Tim Moore was a vaudevillian and comic actor of the first half of the 20th century. He gained his greatest recognition in the starring role of George "Kingfish" Stevens in the CBS TV's The Amos 'n' Andy Show.

Alvin Childress was an actor, who is best known for playing the cabdriver Amos Jones in the 1950s television comedy series Amos 'n' Andy.

After the radio version, Amos N Andy, Amos N Andy was still Amos N Andy. Each character still had the same personality for the comedy. They were still funny and kept you laughing. The comedy really didn’t change.
