=== 1996–1999 ===
'''''Elvis Duran and The Morning Show''''' (formerly known as '''''The Z Morning Zoo''''') is the name of an American syndicated radio program hosted by [[Elvis Duran]]. The daily morning radio show currently airs on New York [[Top 40]] station [[WHTZ|Z100]]. The show is also syndicated through [[Premiere Radio Networks]] on over 40 radio stations nationwide in such cities such as [[Philadelphia]], [[Atlanta]], [[Miami]], [[Cleveland]], [[Fort Myers]], [[Richmond, Virginia|Richmond]], [[Dayton, Ohio|Dayton]], [[Des Moines]], [[Davenport, Iowa|Davenport]] and [[Portsmouth]]. The show currently airs live every weekday from 6am-10am Eastern, 5am-9am on some stations. The show runs delayed in other time zones at different times depending on the station. A "Best of" show runs every Saturday morning (on most stations).
The popular "[[morning zoo]]" format began in 1981 at [[WRBQ-FM]] of Tampa, after which it was brought to WHTZ in 1983 by concept co-originator [[Scott Shannon]]. The format was widely employed, even being implemented at WHTZ's sister station in [[Cleveland]], rock-formatted [[WMMS]]. The morning zoo formula at WHTZ lasted until 1994.


The show began on Z100 New York in 1996. Much of the original show members like Elvis Duran, Danielle Monaro, Skeery Jones and Scotty B are still cast members to this day.
==History==


Although the show was originally called Elvis and Elliot in the Morning, [[Elliot Segal]] left the show in August 1999, to host ''Elliot in the Morning'' on [[WWDC (FM)]].
While it was not created at WHTZ, the popular [[morning zoo]] format became a widely-employed morning show concept based on its success at Z100 - even to the point of being implemented at Malrite's sister station in [[Cleveland]], rock-formatted [[WMMS]]. Essentially, the Morning Zoo formula was grafted onto their already successful morning show, and lasted until 1994.


=== 2000–2010 ===
The Morning Show features Danielle's "Sleaze Report,"
[[File:EDURLogo.png|thumb|250px|Logo from 2005 to 2022]]
"[[Phone Taps]]" (prank calls to an unsuspecting friend or relative of a listener), stunts performed by Greg T "The Round Headed Frat Boy"), Song Parodies, various contests, news and traffic reports (not available in syndication).
The show began to be syndicated to WHCY-FM in 2003.


[[Christine Nagy]] left the show in January 2005, now at [[WLTW]].
The show began syndication on May 22, 2006, starting with [[WHYI]] Y100 in [[Miami, Florida]], followed by [[WIOQ]] Q102 in [[Philadelphia]] on July 23, 2008 and began airing on Cleveland's Kiss FM on Aug 25th 2008. They are now on in over 40 markets.


Also, in 2005 Carolina Bermudez and Froggy joined the show.
Until May 2008 the show was known as "Elvis Duran and The (Y/Z) Morning Zoo", but the "Zoo" references were replaced with "Show" by July, to make it more marketable to new affiliates that do not use a letter in their name, like Z100 and Y100. This was done because they were beginning to broadcast on WIOQ in Philadelphia along with other stations.


The show began national syndication on May 22, 2006, starting with [[WHYI-FM]] [[Fort Lauderdale]]/Miami, then [[WIOQ]] [[Philadelphia]] on July 22, 2008, and [[WAKS]] [[Cleveland]] on August 25, 2008, with approximately 75 stations<ref>{{cite web |title=Stations |url=http://common.prndigital.com/affiliatemap/elvis_duran |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120417034308/http://common.prndigital.com/affiliatemap/elvis_duran |archive-date=April 17, 2012 |access-date=July 23, 2016 |website=Common.prndigital.com}}</ref> now carrying the show after Clear Channel's [[Premiere Radio Networks]] began to offer the program nationally in March 2009.
In March 2009, Premiere Radio Networks added Elvis Duran and the Morning Show to its lineup of nationally syndicated radio programs.


Until May 2008 the show was known as "Elvis Duran and The (Y/Z) Morning Zoo".<ref>{{Cite web|title=so long Elvis Duran and the Morning Zoo...|url=https://www.radiodiscussions.com/threads/so-long-elvis-duran-and-the-morning-zoo.535034/|access-date=February 18, 2021|website=radiodiscussions.com|language=en-US}}</ref> With the addition of more stations, the word "Zoo" was replaced with "Show" to be more generic and to not conflict with other morning shows in other potential affiliate cities that might have a "Zoo" show.
On March 22, 2010 longtime DJ of WHTZ and co-host of Elvis Duran and The Morning Show, John Bell announced it was his final show.


[[John Bell (radio personality)|John Bell]] left the show on March 22, 2010.
On May 29, 2012 Carolina Bermudez announced that she will be leaving the show to pursue a career opportunity in television at the end of June 2012.

Elvis Duran and the Morning Show (formerly known as The Z Morning Zoo) is an American syndicated weekday morning radio program hosted by Elvis Duran. The show originates from the studios of Newark-licensed WHTZ in New York City, a Top 40 outlet branded as "Z100". The show is also syndicated through Premiere Radio Networks in over 80 markets such as Philadelphia, Miami, Cleveland, and Richmond, Virginia.[1] The live show had previously been available in Canada via Toronto's now-defunct Proud FM. The live airing of the show is weekdays from 6 to 10 a.m. Eastern time, with most Central markets airing it live from 5 to 9 am, and other time zones further west taking the show on delay. Some stations, including WAZR, KCRZ, and WXXX, air a 5 am "pre-show" (two pre-recorded segments and a phone tap) before the actual show. A "best of the week" compilation show is also carried on Saturday mornings by some stations.

Overview and casting

1996–1999

The popular "morning zoo" format began in 1981 at WRBQ-FM of Tampa, after which it was brought to WHTZ in 1983 by concept co-originator Scott Shannon. The format was widely employed, even being implemented at WHTZ's sister station in Cleveland, rock-formatted WMMS. The morning zoo formula at WHTZ lasted until 1994.

The show began on Z100 New York in 1996. Much of the original show members like Elvis Duran, Danielle Monaro, Skeery Jones and Scotty B are still cast members to this day.

Although the show was originally called Elvis and Elliot in the Morning, Elliot Segal left the show in August 1999, to host Elliot in the Morning on WWDC (FM).

2000–2010

[edit]
Logo from 2005 to 2022

The show began to be syndicated to WHCY-FM in 2003.

Christine Nagy left the show in January 2005, now at WLTW.

Also, in 2005 Carolina Bermudez and Froggy joined the show.

The show began national syndication on May 22, 2006, starting with WHYI-FM Fort Lauderdale/Miami, then WIOQ Philadelphia on July 22, 2008, and WAKS Cleveland on August 25, 2008, with approximately 75 stations[2] now carrying the show after Clear Channel's Premiere Radio Networks began to offer the program nationally in March 2009.

Until May 2008 the show was known as "Elvis Duran and The (Y/Z) Morning Zoo".[3] With the addition of more stations, the word "Zoo" was replaced with "Show" to be more generic and to not conflict with other morning shows in other potential affiliate cities that might have a "Zoo" show.

John Bell left the show on March 22, 2010.

According to an Instagram post from Elvis Duran, Uncle Johnny passed away on May 3, 2024.
