KELLY RIPA AND MICHAEL STRAHAN STUN "HOMELAND" STAR MANDY PATINKIN WITH TWO HUGE SURPRISES ON "LIVE WITH KELLY AND MICHAEL," WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 19, 2014

New York, NY - February 18, 2014 - This Wednesday, February 19, 2014, on "LIVE with Kelly and Michael," hosts Kelly Ripa and Michael Strahan stun unsuspecting "Homeland" star MANDY PATINKIN with two huge surprises during a new interview recently taped for the show.

Last December, as Patinkin sat down with the hosts, a viewer named Sandy wrote in during the live broadcast to say Patinkin was the first boy she had ever kissed. Strahan read the message on-air, and Patinkin remembered his young crush immediately, exclaiming, "I've been looking for her, she was the greatest!" On Wednesday, the Golden Globe-nominated actor returns to discuss the Oscar(R)-nominated film "The Wind Rises," and the hosts have a big surprise in store - an on-air reunion with his childhood girlfriend, Sandy! But that's not all - Patinkin is shocked and thrilled when the hosts reveal a second, even bigger not-to-be-missed surprise later in the show.
