Jordan Fisher was a guest on Monday's episode of Live with Kelly and Ryan to talk about taking over as the titular character in the Tony-winning Broadway musical Dear Evan Hansen.

Fisher told Kelly and Ryan, "We do this thing called 'The Passing of the Polo, so the new Evan will come on stage and he'll hand over the blue polo and we did that yesterday and I cried and he cried it was good."
