![]() SAGAL: That's the word you were searching for. GRODY: I mean, honestly, to this moment - no insult to the young people that love TikTok - I, honest to God, do not understand it. PATINKIN: Yes, it is - I recommend for everyone - you should tell your guests, never do an interview without your family members around. SAGAL: I - it seems as if Kathryn is there with you. That was the whole purpose of our social media. And the next thing he said - can we put this out on your social media, which we began to - with the International Rescue Committee to highlight the plight of refugees and help them have a new beginning. I stopped at a forsythia tree, and he asked us what's going on. PATINKIN: Forty-second anniversary of our first date. KATHRYN GRODY: The 42nd anniversary of our first date. And then we had a fight on our - what anniversary was it, honey? PATINKIN: It is all because of our son Gideon, who has this enjoyment of taking out his cellphone and asking us questions for, I would assume - family archives is what he often says. PATINKIN: Well, that's fairly true on any given day at any given moment. SAGAL: And it seems as if you have no idea what your son has gotten you involved in. I've seen some of the early ones that you did with your wife, Kathryn. We have to talk about your latest form of fame, which is you've become a viral internet star on TikTok. SAGAL: Every thought I had in preparation for this interview has flown out of my head now. PATINKIN: Ladies and gentlemen, Mo Rocca. ROCCA: (Singing) But who is this Santa Evita? ROCCA: (Singing) Falling over ourselves to get all of the misery right. PATINKIN: (Singing) We've all gone crazy, mourning all day and mourning all night, falling over ourselves to get all. Argentina has gone to town over the death of an actress called Eva Peron. SAGAL: Mo, do you still know the lyrics to the Che part in "Evita"? I tried to get you twice, and you were busy. I've had your number in my book ever since. PATINKIN: Your mother had called me about this years ago. I need him to know that he can get in touch with me in case he needs to take the night off so all those people aren't disappointed, and I can be a 12-year-old Che Guevara in "Evita." So I just want you to know that I'm available. What if Mandy Patinkin is sick one night and can't be in the show, and people show up? And I know all the lyrics to Che. And I didn't know how professional theater worked. I learned every single lyric of the musical "Evita." I became obsessed with it. Because you don't know this, but when I was 12, we had a very intense relationship. ROCCA: Can I talk to you about your musical theater life? And then all of a sudden, it became what it became. And then people in college started watching it, and they told their kids, and their kids told their kids. ![]() And then I heard that other movies had that similar treatment, like "The Wizard Of Oz" and many other films. But then the movie came out, and nobody saw it. PATINKIN: And I wish I had it now (laughter). PATINKIN: Yeah, I had - well, actually, back then, I - half - three-quarters of it was my own hair. You know, William Goldman wrote the greatest sword fighter ever, so I had the task of learning to be a sword fighter, which was sort of like a sporting event - very much like a sporting event. Did you guys have any idea when you made that that this was going to be, like, this cultural touchstone for, like, the rest of your lives? It was the late '80s - '88, around there. That movie came out - God, I was just out of college. SAGAL: (Laughter) There are worse things to be known for. Now, for people who don't know, of course, you played Inigo Montoya, progenitor of the famous line - do you want to go ahead and say it? MANDY PATINKIN: I would say the most common - aren't you that guy from "The Princess Bride" is probably the thing that happens the most. The married actors started doing videos at the urging of their son and became social media stars just by being hilariously themselves.īILL KURTIS: Peter began by asking Mandy, after four decades of performing, what role is he most recognized for? I don't know if anybody had more fun during the pandemic than Mandy Patinkin and Kathryn Grody. ![]()
