I would like to see Jaleel be Jaleel. If I want to watch Urkel, then I will watch Family Matters. Gotta love reruns! Besides being annoyed, he looks a little tired but that’s good because that means he’s working very hard. He shouldn’t worry about the cameras. Frustration and anger with the yelling, swearing and slamming doors in rehearsals is nothing new to us lol.
Jaleel lost 12 lbs already…. Wow!
I wish these interviewers and journalists would leave the man alone about the Urkel thing. Urkel was an epic character but Jaleel is his own person. And he is right he just can’t bust out of hold and into Urkel dance lol the judges would definitely give him a low score. If people vote for him we might see it in the finals freestyle. Him being uncomfortable with rehearsal video cameras around all the time is normal I heard Maria say she didn’t know they were around for the whole rehearsal each day. I feel for them must get frustrating sometimes learning hard steps and video cameras are on you. Jaleel and Kym foxtrot look like it’s going to be good.
Second what Brit said about leaving Jaleel alone about the Urkel dance. I applaud Jaleel for giving an honest answer both to the broken-record Urkel question and admitting his discomfort about being “on camera” all the time in rehearsals. He might not have watched DWTS in the past, but my guess is he knows TPTB will use the rehearsal footage to manufacture maximum drama. I know the stock answer to that is “don’t give them anything to work with”. However, if you’re a bit of a perfectionist and have any kind of temper (like me), that’s easier said than done!
