New Amos and Andy TV Debut to Feature All-Negro Cast
CBS plans a filmed version of Amos n Andy with an all Negro cast next fall to replace the radio duo. Gosden and Correll explain they will not star to avoid miscasting and to preserve the look of the characters. A half hour weekly program is expected, while the radio version remains popular with about 25 million listeners. Charlie Hankinson, nine, is named as young sports analyst on WNEW, praising baseball knowledge and hoping to become Red Sox owner someday. Mutual signs three hours plus, and Jack Paar replaces Eddie Cantor on Take It or Leave It. Cantor shifts to television.
