As their conversation goes on, the awkwardness fades as they gradually realize that their old love never completely went away.

And they'll be my friends for the rest of my life.' I said, 'I'm sorry to hear that, David.'" Says Argus Hamilton...
...fees too, to lure more top comics out on the road - launching the comedy - club boom of the 1980s. All of which was part of laying the groundwork for a culture in which comedians turned TV hosts help set the national agenda and have would-be Presidents as guests.
