Jimmy Durante

A Woman for President with Dorothy Lamour

English · Radio

Jimmy Durante’s radio program centers on the exuberant comedian and entertainer, whose unmistakable gravelly voice, musical interludes, and playful comic style give the show its character. This recording features Dorothy Lamour and is identified with the episode title “A Woman for President.”

Durante’s broadcasts blend comedy and music, with the host’s lively delivery and interactions shaping the entertainment. The result is a variety-style radio experience rather than a single continuous dramatic story, bringing spoken humor and performance together in a light, energetic format.

Durante’s warmth and larger-than-life personality make the program feel informal and spirited. Listeners can enjoy the contrast between his comic exuberance and Lamour’s presence, along with the distinctive sound of a mid-century radio variety show.
