Charles James Correll (February 2, 1890 – September 26, 1972) was an American radio
comedian, best known for his work on the
Amos 'n' Andy show with
Freeman F. Gosden. Correll voiced the central character of Andy Brown, along with various supporting characters. Correll was born in Peoria, Illinois. Before teaming up with Gosden, he worked as a stenographer and a bricklayer. The two men met in
Durham, North Carolina while working for the Joe Bren Producing Company. Both Correll and Freeman vacationed at
Lake Geneva, Wisconsin in the 1930s and would broadcast
Amos 'n' Andy from there. From 1928 to 1934, the team never took a vacation away from their radio show. To celebrate the 30th anniversary of
Amos 'n' Andy on the air, the broadcast of March 19, 1958 was done by Correll and Gosden using their real voices and calling each other by their real names; this had never been done on the show before.
