@KBM515 Reginald flat out said that "working with him was a challenge", so Jo Marie Payton wasn't the only one who had a problem with him. The difference is that Reginald prettied it up a bit by saying that "overall", he has positive memories of him. As Sara said, he was being graceful, but acknowledged that there was a difficult aspect of his personality. It sounds like he just felt like there was no reason to bring it back up after all this time and wanted to end on a positive note.

I was just a white kid from suburbia who watched Save By The Bell followed by Family Matters every day because they were both great shows in the 90s.

Back then to me, it was just a great show with many unique characters all centered around a great family who happened to be black.

I grew up without a dad because he died off cancer when i was 7. I´m gratefull that this guy was there on tv how a good dad is and hw to treat youre children thank you !!!

1990 baby here and I would be so tuned into this show that growing up I would look for people with the same characteristics as the people on Family Matters. This show was my everything growing up. Today I have kids of my own and I pray that love this show like I did. Carl was the dad I wish I had and taught me so many lessons, that I carry with me to this day. My own dad passed before I was born.. So to see a man take care of his family, teach his kids lessons and be a great husband was very important for me to see. ❤

Of all the iconic TV dads, Carl Winslow is one of the best and my personal favorite. He wasn't overly goofy, he was as stern as they come but caring at all times, and he was the prototype of what it means to be a good dad. As a white kid, Carl was one of the earliest looks into black culture that I ever got. And I think he spoke to us white kids in a way we really needed. Given how other black men were represented in media at that time, Carl was different in the best way and showed all of us white kids that black dads were just like our dads and we're not so different. And as I got older, I loved his role in Die Hard. Again, just a genuinely good character showing compassion through the storms. Reginald really comes across as that caring and compassionate person that will say what needs to be said, but you know he's not making it personal. I don't know how much he's actually acting when he plays Carl other than the not having kids part. The man has that aura of being a parent or teacher. When he talks, you want to listen because you can tell there is wisdom behind his words and a desire to see you be better.

He IS a dad. He basically fathered me my entire childhood! Just love him! 🥰

VelJohnson was only a TV dad not a real lift dad but a WONDERFUL TV dad who set GREAT examples.

He considers Die Hard to be his breakout role in 1988, but he also played a cop in Ghostbusters 4 years earlier. He was actually a finalist for the role of Winston but lost out to Ernie Hudson.

Reginald was such a HUGE part of what made Diehard such a classic. He was the "voice of encouragement", kind of an on-camera audience member, cheering on Bruce Willis as he goes up against the odds. Aside from a memorable, but brief cameo in the second film, his character was a missing ingredient in the later films.

Not having kids, that’s why lol

Despite never having met the man, he was so instrumental to my early teen years I can't even begin to express in words. I remember seeing him on quite a few other shows/movies (Ghostbusters, Turner & Hooch, I think I even remember seeing him in McGyver in a quick clip) but to me, He'll always be Carl Winslow. I've been watching the show through on Hulu again recently and I just can't imagine what my life might have been without it. Despite not having any kids of his own, I hope Reginald know what a positive influence he was on so many people in my age bracket. Even as a white kid who couldn't relate to EVERYTHING, he was a great supplemental role model to my own father. This guy is one of the real ones. And I hope he feels appreciated.

What a nice interview! His voice is so different from the Family Matters dad’s way of speaking.

He absolutely nailed the role of a great dad. I didn't have a father growing up but Carl Winslow did well to instill a lot of great and important lessons to me and millions of kids with or with a dad. Such an incredible actor. And to think Bruce Willis really put him on and the rest is history.

This is a good guy, down to earth, genuine and humble.

My late husband met Jaleel White when his best friend was the mascot for the Orlando Magic. He said Jaleel was pretty full of himself. Insisted on going out in the Stuff (mascot) costume. My husband's friend tried to warn him how difficult and heavy it was but he wasn't having it. After a few minutes he could hardly move and he did admit my husband's friend was right, noting how terribly heavy and hot it was in the suit. Lol

Such a great TV dad!

As a kid I was lured into watching the show by Steve Urkel’s antics; looking back, it also had a great deal of wisdom and valuable social commentary. Truly ahead of its time.

I used to think the show was literally called “Urkel”. I can see why the adult cast members would be frustrated that a child basically highjacked their show, but you have to give the viewers what they want. And when the viewers are happy, everyone is making money and the show can go on.

My parents had us all get together every Friday and "Family matters" was the the show that my siblings and I all looked forward to as a family. The whole TGIF programming, but that show as the highlight. I remember in 3rd grade (born in 1982) one kid brought in a "Family Matters" book and people were kissing his behind to be able to check it out also. I am really grateful to have such awesome memories, not just of the time with my family, but also of the show itself. That was good entertainment and Reginald is an icon. And he has aged really well. I am so glad to see him looking so well too.

As a white kid growing up in the 90s (now 37) I loved family matters, looked forward to it every TGIF. I even had the Steve Urkel doll with the pull string in the back. Great times.

You're darn right to feel that way, that's definitely how it should be. I love it when everyone is included weather the family is white, black or etc.I had white friends growing up and had fun with them at their housees and it was always awesome to be included, so I guess we feel the same on that. That's the true embodiment of our country, not all that separation crap. Lol

He seems like such a genuinely good guy. Nice to see him still around, happy and healthy!

Both TV characters seem to have overall fond memories of their star performer.. better than other actors dealing with star kid actors on other shows. A little difficult is to be expected for someone that age and in that environment where he's got his own song and dance, tv show, invitations to Hollywood events and parties. It's a miracle he turned out to be an overall good person to work with.

God bless Regi! Thank you sir for all the work you provided us, hats off
