Great book. I loved the stories. How real he truly seems. And how humble he is.
This autobiography about my favorite radio talk show host Elvis Duran earns 5 stars. Listening to the audiobook and hearing his voice tell his story made it that much better.
I have listened to Elvis Duran and the morning show for years. I flipped to this station for every morning commute. The show’s laughs, phone-taps, and stories provide endless entertainment in the morning. Elvis Duran is the least famous, famous person. For someone who makes millions each year he is extremely relatable. The advice he weaves throughout his personal story had me thinking about my own life.
I still have yet to find Elvis Duran on my local RI stations so if anyone knows what number it is, please let me know.

Loved this! I’ve been listening to Elvis on Z100 since I was a kid! Love him, love his show and the whole cast of characters he’s got with him! His book was so thoughtful, it dealt with many issues: gay rights, women’s rights, our ever changing world and how we view issues. The chapter on 9/11 literally made me cry my eyes out. The best way to describe this book: a love letter to the radio industry, NYC, and most importantly to himself. He was a shy gay man who came up in radio starting in the 70s/80s, and it really took him so long to love and appreciate himself.... and that’s a struggle that is just so quintessentially human. He’s not just a celebrity, he’s a full fledged human being with feelings, struggles and opinions like the rest of us. He left it all out on the table here, and I applaud him for it. It was so awesome listening to this on my commute, I don’t always go to work in time for his show, so I had my own little Elvis time for the past week.
I love the radio show and just knew I would like this biography. Elvis does a fantastic job of opening up, telling his story, and making you feel as though you are a part of it. While he may not have meant to teach you lessons along the way, he does. Thank you!
I’m an avid big show listener. I loved the fact that Elvis gave us so much more about himself that I at least never recall hearing on the morning show. We need more Elvis !!
Sooooo good. Whether you’ve listened to Elvis once or ten thousand times this book is amazing! Great story with even more amazing messages!
Growing up in NJ, I’ve listened to Elvis Duran’s morning show as far back as I can remember, dating back to “Elvis, Elliot and the Z-morning zoo”. If you are a fan like I am you will most likely enjoy this book. Sure, there was a lot in the book that I already knew from growing up listening to the show, but there were other things I didn’t know, and a lot of details I’ve missed.
This isn’t a tell-all so don’t expect to find gossip, and anyway, I don’t think that’s Elvis’ style so I’m not sure why people were expecting “dirt”.
There is a chapter that takes you behind the scenes of Jingle Ball, and then further into the lives of celebrities. It was interesting to hear an outsider’s “insider” point of view and really gave me a new respect for famous people and what they go through because of their fame.
He does touch on the 2016 election, and while I didn’t agree with everything that was said, I understand where he was coming from, and considering the backlash of the show taking a neutral stance, I thought it was brave of him to mention it at all in his book.
