Emmanuel sang the Christmas carol 'White Christmas' to President and 1st Lady Nancy Reagan, and cites this as the only performance that he was ever nervous to do.
(edit)
Emmanuel ranked #6 in VH1's list of '100 Greatest Kid Stars' in 2005.
(edit)
Emmanuel's agent and attorney renegotiated his contract after the 1st season of Webster in 1983, to lock into five more seasons and to allow for profit sharing & syndication.
(edit)
Emmanuel is often compared to, and confused with Gary Coleman. The two have three things in common: both are African-American, short in stature, and both have had a hit show about trans-racial adoptions.
(edit)
Emmanuel appeared on the celebrity edition of The Weakest link, and his first question was 'which month has the least amount of days?' he flubbed the answer, and said 'May'. He wasn't voted off though, until the end of the show.
(edit)
Emmanuel: People thought I was this doll that came to life, so I would have different people just treating me very strangely as far as I was concerned. They wanted to see if I was real.
(edit)
Emmanuel: I want to direct, produce, and write, learning as I go. Learn this area, learn that area. I plan to go to college and study business, because understanding the business is a must. That's so you can be on top of things all of the time. You have to think one step, two steps, three steps ahead, you can't just sit still.
