Mandy Patinkin Interview interupted 

So much respect to the reporter that just get up and leave. He knows what’s important in life.

Apparently according to the father, a few months after their child was born he received a package containing a kiddush cup with their child’s name engraved on it and a handwritten note from Mandy Patinkin 😊

I love how he goes from zero to Jewish Grandpa that fast

I love his joy about the reporter's wife having a baby. And the way he says "Mazel Tov!" Oh my heart.

I really love how the interview completely got derailed by the host's wife going in labor and not only does Mandy not mind, but he's constantly asking about the baby.

Mandy Patinkin, a man who acted alongside Andre the Giant in one of the most beloved movies of all time: *THIS IS THE MOST EXCITING THING THAT’S EVER HAPPENED TO ME!* 😃

I think I just fell in love with this man, Mandy needs to be protected, at all times, at any cost.

My dad is a retired actor, he worked with Mandy Patinkin for years and my dad speaks so fondly of him and how good of an actor and person he was. ❤

My son was born on 12/14/12!!! I remember watching this and hoping he'd come soon cuz I was laughing so hard at this interview!! Love Mandy so much!!!

I love how he is so excited about the guy's wife having a baby. He must be the nicest dad ever, hahah.

Congrats to that guy. Mr. Patinkin seems really genuine. A real guy, not some pompous stereotype actor.

What a wonderful reaction. "I have people that will help me call you." I love that.

it's really telling how he really doesn't give a damn about his show and can't concentrate on the promotion of it anymore. he's really a beautiful human being!

I had the opportunity to meet Mandy Patinkin just yesterday, and I did. It was a great experience. Such a nice guy!

Haha I love how the woman tried to get going with the interview and asked him about Homeland but he just kept on talking about the baby.

What an awesome guy. He seems so positive and genuine. The world needs more folks like him.

Naaaw, Mandy really seems to be frankly happy about the guy and his baby. That is very nice, kind and human - Beautiful moment! Thank you for sharing!

Mandy Patinkin is a great singer, great actor, and apparently a nice and genuine person. I love him in Homeland. He's my favorite on the show.

Mandy is amazing! I love him! He is the definition of genuine and humble.

Such a nice NICE man. He just isn't willing to be derailed from the baby back to himself. He answers only what he has to while showing that he'd really rather be talking baby. That man knows what is truly important. ❤️❤️❤️

You can tell he's thinking, "i can't wait to tell my wife about this!"

That look on his face at 1:26 is one of genuine wonder. What an endearing man.

Bless Mandy Patinkin. This is a beautiful moment.

What a genuinely sweet guy. Either that or a great actor. Probably both.

God his joy is absolutely contagious

My name is Mandy Patinkin, that guy is going to be a father- prepare to cry!

I rewatched this vid and I love it so much! Mandy is so frankly excited and happy and the poor lady tries SO hard to make him talk about himself but he is too enthusiastic about the guy and his baby. Wonderful vid!

I'm trying to picture Saul breaking out into an excited outburst like this on the show... "Carrie, you've decided to run away with Brody? OH MY GOD! Isn't this exciting? How thrilling! We're having a baby!"

What a lovely and genuine man with such a beautiful singing voice. I have always enjoyed his acting.

Love this man's humility..

Hahaha I can just imagine the producer in her ear: "Get him back on track, you're losing him, come on, COME ON"

Had a chat with Mandy a couple of days ago at Auckland Airport, a really decent cool guy, gave me good advice for our trip to NYC next year.

Mandy Patinkin reminds me of my Uncle Ted!! Always happy, genuinely kind, and loving!! 😊😊

"we wish Jackie well if she's watching right now"..... The woman is in labour....

already had great respect and awe of Mandy Patinkin, This is such a great interview! and now considering a tv binge watch of Homeland after watching this interview.

Mandy is simply the coolest man

THE UNEDITED VERSION

"Oh my god how thrilling!"

What a fantastic person! I love this man!

have you noticed how the female anchor was clutching on the guy's hand when he was trying to leave? she won't let go!

Mandy was so gracious! He was also genuinely excited for the host :-)

Damm this dude has a very large wide angled mouth. Imagine the bites he takes out of waffles.

