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.

During World War I, he served in the U.S. Navy as a wireless operator, which prompted his great interest in the young medium of radio.

[citation needed] During 1921, Gosden first teamed with Charles Correll to do radio work, presenting comedy acts and hosting variety programs.

[4] In 1926, Gosden and Correll, who were both White, had success with their radio program Sam 'n' Henry in which the two actors portray black characters in Blackface.

From 1928 to 1960, Gosden and Correll, broadcast their program Amos 'n' Andy – again portraying Black characters – which quickly became one of the most famous and popular[5] radio series of the 1930s, nationwide.
