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. I have really felt like Dancing with the Stars has been a second act for me in my career and as a performer," Fishel said on the podcast, as per People magazine.
Fishel couldn't stop herself from gushing over Daniels, who turned 98 in March, calling him "an inspiration to so many of us."
