Jamie Lee Curtis asked for Urkel’s autograph for his daughter, and still has it in a scrapbook!!
Stephen Colbert’s encounter with “Questionert”
66-year-old Jamie Lee Curtis recently made everyone laugh while playing “Questionert” on Stephen Colbert’s show.
In the speed round, Colbert asked, “Have you ever taken an autograph from any celebrity?” Jamie was unable to stop laughing.
Humorous questioning
Colbert’s style was absolutely candid; he immediately said, “Then tell me the name.”
Jamie kept answering “yes” by nodding her head amidst her laughter.
A mother’s wonder
When asked “Whose autograph?”, Jamie said without hesitation, “Urkel.”
On hearing this, the studio resonated with applause and Jamie’s motherly love was clearly visible.
As soon as Urkel’s name came up
The name “Urkel” itself was so cute that Jamie could not control herself.
This name was of Jaleel White’s character, Steve Urkel, in Family Matters, who won our hearts in childhood.
That memory with Jaleel White
Jamie said that he had asked for this autograph for his daughter.
Jaleel White happily gave that autograph, and Jamie kept it.
The rest on the test of time
You will be surprised to know that autographs are still safe today.
Even after three decades, this white paper is shining in Jamie’s daughter’s scrapbook.
Memories left in the scrapbook
The pencil scribbles and light shimmers of ink hanging in the scrapbook are still full of emotions.
Every time that page is turned, both mother and daughter get a chance to get lost in the sweet memories of childhood.
The bond of mother and daughter
Jamie has also shared the story of adoption with her daughters, Annie and Ruby.
Annie joined the Curtis-Guest family in 1986 and Ruby in 1994, and the family has grown closer together ever since.
The simplicity of the celebrity connection
While autographs are usually driven by celebrity fan demand, Jamie’s mom’s reason won everyone over.
It’s not just a signature, but a sweet memory of a relationship that’s treasured in family books.
Every page written with love
“You’re a really great mom,” Colbert said with a laugh.
“I am, I’m a great mom,” Jamie said with a smile as she wiped away a tear.
This small moment reminds us that a genuine connection is more valuable than a celebrity autograph.
When a loving word gets stuck on the page, it’s not just a signature, it’s a signature of the heart.
