Talk:Jimmy Durante

Ha cha cha cha ?

Ive seen many impersoniations of Jimmy durante having his "ha cha cha cha" phrase, but Ive been trying to look for Jimmy durante actually saying it himself, anyone that can point me in the right direction? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 89.233.193.95 (talk) 19:25, May 18, 2008‎

A song

I once heard a song, which I belief was sung by Jimmy Durante. I cannot remember the exact lyrics, but it went something like 'One day, I read a book'...and at the end he sings 'I might read another book again'. I would love to get hold of this song - what is the title?

That'd be Durante's "(I'll Never Forget) The Day I Read a Book." — Preceding unsigned comment added by Alao1551 (talk • contribs) 16:41, 20 July 2020 (UTC)

place of birth

The summmary box (or whatever it's called) says "Brooklyn, NY", but the article says the Lower East Side, which is in Manhattan ... ? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.173.90.93 (talk) 13:26, 12 April 2011 (UTC)

There is a contradiction, but I do not have ready access to a reliable source. I will search. Cullen³²⁸ Let's discuss it 04:16, 13 October 2012 (UTC)

"Television" is a complete mess

On what TV show did Durante first appear?

Much of it seems to be about The Big Show, which was a radio program

Le plombier amoureux (1932) as Tony ?

Referring to the French Wiki, this is the French version of The Passionate Plumber. Did JD play another character (instead of Julius J. McCracken in the English version) ? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 178.24.245.107 (talk) 09:53, 22 July 2017 (UTC)

Lion King?

Pumbaa does a brief Durante impression while singing "Hakuna Matata" in The Lion King. Where, when? Without a reference, I'm going to remove this claim. - Brian Kendig (talk) 06:01, 26 December 2017 (UTC)

Legacy - The Thing?

Stan Lee has said he “modeled the Thing’s whole personality and speech patterns after ol’ Shnoz”. (“Stan’s Soapbox” column in Avengers #28, May 2000.) Should this be added? Eoincunningham (talk) 20:21, 6 February 2025 (UTC)
