The intensity and conviction that Ernestine Wade did with playing the part of Sapphire, she should have been awarded an Emmy.
This was a great show that was ahead of its time. I don't care what the NAACP said.
When I was growing up in the 50's, Amos and Andy were my go to AM radio show for laughs! Also listened to other radio shows back in the day!
However, Amos and Andy were funniest of the moment on AM. Never thought anything about the color of their skin back then! They just made me laugh in my young youth years. Still make me laugh 60 years later!
Your right..
A lot of the cast members felt the same way. Alvin Childress, who played Amos, said it was the first program that showed black lawyers, black businessmen, black college professors, etc.
It was the times. We were hurting.
kingfish made the mistake of telling others. my brother and I watched these shows living in the white suburbs of Los Angeles. We loved these guys.
Great episodes. They should have named it the Kingfish Show.
brilliant. Thanks so much for continuing to share.
😅😅 maaaaaan look.. I swear I would've watched this back when I was a kid.. I loved watching late night Honeymooners reruns as a kid, and this would have been right up there with it for me..

love this show remember when i was young great acting thank you for sharing
Dr. Kingfish, doctorate in conning people out of things, lol
All he had to do was offer about $10 for the coin and cash out. But that wouldn't have been fun.
say what you want.. .at least it was an all black cast.. which is more than what would happen in 2021
Seems to be a lot more this series portrayed
Amos or Andy whichever was not black. He was actually white and they used makeup to make him appear black. That's what I didn't like about this show
@@latrieceb3619 they've done that in a lot of shows I don't know what they were afraid of..
@@latrieceb3619
Amos was very light complected but soon after the episodes started he asked for theatrical makeup to be discontinued and they obliged him.
Research before making statements as facts. That's what I do.
This was a funny show, I don't care what anybody says. Shoulda been called "Kingfish and Andy" actually...

Well, that's exactly what the radio show became by the end of the 1940's (of which most of the TV scripts were adapted from). The plots were essentially variations on "How will the Kingfish try to outsmart Andy *this* week?"
@@fromthesidelines You're correct that Kingfish had pretty much eclipsed Amos by the time they moved to television. However, Kingfish didn't victimize Andy as much on the radio show. The shows' usually involved him trying to help Andy out of some dilemma, or vice-versa.
The pilot episode. What a great team of actors who made the show perfect in the world of comedy.

Filmed in December 1950. However, this was scheduled as the fourth episode, on July 19, 1951.

7:10 lol I never seen the Kingfish break character like that and laugh before.. he did it twice on both ears. 😆 I could never do a comedy show because it would never get done..
Great show very funny.
Nickelectomy lol!!
Love that Andy got revenge on the Kingfish!
A favorite.
WOW!!! THAT'S RILEY FROM AMEN!!!AS HENRY!!!👍👍👍👍
Yes that's deacon Rollie from AMEN. Jester Hairston.
"Henry Van Porter" was played by Jester Hairston. The "police detective", by Roy Glenn.
Thank you I'm going to Google them
You're welcome.
Jester Hairston is probably best remembered for his role as Rolly Forbes on "Amen." He was also an accomplished gospel songwriter.
@@citizenken7069 The scene in
In Heat of the Night when Sidney Poitier slapped the shit out of racist old white man!
What an incredibly full life Jester Hairston had!
Amos N Andy is the very first victim of cancel culture back in the 50s way before the Civil Rights Bill has passed in 1964.There is nothing degrading about this show.The Humour is no different than Sanford and Son or Good Times.Even though the show originate in mistrel radio show this old tv show should be a classic like I love Lucy and Hooneymoon
I wouldn't link this to cancel culture but the NAACP needs to apologize. This show showed black Americans being investors, doctors and bankers, not just maids. This was 100% comedy and nothing degrading about humor unless they wanted people to live a unstimulating life. Maybe, the NAACP had too many religious people early outreach missions.
Well I beg to differ I was watching these shows in the late fifties and early 60s . These shows were not canceled in the fifties for sure . But I don't know exactly the date . I will Google the date of the NAACP Initiative to cancel these shows

It's interesting that the largest array of buffonery black folks are on the music videos (mainly rap but others) that have been created since 1990s.
There is nothing degrading about talking like king fish does… Please.
The phone booth scene is why I keep watching this one.
Great slapstick comedy.
Anyone who does not like this has no sense of humor.
Very funny phone booth scene!!
God, I love these guys.
This was a very very funny show.But it reallly had to go because Jim Crow were still dominating much of the country.I remember that in my part of the country,which was considered liberal,the only in one large department store,the only African Americans allowed to work there ran the elevators.
Lol...Kingfish got that got that thing on his head..backwards..
"THAT" was a good one!!
Just watched this and was cringing in parts,but the ending had me laughing so much!
Hey, hey ,hey dee Andy got o'ber dee Kingfish agin. Serves dee kingfish right
I like what on critic said: "The show was funny, and not just for the wrong reasons." True, some of it was heavily stereotyped, but it was funny in spite of that.
@@citizenken7069 and it portrayed the charters as normal responsible citizens excepting present company of course duh kingfish
Finally!! What the hell was Amos and Andy. Oh!
It was a very funny show and should not have been cancelled!! Witty comedy. They did them wrong to cancel. Since that time there has never been a show where EVERY actor is black in the entire show.
I don't think this King Fish fellow is a very good friend...
A fool and his money shall soon part
Someone must explain to me why Amos and Andy is racially insensitive but Sanford and Son isn't.
Kingfish you are such a thief but I love this show
Hilarious
WOW.. just WOW
Funny funny funny
Associate producer.. Henry Fonda
Jester Hairston from amen.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
I really see nothing wrong with this show? It's comedy and very funny. A few scenes could be questionable? But No it's not over the top. The chimistry is great and their funny
Why calhoun last name the name of an aboriginal nation
Algonquin was Cslhoun's first name.
That doesn't sound like Kingfish.Earlier episode? What gives?
Black police, black detective, black judge, black business owners, black employees, seems to me the only people playing a role are King fish, Amos, and Andy. Very obvious to me that they are definitely speaking the way they do, because it was scripted as such. Was this the only way the studio would produce this kind of television show?
It was written by two white guys who before voiced Amos and Andy, it’s all kinds of fucked up its like a rebranded minstrel. I will admit I have laughed a couple of time but after I did my research it was clear to see this show should have been canceled. Things can be funny and wrong and people are entitled to wanting better representation
@@elizahhoward3923 RIGHT ON👏!!!
@@elizahhoward3923 white guys ? Or holly wood Djews?
@@deansheridan google it fam
@@deansheridan it’s right there at your fingertips just look up who are the writers for Amos and Andy, they originally voiced the show for the radio imitating “black” men
Ads come I leave
FF the ads..
1st 😆
Very talented comedy actors. But racist. Our country has a sad history and trump wants to bring it back. Be careful he’s running again.
