'Saturday Night Live' debuted a trailer for a 'Family Matters' reboot called 'Urkel,' starring Chris Redd, Kenan Thompson, Ego Nwodim and Ariana DeBose.
for the one-hour series, giving fans and a first look into the dramatic retelling of the classic '90s sitcom.
“SNL” cast member Chris Redd took on the role of Steve Urkel, setting up the show in a dramatic voiceover as clips of the actor dressed in character played out, including one moment where he tucks a gun into the waist of his jeans. Another voiceover gave more context to the show with a tongue-in-cheek explanation, adding, “The goofy characters you loved in the '90s with absolutely none of the fun or charm.”
Thompson cuts in with a more harsh response, telling Redd, “What are you deaf, Steve? She ain’t interested! Now get the hell out of here!”
