<< <i>No doubt you love 'da' Kingfish as most folks do!!!!!! >>
When I was young, our family lived in New Orleans and Amos & Andy was still being shown on local TV in late afternoon syndication.
One day we were walking through the French Quarter and came upon an old African American gentleman who had imbibed a few too many and was slumped over on the sidewalk sleeping it off.
My younger brother went up to him wide eyed and asked: "Are you the Kingfish?"
My folks were mortified and hustled us out of the area real quick.

No business strike 1877 nickels, must have been a proof. A proof 60 after being used in so many phone booths. Maybe they took the rare date from the indian cent, but changed it to a nickel so it fit in with the plot of being spent on a phone call. Who knows-----------BigE
those old shows were never meant for tv. old time radio required an imagination that allowed you to create characters that were more amazing and funny then what you see on tv. tv restricts a person too much in my mind. that is why old time radio will never die.
one could walk the streets of a city and listen to the show from window to window during its hey day.

I actually remember seeing this episode on TV when they were still showing it in syndication in the mid-60s.
