On Jan. 24, Nick Jonas debuted as wily young go-getter J. Pierrepont Fitch in How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying on Broadway, stepping in for Glee star Darren Criss, who replaced original lead Daniel Radcliffe on Jan. 3. When we caught up with Nick at the Drama League’s Benefit Gala honouring Kristin Chenoweth on Feb. 6, the former Jonas Brother had only the highest praise for the production — and his predecessor!

“I saw How to Succeed before I joined, which was amazing,” Nick told HollywoodLife.com exclusively. “I thought Daniel Radcliffe was amazing in the role. I knew the minute I saw it that I wanted to be a part of it.”

As it turns out, the feeling is mutual! On Jan. 31, while guest-hosting Live! with Kelly, Daniel gave kudos to his replacement. The Harry Potter star told co-host Kelly Ripa, ”I saw How to Succeed the other day with Nick Jonas and he’s wonderful in it. It was a real treat to meet him and be able to watch the show.”

We can’t get enough of either Nick or Daniel, and we would love to watch either star sing and dance — and trick — his way up the corporate ladder in How to Succeed!

Daniel Radcliffe has conquered Lord Voldemort and the Broadway stage, but the ‘Harry Potter’ star still has to answer to his girlfriend Rosie Coker.

While co-hosting Live! with Kelly on Jan. 31, Radcliffe revealed that his girlfriend has “given him a two-year deadline — to be a fully-functioning human being!”

It appears Daniel is not always “pleasant to be around,” and needs more than a little help “cleaning up around the house.”

“I have got to work on that,” he tells co-host Kelly Ripa. He then goes on to assure Kelly that his girlfriend is not nearly as bossy as he’s making her out to be!

We love how Daniel is able to laugh about his shortcomings, and we wish him the best in his relationship!
