The Durante-Moore Show was an old-time radio show that ran on NBC with episodes running from March 25, 1943–October 28, 1943 and on CBS with episodes running from October 8, 1943–June 27, 1947.
The series starred burlesque and vaudeville veteran entertainer Jimmy Durante and radio personality Garry Moore.
The series was sponsored by Camel cigarettes and the Rexall Drug Corporation.
The show also coined the famous catchphrase "Dat's my boy dat said dat!" which was said by Durante, often speaking of something that Moore said. That catchphrase would later inspire the legendary cartoon Augie Doggie and Doggie Daddy.
