==Radio== [[File:Durante-Moore Show.jpg|right|thumb|With [[Garry Moore]] in the "Durante-Moore Show" (1943β1947)]] [[File:Jimmy durante 1935.JPG|thumb|Durante on ''The Jumbo Fire Chief Program'', 1935]] On September 10, 1933, Durante appeared on [[Eddie Cantor]]'s NBC radio show, ''[[The Chase and Sanborn Hour]]'', continuing until November 12 of that year. When Cantor left the show, Durante took over as its star from April 22 to September 30, 1934. He then moved on to ''[[The Jumbo Fire Chief Program]]'' (1935β1936). Durante teamed with [[Garry Moore]] for ''[[The Durante-Moore Show]]'' in 1943. Durante's comic chemistry with the young, brush cut Moore brought Durante an even larger audience. "Dat's my boy dat said dat!" became an instant [[catchphrase]], which would later inspire the cartoon ''[[Augie Doggie and Doggie Daddy]]''. The duo was one of the nation's favorites for the rest of the decade. Their [[Armed Forces Radio Network]] ''[[Command Performance (radio series)|Command Performance]]''<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.otr.net/?p=cmdp|title=Command Performance at OTR.Network (Old Time Radio)|website=Otr.net}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.otr.net/r/cmdp/107.ram|title=''Command Performance'' 1947-02-30, Carole Landis, Frank Sinatra, Jimmy Durante (Real Audio)|website=Otr.net|access-date=February 10, 2025}}</ref> with [[Frank Sinatra]] remains a favorite of radio-show collectors today. Moore left the duo in mid-1947, and the program returned October 1, 1947 as ''[[The Jimmy Durante Show (radio program)|The Jimmy Durante Show]]''. Durante continued the show for three more years and featured a reunion of Clayton, Jackson, and Durante on his April 21, 1948 broadcast.
