Amos n Andy - Leroy s Two Week Visit

March 16, 2026·29 min·2 clips

Sapphire's brother Leroy has been living with Kingfish and Sapphire for two weeks, and Kingfish is fed up.

Sunday arrives with sponsor polish. Amos and Andy introduce the new Sunday slot on CBS for Rinse-O, and Solium gets talked up like the answer to laundry itself. Then the apartment problem takes over. Sapphire's brother Leroy has been staying with Kingfish and Sapphire Stevens in New York for two full weeks, and Sapphire is worried. Kingfish is not exactly melting with concern. He suggests calling the morgue to see whether it has any good news, which pretty much explains the household mood. Leroy's visit has made the place tense, with Sapphire pulling toward family duty and George pulling toward any outcome that clears the room. The Rinse-O copy keeps cutting in, with talk of whiter clothes, brighter washable colors, and Solium as the sunlight ingredient worth voting for at the store. Then Shorty gets pulled into it. Kingfish needs $100 to buy the name of the secret melody, a plan that already sounds like trouble in a borrowed suit. Shorty knows this routine. Somehow, every talk with Kingfish ends with Shorty's money moving the wrong way. Kingfish tries to dress it up as friendship. If Shorty lends him money, debt will make Kingfish avoid Shorty and the barbershop. For a second, Shorty can see the appeal. Being avoided might be worth the hundred dollars. Then common sense, or maybe plain scarcity, wins. Shorty backs off, and Kingfish goes hunting for another angle while voting and politics drift through the mess. The ending hands the microphone back to announcements: Religious Book Week, next Sunday's broadcast, Lifebuoy Health Soap, and CBS all get their turn before the curtain drops.
