According to White, “We’d shoot three episodes, and I’d go back on hiatus. I was on a schedule of three [shows], school, two [shows], school, three [shows], school. So I was constantly popping back in, and then in the spring, I was there the entire time — that’s when reruns used to exist.”
90s Con host and panel moderator Jenna Leigh Green, who played Libby Chessler on Sabrina the Teenage Witch, pointed out “that was again at a time when people were willing to do that, to work with young people,” adding: “We were meant to be professionals. We were meant to be kids, but some of us just did other things, so the fact that they were willing to work with you is really, really [great].”
Said White: “It was weird, though, because I felt like I was learning these life lessons backwards. I probably learned a lot of things in college that I should have learned in high school — on a social level — but then I was interacting with adults on like this insanely high level.”
He added, “It was just great to get it out in the book [the 2024 memoir Growing Up Urkel], and I never would have imagined that all these years later that people would still be emotionally so connected to the 90s.”
