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.
Every day, millions of listeners nationwide wake up to Duran and his crew dishing about music, pop culture … pretty much whatever's on their minds. "I've been working with some of the same people for 25-30 years," he said. "The energy with each other is what makes it work. I don't need to be the center of attention."
With 70 markets across the country listening, Duran's a rarity these days – a nationally-known radio DJ.
But it's everyday listeners with whom Duran feels a special bond. He said, "We are in the friendship business. I think about you when you hop in your car in the morning. You're either leaving a house that may be full of turmoil, or going to a job with a boss you don't like. But I have you for 20-30 minutes, and I can be your friend."
