"Amos 'n' Andy" was an American radio sitcom that originally aired from 1928 to 1960. Created, written, and voiced by white actors Freeman Gosden and Charles Correll, the show followed the lives of two black characters, Amos Jones (Gosden) and Andrew Hogg Brown (Correll). Beginning as a nightly radio serial, it later transitioned to a weekly situation comedy and then to a nightly disc-jockey program. The show also had a television adaptation on CBS from 1951 to 1953, with black actors taking over the roles.

Gosden and Correll met in 1920 and started their radio careers in Chicago before launching "Amos 'n' Andy" in 1928. Although criticized for relying on racial stereotypes and its blackface origins, the show became a national sensation, particularly during the 1930s. Its nationwide audience was estimated at 40 million, and the show's influence on American entertainment is undeniable. The end of its run coincided with changing perceptions of its portrayal of racial stereotypes.
