About the Host
More than eight million weekly listeners consider Elvis Duran the host of the party on his national radio program, Elvis Duran and the Morning Show, the most listened to Top 40 morning show in the United States.
Spanning over 30 years, Elvis’ radio career has included various hosting gigs and program director duties at Philadelphia’s WIOQ and Austin’s KBTS, as well as stints at Z-93 in Atlanta and KRBE in Houston. In April 1996, he launched his now world-famous Z100 radio show in New York, resulting in a national deal in March 2009 with the country’s leading radio syndication company, Premiere Networks, a subsidiary of iHeartRadio.
Throughout his career, Elvis has received numerous accolades from the radio industry and beyond. Having earned the industry’s respect and admiration, Elvis was inducted into the prestigious National Radio Hall of Fame in 2015 and the National Association of Broadcasters’ National Broadcasting Hall of Fame in 2018.
Elvis made his debut as a published author with Atria Books and Simon & Schuster in October 2019, with the release of his memoir, Where Do I Begin? Stories of a Life Lived Out Loud. In the highly anticipated autobiography, Elvis shares his wildest stories and hardest lessons learned, all with his trademark heart, honesty and wicked sense of humor.
Throughout his life, Elvis has always been a committed philanthropist. He’s a major contributor to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, the Staten Island Zoo Annual Endowment and The Robin Hood Foundation. As an advocate for the LGBTQ community, Elvis supports The Trevor Project and works closely with GLAAD (Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation). In 2012, Elvis served as an event chair of the GLAAD Manhattan Awards and was honored for his contributions to the LGBTQ community.
Elvis has tremendous appreciation and respect for the millions of listeners who have made him who he is today. In addition to interacting with them daily on his radio show, he chats with them directly via social media on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter.