Great interview, even before the baby so rudely interrupted it,( lol). I love the multi talented Mandy Patinkin & he somehow puts some invisible hat on and truly becomes "Saul" every week. AND MY HEARTFELT CONGRATS TO THE NEW PARENTS. "12-12-12 Play Lotto". What NYC reaction. Love it! 💙

I love how excited Mandy gets when he finds out the other reporter is going to have a baby! He said that’s the most exciting thing that has happened to him! I love his joy! Awe!

I love how thrilled he is! He is so adorable! ♥ Mandy!

Great actor and sings like an angel!

Imagine Mandy Patinkin getting excited over your own birth

We must protect this man at all cost

I can never see both real-life Mandy and movie-character Mandy. He's just so different than any of his roles.

One of my favorite actors, love the interview

He;s such a sweetheart reacting like that.

I want him to be my grandpa!

“Hello. My name is Inigo Montoya. You’re now a father. Prepare to cry.”

Apparently he sent the reporter and his wife a baby gift too

This video makes me so happy 🥰 I love Mandy. Was truly gutted when he left criminal minds. Did he say his sons name is Gideon too, love it!

Such a beautiful human being!!!

Mandy's excitement gives me joy.

He's such a down to earth and geuine guy , Bless his soul , love you Gideon , Agent Hotchner you suck

I've loved Mandy Patinkin since Elmo in Grouchland. Here's to better days once again (Gulp, tears... sleep).

This is incredibly heart-warming. There are a TON of celebrities who, if put in this position, would make sure the host never worked again.

he’s so precious. he’s just so excited🥺

And this is why I love Mandy Patinkin

The lady has handled the guest so well..

SO nice to see Mandy Patinkin so happy!! (he often plays angry/frustrated characters) so nice to see his genuine joy!

I've enjoyed this so much! Thank you beautiful human❤😂🎉.

This may be my favorite video of all time.

This is one of the purest videos on the internet.

I love Mandy's reaction. He is so cool.

This is the best thing I´ve seen today!

This is just ten ways of awesome sauce. I love his laugh!!! This makes me love him even more!

Aw man, congrats for the host. Mandy is so freaking adorable! We love you Mandy :D

Mandy is amazing, he is truly the star of the show Homeland!!!

Mandy is so down to earth! Such a decent man!!

There's not many actors that would react like that, what a great guy! :P

I read in Twitter that about a couple of weeks later, the reporter h his wife received a package from Mr. Patinkin: An engraved small silver cup. What a guy!

OH THIS IS THRILLING

What a great reaction!

Love Mandy, what a passionate human being!

Mandy patinkin is a national treasure

12/12/12 was the day the baby was born, also the same day brody went missing after the langley bomb in homeland

He’s such a nice fella. I like his grandpa instincts 😄👏👏👏

What a charming man

And that kid is 8 years old now. I wonder if his dad ever showed him this clip?

I discover how good this man is! A Jewish guy who is also aware of what's happening in Israel.. And who fights for peace, a good man. 👏👏

Wow! Never happened before. Somehow, Patinkin is very close to LIFE itself. A kind of divine intervention.

I love this man.

So sweet!

"I have people that will help me call you!" lolololololol

Aww man! I was trying not to fall in love with him but then I went and clicked on this... Patti LuPone is so blessed to have him as her platonic soul mate.

I am that kid! My name is Eli Price, and I am 9 years old.

So cute. Mandy Patinkin!!

He’s definitely one of the nicest men in the world!! 😄

a gem

This is so wholesome ❤

"Did you ever take your child to a broadway show?" "Can you tell us something funny that happened with that?" thats the worst setup to a guest's story

first thing you do when going into labour is E-MAIL the husband! not text or call but E-MAIL!!

this made me smile so hard

Love Mandy Patinkin!

He's so pleasant!

i wonder how if it's hard for Mandy to play Saul they have such opposite personalities. I saw an interview of the actress who plays Dr. Melfi on the sopranos saying it took so much for her to get in character and play such a reserved person bc she is the complete opposite. i wonder if it's the same for Mandy
