This is an AUTHENTIC HAND SIGNED ORIGINAL Vintage 8"x 10" BW photo of JIMMY DURANTE and GARRY MOORE in "THE DURANTE-MOORE SHOW" featuring both of their autographs. 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.

The origins of The Durante-Moore Show can probably be traced back to several radio stints that Jimmy Durante had in the 1930s.

On September 10, 1933, Durante appeared on NBC radio's The Chase and Sanborn Hour which, at that time starred Eddie Cantor. He continued to make recurring appearances on the program until November 12 of that year. When Cantor left the show, Durante took over as the host from April 22 to September 30, 1934.

Durante then became a regular on NBC's Camel Caravan. It was in 1943 when Caravan producer Phil Cohan decided to pair Durante with a young Garry Moore. Moore was an announcer on the radio at the time. After that episode aired, Cohan decided to create a radio series for the two. The series was to be a summer replacement series for The Abbott and Costello Show. Lou Costello, however, suffered a heart attack which put The Abbott and Costello Show on a short hiatus and, looking for a quick replacement, NBC put Durante and Moore on the air.

On March 25, 1943, The Durante-Moore Show premiered on NBC under the name The Camel Comedy Caravan. The series was sponsored originally by Camel cigarettes. This sponsorship concluded after Camel refused to renew the series after the end of its third season. The March 30, 1945 broadcast was the last show sponsored by Camel. The show continued on April 6, 1945 with Rexall as its sponsor. The series moved to CBS in October 1943.
