Danielle Fishel Brings Mr. Feeny to ‘Dancing with the Stars’ for a Heartfelt Reunion That’s Melting Fans’ Hearts

Danielle Fishel to Reunite with Mr. Feeny on Dancing with the Stars — A Heartfelt Tribute Fans Won’t Forget 

Danielle Fishel is preparing for one of the most emotional and nostalgic performances of her life — and Boy Meets World fans are already in tears.

On the Oct. 8 episode of her podcast, Danielle with the Stars, the 44-year-old actress revealed that her upcoming Dancing with the Stars performance for Dedication Week will feature none other than William Daniels, the beloved actor who played the legendary Mr. Feeny.

“Mr. Feeny himself is going to be on the ballroom floor with me,” Fishel announced excitedly.

Daniels, now 98 years old, isn’t just appearing in the audience — he’ll be joining her on the dance floor. Fishel confirmed that she and her partner, Pasha Pashkov, will perform a jive to the iconic Boy Meets World theme song, with Daniels playing a special role in the performance.

“We get to dance to the Boy Meets World theme song — the one you all know and love,” she said. “It feels surreal even saying it out loud.”

For Fishel, this moment isn’t just about nostalgia — it’s about gratitude. “It’s really a dedication to Bill and the role he has played in my life, and the role Boy Meets World has played in my life,” she explained. “I’ve really felt like Dancing with the Stars has been a second act for me — a chance to reconnect with performing in such a meaningful way.”

Daniels, who turned 98 in March, remains an inspiration to both fans and colleagues alike. “He’s such an inspiration to so many of us,” Fishel shared. “To be able to say thank you to him and give him this kind of platform — to receive the love he deserves — is going to be very memorable. I can’t wait.”

But the surprises don’t stop there. Fishel teased that other Boy Meets World alumni will be in the audience to cheer her on. “Some people I’m shocked are able to be there — but I’m so happy they can. It’s going to be really special.”

Earlier this year, Daniels’ wife, Bonnie Bartlett Daniels, told PEOPLE that her husband still deeply treasures his time on Boy Meets World. “He adores the whole cast,” she said. “He misses that experience with them. He likes to be part of a group. That’s what keeps you going — community.”

Now, decades later, that sense of community is stronger than ever. As Danielle Fishel and William Daniels step onto the ballroom floor together, fans can expect a night filled with nostalgia, love, and gratitude — a beautiful celebration of mentorship, friendship, and the timeless magic of Mr. Feeny. 🌟
