In 1972, “All in the Family”: Six months before Sammy Davis Jr. hugged Richard Nixon at the Republican National Convention, he kissed Americaʹs most lovable bigot. Davisʹs guest appearance raised the groundbreaking sitcomʹs level of racial repartee to new heights. In “Sammyʹs Visit,” Davis comes to Archie Bunkerʹs home to retrieve a briefcase he left in Archieʹs cab. The script captures the mixed feelings someone like Davis might elicit from someone like Archie: Respect (Archie lets Davis sit in “his” chair) and awkwardness (the classic gaffe, “Do you take cream and sugar in your eye?”) mingle with prejudice (Archie refuses to drink a toast from a glass that has touched Davisʹs lips). “If you were prejudiced, youʹd go around thinking youʹre better than anyone else in the world, Archie,” says Davis. “But I can honestly say youʹve proven to me that you ainʹt better than anybody!” This dis is followed by that kiss — planted on a startled Archie. Davis, incidentally, was a huge “AITF” fan; he considered his guest shot here as thrilling as his first big break in showbiz.
