Mandy Patinkin. "Over The Rainbow" August 18, 1989. David Letterman 

Who else is watching this because of Maggie's (her username: millennial speaker of the house) TikTok about her father being on hospice and how this is her and her father's song. 3/7/24

Maggie’s video sent me here. It’s crazy how one video can lead to another video and it somehow connects us all! Because love and music is a universal language. No politics, no religion, no race , no gender & it doesn’t matter where you come from. Love and music can speak to anyones soul . Thank you Maggie for sharing your beautiful story of you and your father’s bond over this song and performance.

Maggie I hope this song always helps keeps your father close in your heart

Watching 'cause of Maggie!!

Watching because of Maggie’s video wiping away tears. May your father rest in peace

Wow this is so beautiful! This touches your soul, thank you Maggie for talking about this. May your dad rest in peace.

In loving memory of Christopher Carter ❤🌈 ❤

Crying to this beautiful rendition for Maggie and missing my dad on a Friday morning ❤️

Maggie sent me RIP Chris Carter. As someone who is estranged from their father this hit me like a ton of bricks & I'm bawling my eyes out. Absolutely stunning rendition of this song.

Maggie, you father lead us to this beautiful masterpiece!

Thank you Maggie. Thank you Mandy . I needed this. Thinking of you Maggie and your Dad .

I could've never guessed that he had such a voice. I don't know why I didn't know this. I loved him in CSI. I thought his character was riveting. I'm happy to see this video and to see the side of Mandy Patinkin.

Thank you, Maggie, for leading me to this gem!

Wow. Thank you Maggie for telling us about this. May your family find comfort in this.

I’m watching because of Maggie on TIk Tok. amazing

Came to see this in memory of Maggie’s father. This song was my dad’s favorite too and I haven’t listened to it since he passed away 4 years ago.

This has always been my favorite song but never saw this!! Thanks for sharing the love with us Maggie 🫶🏼

That is an amazing version of this song, I am here too because of Maggie. I too am crying

OMG Maggie, thank you. May your dad rest in eternal peace.

Watching because of Maggie, may she have wonderful memories!

RIP Chris Carter. Please, send a rainbow to Maggie if someone up there can manage it.

This is why art and performance is so important. The human capacity to create is precious. Rest well over the rainbow, Maggie’s dad (say hi to my dad) and thank you Mandy Patinkin and all those who share their art with us.

I remember watching this when it aired the first time. I've never heard it done so beautifully

Watching because of Maggie & her recently departed father. RIP Mr. Carter!

I was supposed to see Mandy in concert tonight. I am unable to go and am so sad. It was a dream for me. Maggie’s story helped me put it in perspective. And brought me to this beautiful performance.

Maggie sent me here…..this is for Christopher Carter who is over the rainbow. Thank you Mandy for this song! 💜

I’m rewatching this because of Maggie’s heartfelt video! Love!! ❤️

Maggie sent me. You're in my heart darling girl

This IS!!!! One of THE MOST BEAUTIFUL VERSIONS OF "Over The Rainbow that I HAVE EVER HEARD!!!!!! THANK YOU for uploading this SOOOO MUCH!!!!!!!!!!! I saw this when it originally aired! WONDERFUL!! And have been looking for it for years. I thought it was a lost memory never to be seen or heard from again. YEEEEAAAA!!!!

For sweet Maggie and her sweet dad 💔

I always knew he was a great actor but now I found out he can really sing as well. Lovely rendition.

He has such control!

Blessings to your Dad, and to you Maggie.

Am loving the love for this version and for maggie

Watching for Maggie and her dad.😢 So sorry for her loss 😔

What an amazing voice. Also a very good actor

Saw this live and it blew me away . best of letterman. Mandy blew it out of the water!!!

So very rare, real and shining pure talent.

Yes that’s why I’m here

Best. Version. Of. "Over The Rainbow". EVER.

Simply a beautiful voice MP.

god, i remember this...i feel old

A perfect performance...

Only footage I'd ever watch of the Letterman Show, magnificent voice and outstanding passion.

Rest in peace, Chris Carter.

came for the Inigo, stayed for the beauty

Holy shit Saul. That was amazing

what a soft and kind soul Chris Carter must've been

Got that judy thing going. Not just pretty, but feeling it into the deepest recesses of their being.

Pure Poetry!

Watching for Maggie and her father ❤

Can't believe this was almost 25 years ago. Wow

Most beautiful song and singing

I just found out today he sings. I just remember him from (& loved him in) Criminal Minds. Oh, & of course The Princess Bride. Still can't believe that was him!

SAUL!?!??!

i got chills

Watching for Maggie❤

Gods! I almost did a spit take! Woah!!! This coming from the man who wanted to kill his father's killer?! Jeez man.. Just... Wow...

Maggie was right ❤😢

This is so great! He actually looks a lot like Liev Schreiber, me thinks!

Here because of the viral videon on TikTok. I hope Mandy gets to understand how much this performance meant to Maggie's dad.

Remember seeing this when it aired. Bumped the last guest, I believe.

❤️❤️❤️

Funny. I NEVER KNEW Mandy was a singer. Don't know why I didn't know this. Saw the TT from Maggie and wanted to check it out. Started typing Mandy, and it automatically populated to.... sings Over the Rainbow...🌈... wow...that's crazy

❤ Maggie and dad

Shivers up my spine. The BEST!!

My God! Can this man emote or what?

I thought he was an actor I didn't know he was a VERY BEAUTIFUL SINGER TOO

ONE OF HOLLYWOOD'S & NYCs GREATEST TALENTS. (ALTHOUGH IT LOOKS LIKE THE PRODUCER RANDOMLY SPOTTED HIM OUTSIDE&COAXED HIM TO COME INSIDE) LOL

Thank you, Reddit.

wait, whaaat??? Saul??? wowww. where have you been all my life?

Watching cause of Maggie ❤️

Give it a try, Mandy. Get those wings flapping.

I think I found out he could sing years ago in the play Evita is someone out there can confirm this please do

This makes you honestly feel as though one is honestly riding on a very rainbow. I have sung this back in high school, I won so many contests. Not of any worth as much as his voice at all. Watching him really makes it Magical.

YEEEEAAAA!!!! LARRY BUD MELMAN, The BEST!!!!!!

I watched this live way back in 1989. What was funny was that for WEEKS afterwards Letterman would play the ending "Can't IIIIIIIiiii" part as sort of a running joke.

❤

Maggie sent me here.❤

They need to use this on Homeland at some point.

Nice one Saul

Watching for Maggie

Damn😳

How the hell was this guy not cast as the phantom?

I saw Maggie's tiktok and I came here.

I saw the original broadcast. What this doesn't show is that right before the video starts Dave makes some kind of smart-ass dissmisive joke and Mandy walks straight to the microhpone and blows doors. The applause is Mandy's FU to Dave.

I don't get it - what's the relation between this and Saul Goodman?
