- <p> "It's like a trophy of your work that can be shared with
- others," says actor JALEEL WHITE. Is he talking about the Oscar
- or the Emmy? No. It's a 17-in. talking Urkel doll. White's nerdy
- but lovable TV character, Steve Urkel, on Family Matters is the
- coolest thing to kids, meriting a Hasbro re-creation. White, 14,
- says kids admire how Urkel hangs out in hiked-up jeans and
- saddle shoes without worrying about what society thinks of him.
- But he admits, "I wouldn't walk out in the street like this."
