Career edit

A comment in a 1942 newspaper article summed up Nazarro's varied talents: "He played all sorts of roles in stock companies, was a versatile actor in musical comedy and vaudeville, is one of the top masters-of-ceremony in show business, and was a serious vocalist on the radio."[2]

Nazarro was the voice of Warner Bros. Cartoons' cartoon character "Egghead". He made a few commercial recordings, including a 1932 date as vocalist with swing band Roane's Pennsylvanians and a 1942 comic recitation, "News of the World." He made several uncredited appearances on the Jack Benny Program during the 1930s and early 1940s.
