Elvis Duran And The Morning Show (formerly known as The Z Morning Zoo) is the name of 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 "Z-100". The show is also syndicated through Premiere Radio Networks in major markets such as Philadelphia, Atlanta, Miami, Cleveland, St. Louis and Austin The live airing of the show is weekdays from 6am-10am Eastern, with Central markets also airing it live from 5am-9am CT, and other time zones further west taking the show on tape delay. A "best of the week" compilation show is also carried on Saturday mornings by most stations.

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 WHTZ'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.

The regular segments of the program include the gossip-heavy "Sleaze Report", "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, and various contests. Local windows are made available for news briefs and weather and traffic reports.

The show began to be syndicated to other Clear Channel stations on May 22, 2006, starting with WHYI-FM/ Miami, then WIOQ/ Philadelphia on July 22, 2008, and WAKS/ Cleveland on August 25, 2008, with approximately seventy stations 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". Slowly until July 2008 and the addition of more stations, the word "Zoo" was replaced with "Show" to make it more palatable to stations with other brandings or aversions to using the "morning zoo" term in their promotional advertising.

John Bell was let go from the show on March 22, 2010, with Carolina Bermudez leaving on June 22, 2012 to join CBS-owned WLNY-TV in the New York area to launch he rnew morning program, Live from the Couch.

Executive Producer David Brody wrote a parody version of Adele's "Someone Like You" with clips of Carolina in it, a cake was delivered from Buddy Valastro (Cake Boss), a call in from comedian Lisa Lampanelli, and a special themed Greg T's Topic Train were part of her closing show celebrations. DJ Reidiculous made a mix of Carolina's favorite songs.

Bethany Watson joined the show in a cameo on August 10, 2012. Her first official show was August 13, 2012.

TJ Taormina left on February 21, 2013 to host the morning show at WODS/Boston, with Loren Raye joining him a month later. ^[1]

Executive Producer David Brody wrote a parody version of The Lumineers' "Ho Hey" with clips of TJ in it.
