Elvis Duran on the magic of radio and his special bond with listeners
If the annual Jingle Ball at New York’s Madison Square Garden is the Super Bowl of holiday concerts, then Elvis Duran is in the role of head coach. From introducing acts like Olivia Rodrigo, to mingling with pop princesses (“Sabrina Carpenter, everyone!”), and interviewing rock royalty like Cher, on this day, this Elvis is king.
But he says being interviewed for TV is different for him: “I’m not a camera guy, I’m a radio guy,” he said.
If you don’t recognize his face, you may know his voice. Since 1996 the 60-year-old disc jockey has been host of “Elvis Duran and the Morning Show,” the country’s most popular Top 40 morning program. “I can’t believe it’s been 30 years, because it’s been nothing but fun,” he said.
