While the last episode of the hit sitcom Boy Meets World The show aired on ABC from 2000 to 2000 and has remained in the hearts and minds of its fans. The family sitcom that debuted in 1993 as part of ABC’s TGIF lineup starred Ben Savage as Cory Matthews as he navigated life during his school years. The lucky lady who played his girlfriend-turned-wife was Danielle Fishel, and she has made a podcast series with a bunch of her former co-stars as they rewatch episodes together. However, Ben Savage decided not to join Fishel’s new project, and here’s why.
Danielle Fishel’s new podcast is iHeartRadio’s Pod Meets WorldFormer co-star Boy Meets World Stars Will Friedle and Rider Strong The pilot episode “TGI-Happening,” Fishel explained why the Boy Meets World‘s main star does not appear in this new podcast series. She said:
Ben Savage is doing his own thing. He’s doing Lifetime movies. He’s busy. We would love for him to have been a part of the show. We asked him to be a part of the show. We talked about it with Ben and Ben was like, ‘I’m not sure it’s really my thing.’ He said, ‘It just really is not my thing,’ and we have respected that. It’s not his thing. That is why Ben is not here.
Pod Meets World has the three main stars of Boy Meets World (except for Ben Savage) to share some behind-the-scenes tidbits of our favorite heartwarming sitcom to educate our inquiring minds. They plan to host guest stars from the sitcom like William Daniels, Trina McGee, Betsy Randle, Maitland Ward, and Matthew Lawrence. So far, the show’s first and only guest star has been William “Rusty” Russ, who played Cory’s father who was always there to offer his sons his sage wisdom.
Will Friedle played Cory’s older brother Eric, and he still can’t help but reminisce on the fond memories he had of the sHow and how “unbelievable”It’s because it still resonates among fans. Rider Strong, who played Cory’s best friend Shawn, felt Boy Meets WorldConnect with fansThe show will feature dramatic episodes such as Shawn joining a cult, feeling lost and like he is losing himself.

Based on a true tale, Savage played Nate Kibby. He kidnapped a girl aged 15 and held her captive for nine months in a storage box. Prior to that, he was a guest star in several films. Criminal MindsAnd Homeland.The 41-year old seems to be on the lookout for new opportunities in his acting career. His talent extends beyond his precious comedic roles.
Danielle Fishel and Ben Savage may not be in this exciting new podcast together, but they’ve still had their reunion moments.
