"In what could be perceived as another strange comparison, in a sense Andy and Don were like John Lennon and Paul McCartney: each brilliant on their own, but capable of magic when they came together. “There was no other comic duo like them,” offers Daniel. “They were magical and iconic and definitive. The things they did have aged really well. Even if you compare them to one of the all time greats like Bing Crosby and Bob Hope, I think Andy and Don’s work together works as well 60 years later as any of other great comedy duos. Laurel and Hardy, Abbott and Costello, Martin and Lewis — you name it. In a way, because the show is so huge and has this huge fandom, they’re overlooked as a comedy team. But there’s no doubt that they were greater than the sum of their parts.”

“You know, I was just listening to Paul McCartney on an interview,” he closes, “and he was saying what a freaking magical coincidence that he and John Lennon wound up in the same band. You know, two of the greatest songwriters there are. And with Andy Griffith and Don Knotts, it’s kind of a similar, amazing, wonderful happenstance that they met in New York and became friends and just colossal talents together.”
