Teen Beat

Danielle Fishel spent her teenage years inside millions of homes, every Friday night, portraying the iconic Topanga Lawrence on the family sitcom, Boy Meets World. From her first kiss to her first haircut – absolutely everything was caught on camera. Thirty years later, she’s come to the realization that numerous generations have witnessed her most formative (and awkward) years – and now she’s looking to turn that spotlight around.

“Teen Beat with Danielle Fishel” will find the former child star, current TV director and recent Dancing with the Stars contestant, sitting down with other celebrities to unearth details from their (untelevised) upbringings. Since their first pimple wasn’t highlighted during TGIF programming, the least they can do is talk about it now.

By cracking open their childhood diaries to reveal embarrassing fashion choices, school crushes and dramatic friend fallouts, Danielle isn’t just chasing nostalgia - she’s using the memories as a roadmap to understand who her guests have become and what the future could bring.

Danielle Fishel gave you her childhood – now it’s time we hear yours.

    Mar 25 2026

    Danielle is getting into the ring with two bona fide WWE Hall of Famers - Nikki and Brie Garcia (a.k.a. The Bella Twins).

    But before the Championship tiles and glimmer of Brie Mode, they were two “boy crazy" high schoolers, dominating at Soccer and taking care of an Arizona farm.

    They open up about their childhood as twins - and rebelling against matching clothes and rhyming names.

    Plus, a listener shares an embarrassing story about an accidental chat with a crush, and we find out if Danielle can survive a Bella Buster, when they jump off the top rope for a brand new Teen Beat!
