Danielle Fishel had an incredible time on “Dancing with the Stars” Season 34. She was well-liked on the show and did a fantastic job competing alongside professional dance partner Pasha Pashkov week after week, showcasing her improvement. But when her journey ended in Week 8 during the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Night episode, Fishel’s connection to the show continued.
After her elimination, she has continued to interview other celebrity competitors and DWTS pros on her iHeart series “Danielle With the Stars.” It’s proven to be a success and a great way to provide insight into the ABC dance competition and what goes on behind the scenes. Fishel has found a calling, and she has a new project in the works!
Danielle Fishel’s Latest Project
Fishel will be launching a new show with iHeartPodcasts titled “Teen Beat.” It is set to premiere on January 7, 2026. The show will focus on featuring celebrities and getting them to reveal their childhood stories.
“As someone who spent her teenage years on millions of TVs, from her first kiss to her first haircut, Danielle has decided it’s time to turn the tables. She’ll sit down with other celebrities to unearth details from their (untelevised) upbringings, cracking open childhood diaries for embarrassing fashion choices, school crushes, and dramatic friend fallouts,” the synopsis for the podcast reads, Variety reports. “Since most people’s bouts with pimples weren’t broadcast during a beloved TGIF lineup, the least they can do now is talk about theirs now.”
Speaking of her new venture, Fishel joked about channeling beloved “American Idol” host Ryan Seacrest. “I have cherished my relationship with iHeart over the past three years and look forward to our newly minted future,” she said. “Like only I have said, loudly in the hallways of their office: I am the new Ryan Seacrest.”

Fishel also shared the announcement on Instagram on Thursday, December 4. She is posing in a black-and-white outfit in the promotional picture. In the caption, she wrote, “Danielle Fishel gave you her childhood – now it’s time we hear yours… Listen to Teen Beat starting January 7th!”
