Danielle Fishel hosts epic ‘Boy Meets World’ reunion on ‘DWTS’ as she performs with William Daniels, 98, during Dedication Night

It was a “Boy Meets World” reunion on “Dancing With the Stars.”

During Tuesday’s “Dedication Night,” Danielle Fishel and her pro partner, Pasha Pashkov, pulled out all the stops for a tribute to the hit series that kick-started her career.

The two performed a jive to the “Boy Meets World” theme song by Twenty Cent Crush featuring Phil Rosenthal. Fishel — who starred as Topanga Lawrence on the ’90s sitcom — dedicated the routine to co-star William “Bill” Daniels, who portrayed the lovable Mr. Feeny.

“I don’t think I would have been the professional that I am today without being able to have watched him all those years,” Fishel gushed ahead of the dance. “It’s been over 30 years since we met, and I know how proud he is of me. He really means a lot to me.”

The routine kicked off with Daniels, 98, standing in front of a school set that the “DWTS” production crew created just for the special evening.

He was also featured in the dance duo’s pre-taped interview package that aired before the performance, telling Fishel, “I’m very proud of Danielle for all she’s doing. It’s a pleasure watching you.”

Plenty of “Boy Meets World” stars packed out the ballroom to show support for Fishel and Pashkov, who received a total score of 29/40 from judges Carrie Ann Inaba, Derek Hough and Bruno Tonioli, and guest judge Kym Johnson-Herjavec.

In addition to Daniels, Will Friedle (Eric Matthews), Matthew Lawrence (Jack Hunter), Betsy Randle (Amy Matthews), William Russ (Alan Matthews), Trina McGee (Angela Moore), Bonnie Bartlett (Dean Lila Bolander) and Alex Désert (Eli Williams) were all spotted in the star-studded crowd.

Rider Strong (Shawn Hunter) was absent due to a prior out-of-town work commitment. However, he’s been to the live show to support his “Pod Meets World” co-host in previous weeks.

Also noticeably absent from the tribute was Ben Savage, who famously played Cory Matthews, amid reports that he’s distanced himself from the cast in recent years.

Fishel took to Instagram ahead of Tuesday’s “Dedication Night” to share a few sweet messages to Daniels, noting that she’s “still taking notes from Mr. Feeny” to this day.

“I feel such an overwhelming responsibility to give a full-out, joyous, celebratory dance to the man who is responsible for THOUSANDS of people becoming teachers and who has helped raise multiple generations,” she gushed in one of her posts.

“This dance is a dedication from me to Bill but I am representing ALL OF YOU who loved and appreciated him and his career for so many decades.”

Last month, Fishel and Pashkov teased that a special reunion could be coming while exclusively chatting with Page Six after the Season 34 premiere.

“If we are here long enough, let me tell you, we have something so unbelievably special planned,” the “Danielle with the Stars” podcast host told us at the time. “We need to make it to the [certain] week. So you guys need to vote for us! But we have something very, very, very incredible planned if we get that far.”

“Dancing With the Stars” returns next Tuesday for “Wicked Night” at 8 p.m. ET/PT on ABC and Disney+, with new episodes streaming on Hulu the following day.
