It has been a surprisingly charming week in terms Boy Meets World news.
And that means we are nothing but two stories involving the beloved ABC sitcom from 1993 to 2000.
The first one involves Mr. Feeny’s open marriage – because we live in 2023, the time when the truth is no secret.
Another major development in this Corey Matthews verse is a bit more wholesome, and it’s a story that would probably make Feeny proud of his favorite student.
Actor Ben Savage – who starred world for all seven seasons – has reportedly filed documents to open to Congress.
Savage is running for a seat in California’s 30th District, which includes Ben’s hometown of West Hollywood, Burbank, parts of Pasadena, and more.
The seat is currently held by Adam Schiff, who is rumored to be eyeing Diane Feinstein’s Senate seat, if the longtime California senator chooses not to seek another term.
This is not Ben’s first foray into the political arena.
Savage unsuccessfully ran for a seat on the West Hollywood Council in 2022.
It seems his defeat in the election hasn’t deterred him, as Ben has been swinging for the fences this time by entering what is sure to be a high stakes race.
Schiff has served in Congress since 2001, and as chairman of the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence from 2019 to 2022, he is a regular on Sunday morning talk shows.
The race to replace him has certainly garnered a lot of media coverage, but Ben is certainly no stranger to the cameras.
Brother of Wonder Year star Fred Savage, Ben started acting at the age of eight.
After co-starring with his brother in the film his beloved son Little giantBen followed in the footsteps of the ABC sitcom Fred, starring in the lead role Boy Meets World in 1993.
Although Savage has had dozens of acting credits since then, it’s probably his work as Corey Matthews that he’s best known for.
Savage went on to earn a degree in political science from Stanford, interning with Senator Arlen Specter as one of the program’s requirements.
Now, at age 42, Savage is looking forward to embarking on a second career as a legislator.
It won’t take long to know what the voters will think of him as a candidate, but he certainly won’t have a problem with name recognition!
