Amos 'n' Andy, still written entirely by the two
stars, was the top-rated program of all in 1930, with a 54.4 rating and 30
million listeners (compare that to the Super Bowl's 44.2 rating in 2004). By
this time, the wily, coniving Kingfish was becoming a major personality,
eventually supplanting sensible Amos as star of the show (Freeman Gosden gave
voice to both characters while Charles Correll played Andrew H. Brown).
