Freeman Fisher "Gozzie" Gosden (May

5, 1899 – December 10, 1982) was an American radio comedian, actor and pioneer in the development of the situation comedy form. He is best known for his work for

the radio series Amos 'n' Andy. Gosden was born in Richmond, Virginia, the

son of Emma L. (Smith) and Walter W. Gosden Sr. While attending school in Richmond, Gozzie

worked part-time in Tarrant's Drug Store at 1 West Broad Street. During World War I, he served in the United States Navy as

a wireless operator, which prompted his great interest with the young medium of

radio. During 1921, Gosden first teamed with Charles Correll to do radio work, presenting comedy acts

and hosting variety programs. They had met in Durham, North Carolina,

both working for the Joe Bren Producing Company. Their first regular series was

begun during 1925 with their WEBH Chicago program Correll and Gosden, the Life of

the Party. For this program, the two told jokes, sang, and played music

(Correll played piano and 1926, Gosden and Correll had a success with their radio

program Sam 'n' Henry broadcast

by Chicago radio station WGN. Sam & Henry is considered by

some historians to have been the first situation comedy. From 1928 to 1960,

Gosden and Correll broadcast their program Amos 'n' Andy, which was

one of the most famous and popular radio series of the 1930s. Gosden voiced the

characters "Amos", "George 'Kingfish' "Brother Crawford", and some dozen other

characters. During

1961–1962, Gosden and Correll provided the voices for the animated television

series Calvin and the Colonel broadcast

by American Broadcasting

Company-TV. During

1969, Gosden was honored with a symbolic star shape on the Hollywood Walk of Fame for

his work for radio.[8] During 1974 Gosden was living in Palm Springs, California and was the best man for Frank Sinatra's 1976 wedding to Barbara Marx. During 1977, Gosden was inducted into

the National Association of Broadcasters Hall of Fame along

with Correll.
