Freeman Gosden and Charles Correll made their radio debut on January 12, 1926, as the comedic blackface people Sam 'n' Henry. On March 19, 1928, they created Amos 'n' Andy, which continued to be one of the very most popular and longest-running programs in radio record. During the elevation of its reputation, almost the complete country paid attention to the fifteen-minute, Monday-through-Friday escapades of Amos and Andy. Shops open at night piped in the broadcasts so shoppers wouldn't miss an occurrence; movie theaters scheduled their features to end before the beginning of Amos 'n' Andy so they too could tube it in. The people were people of the Mystic Knights of the Sea Lodge, of which George Stevens was "the Kingfish." Amos and Andy ran the Fresh-Air Taxi cab Company, with a lot more stable, married Amos doing most of the task while Andy chased girls. One of the best-remembered sequences was enough time Andy almost wedded Madame Queen. In 1943, after 4,091 quarter-hour shows, it switched to a half-hour every week comedy. As the five-a-week show often had a calm, easygoing feeling, the new version was a brassy Hollywood-style creation, complete with studio room audience, full cast of supporting celebrities, and full orchestra. Many of the half-hour programs were compiled by Joe Connelly and Bob Mosher, later the writing team for Leave It to Beaver and The Munsters. In the new version, Amos became a character to a lot more dominating Andy and Kingfish duo. The brand new Amos 'n' Andy Show endured for another twelve years among the most popular every week programs on radio.
