immediately brought back down to earth with the birth of his son. They are scheduled to do a "Hello Fellas" feature film, but, realising they must try to break the "Hello Fellas" image, the guys renegotiate their deal with MGM and do a movie with their own material. The movie is rejected by the public who prefer to see them in drag and by critics who urge them to stick to television. Kenny, who has been retreating further and further into his own inner reality, says goodbye to a life and a world he no longer feels a part of. With Kenny's death, the team is shattered. Ted decides to go back to New York, and take stock of his life, knowing that he must deal with the world, alone and without any illusions. Phil stays in L.A. and continues as a prime-time TV star in his own series, "Hello, Comrade," about a CIA agent in Russia in drag. In New York City, Ted opens up his own comedy club, called "Klausterman's" where he can do what he does best and introduce young new comics along the way. As the lights dim, Ted introduces a new comic. The show ends. Another story begins.
