Back in June, veteran actor Henry Winkler appeared on โ€œThe Rich Eisen Showโ€ to promote his hit TV show โ€œBarryโ€ when he took the interview in a completely different direction. The โ€œHappy Daysโ€ star went on to profess his unabashed fandom for Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes.

Winkler went on to call Mahomes one of his โ€œheroesโ€ and went on to invite him to try a chicken spinach recipe with him next time heโ€™s in L.A. This week, Mahomes returned the invitation on Richโ€™s show as he was shown Henryโ€™s clip from this past Summer. Itโ€™s so great to see a beloved figure like Winkler showing respect for Mahomesโ€™ ability and for that to be returned as well.

Mahomes even invited Winkler to attend the Chiefs/Chargers game later this season in Los Angeles.
