Sammy Davis Jr. Walked Onto Archie Bunker's Set and Kissed His Cheek — What the Laughter Hid

On a soundstage at CBS Television City in Los Angeles, in the winter of 1972, Sammy Davis Jr. stepped into the Bunker living room of All in the Family, and a forgotten briefcase set a quiet moment in motion.

This calm reflection looks at what that laughter was really made of, and why Sammy Davis Jr. treasured the moment long afterward. It is a story about an old grudge, a small act of kindness, and the person you might still reach out to.
