188.035 - 206.791

I stay the night and one night weekend, two or three years. The kids are not all right, but that's okay because no one here is. Take me. Hello, Beatniks. Hmm, slowly getting there. I can feel it. We are inching closer to a name.

207.352 - 232.268

It's time for another installment of Teen Beat with me, Danielle Fishel, the host of the 1998 ABC TGIF premiere party featuring the musical stylings of NSYNC and an appearance from the Olsen twins. But now, decades later, I sit down with interesting people to chat about their awkward and embarrassing memories from childhood, all in an attempt to learn more about their present selves.

232.248 - 253.168

And I am the perfect host because, like I say, I gave you my childhood. It's time we hear yours. And this week, I'm joined by someone else who experienced the joy of puberty under the watchful eye of an international viewing audience. She began her time in the spotlight at just seven years old in a PSA for foster care.

Though not this one, a public service announcement would later become quite a big deal in her origin story. But first, she transitioned into print modeling at age 10, all from the comfy confines of her hometown, Minneapolis, Minnesota. And when she left behind those cold winters and juicy loosies for Hollywood, that was the moment she became a 90s it girl.

277.203 - 292.842

She made her screen debut in 1995's Babysitter's Club, a who's who of cool girls from the era who out me for the part. But it was 1999's She's All That that forever cemented her as a first crush for an entire generation.

293.342 - 305.877

And her starring role in 2001's Josie and the Pussycats has outlived us all, a film that has grown from box office failure to cult classic, now correctly repositioned as a feminist manifesto.

305.857 - 329.514

But now, she's employed her 10,000 hours of experience in the industry and lovable personality to move from just starring in a dizzying amount of Hallmark movies like Autumn in the Vineyard, Sisterhood Inc., and the recently released Caught by Love, to also producing her own like-minded content, like Love Guaranteed on Netflix, and an upcoming cinematic reunion with Freddie Prinze Jr.

329.714 - 353.768

that I am currently sat for. I can tell you as someone who has now been in rooms with her for four different decades and counting, she is always the coolest girl in the room. But is it possible that underneath that cool is somehow some embarrassment from her formative years? Well, it's time to find out. Welcome to Teen Beat, the one, the only, Rachel Leigh Cook.

354.237 - 386.122

Danielle Fishel, that was the nicest intro I've ever gotten in my life. I don't even care that it's not true, most of it, and I'm not cool. You're so cool. You're so, oh my God. You've always been cool. Truly. I- I'm like, I'm trying to be like Hallmark cool right now. Yeah, yeah. I am like, I never felt cool ever. I was such a little try hard too. Like embarrassing. Really? In what way?
