Hollywood veteran William Daniels, who is beloved for his role as Mr.Feeney on theĀ 1990s show Boy Meets World, made a small cameo on Tuesday’s episode ofĀ Dancing With The Stars.

William, 98, showed up for Season 34Ā Dancing With The StarsĀ contestant Danielle Fishel as his former co-star honored him for the Dedication Night episode aired on October 14. During the Dedication Night show, Danielle, best known for her role as Topanga onĀ Dancing With the Stars, performed the jive with her pro dance partner Pasha Pashkov.

Amid the performance, William was welcomed to the ballroom to floor to watch Pasha and Danielle do their dance to Boy Meets World theme song as a part of the contestant couple’s actĀ following DWTS being hit with a new controversy.

 

“He’s just somebody I have looked up to as a man, as an actor, as a professional,” Danielle said during the confessional portion aired before her dance, remembering how “intimidating” it was to step onto the Boy Meets World when she was young.

Danielle continued: “But Bill, who had already won two Emmys, treated me like I deserve all the respect in the world as a fellow actor. I don’t think I would have been the professional that I am today without having watched him all those years.”

Boy Meets World fans were head over heels for seeing William onĀ Dancing With The Stars, with some admitting how nostalgic-inducing it was.

“I know he’s old but my heart hurts with just how old,” one internet user penned. A second added, “STFU my heart can’t handle this.”

One other wrote, “Man Danielle [looks] so young in this. Maybe I’m just channeling old Boy Meet Worlds lmao.”

Someone else exclaimed, “I JUST BURST INTO TEARS BESIDES MY OWN FATHER I WAS RAISED BY MR FEENEY STOPPPPP”

Despite many raving over Dedication Night, some raged over an audio glitch that happened in the episode.

One complained about the audio issue onĀ Reddit, writing, “Why is the crowd so loud? Turn up the mics please.”

Another fan raged, “What is going on with the audio???” as a third said, “The canned crowd noise is way too loud tonight.”

Yet another complained, “is the audio trippy for anyone else.”
