Amos 'n' Andy was an American radio sitcom about Black characters that began as one of the first radio comedy series. The show's protagonist, Amos Jones, was played by Freeman Gosden, while the character of Andrew Hogg Brown was played by Charles Correll. The duo also voiced incidental characters in the show. Initially set in Chicago and later in the Harlem section of New York City, the narrative revolved around the lives and various misadventures of Amos and Andrew. Amos was depicted as a hardworking family man, while Andrew was portrayed as a gullible dreamer with a penchant for get-rich-quick schemes. On television, Black actors took over the majority of the roles; white characters were infrequent.

Amos 'n' Andy was first broadcast on WMAQ in Chicago on March 19, 1928, and later aired on NBC and CBS Radio and Television. The show had a successful run in multiple formats, airing as a nightly radio serial from 1928 to 1943, a weekly situation comedy from 1943 to 1955, and a nightly disc-jockey program from 1954 to 1960. The television adaptation ran on CBS from 1951 to 1953 and continued in syndicated reruns from 1954 to 1966. The national radio audience was estimated at 40 million, comprised of Americans from a variety of races and national backgrounds. Despite being created and originally portrayed by white actors Gosden and Correll, the show held a significant place in American old-time radio culture during its 34-year run. Amos 'n' Andy continues to be remembered as a significant milestone in early 20th-century entertainment.
