This man drives me frickin' crazy. Another version of right wing noise pushing gop talking points and misinformation. He really needs to stay away from politics however considering who syndicates the show nothing surprises me. Their propaganda machine is keeping people stupid. George Ralph Noory(born June 4, 1950) is the host of the popular nationally-syndicated radio show Coast to Coast AM. George replaced C2C founder Art Bell who retired from the show in 2006.
Radio George Noory is the host of the popular nationally-syndicated radio show Coast to Coast AM. George replaced C2C founder Art Bell who retired from the show in 2006. What is significant is almost slavish adherence to a strictly denier stance when it comes to global climate science. Noory cuts the widest swath of the occult the mystical and the unusual on the guests he books for his late night call in show. This broad spectrum is conspicuously missing when it comes to global science.
Every guest he has on concerning this subject is a who's who of scientific outliers or down right loons. On one broadcast he said how it would be very helpful if they devoted a night to debating the subject. This night of debate of course never took place and never will. Facts are not George's friend.
George's program is distributed by the Premier Radio Network. The same network that distributes Sean Hannity and Rush Limbaugh. This uber conservative pro fossil fuel corporation is not interested in an alternative perspective on anything except selling more fossil fuels. What this sale does to the environment is of little concern to Premier, certainly to the oil companies....and clearly to Noory.
As long as they're talking about crystals or astral plane projection or the possible discovery of Atlantis everyone that tugs on Noory's puppet strings is friendly. I want to be George's friend. I want to tell him that being a whore to the coal and oil industry is not something he should do. But does he listen to me? Nooooooo. No he doesn't.
Family
George grew up in Detroit with two younger sisters. He graduated from the University of Detroit in 1972 with a bachelor's degree in Communications. In 1996 he hosted a late-night program called Nighthawk.
George is currently divorced and has said on-air that he has been married twice. (He once referred to the odd-hours and stress of working as a late-night talk show host as one of the reasons for his failed marriages.) Noory has three children, and four grandchildren.(fact?)
He has at least one daughter whose birthday is in April.

Art Bell Talks About George Noory On His HAM Radio
mvandeven 905 subscribers I found this obscure audio file on some peer to peer file sharing program several years ago. I've not seen it since, so I'm glad I held onto it. It's late night radio legend Art Bell talking about the guy who replaced him, George Noory. I get the feeling Art is rather disappointed by what happened with Coast to Coast AM after he stopped serving as the show's full time host. I don't blame him. I, too, am disappointed. I find the new version of the show to be an exercise in mediocrity with George Noory as host. Come talk about it with us at CoastGab.com

Coast to Coast AM: Now Rightwing Talk Radio?
Once upon a time there was a wonderful radio show on very late at night called Coast to Coast AM. It featured guests and discussion about UFOs, ghosts, the Loch Ness monster, Bigfoot, chupacabra, so on and so forth.
The program was founded and hosted by the great Art Bell. In 2003, Bell semi-retired and pretty much fully retired and left the show in 2007. The show was in the main not political ... it was fun, entertaining, interesting. (Who can forget 'Mel's Hole' and the 'Sounds From Hell'?)
However, since 2003 the primary host has been George Noory. Since Noory took over the program has become increasingly political -- and taken a decidedly conservative, reactionary and rightwing direction.
Last week I posted a thread noting the scheduling of a particularly odious rightwing guest ... that person ultimately did not appear, perhaps because of DU emails?
www.democraticunderground.com/125128493
Now, tomorrow night, Noory's first half guest is scheduled to be the infamous 'birther bigot' Jerome Corsi. While Corsi is supposed to be talking about the discredited and unscientific "drill, baby, drill" theory of abiotic oil, the question is why is the author of 'Unfit for Command: Swift Boat Veterans Speak Out Against John Kerry', 'The Obama Nation: Leftist Politics and the Cult of Personality' and 'Where's the Birth Certificate?' being given a forum on an allegedly 'non-political' radio show?
On Wednesday, Noory is interviewing libertarian-conservative Charles Goyette. It is getting like this more and more every week; more conservative guests, more rightwing talking points from Noory, more barely veiled disdain for the President.
For those who care and would like to see Coast to Coast return to the format Art Bell envision for it, here are emails:
George Noory george@coasttocoastam.com
Lisa Lyon Producer, Coast to Coast AM lisa@coasttocoastam.com
Tom Danheiser Producer, Coast to Coast AM tom@coasttocoastam.com

Art Bell Vs. George Noory: The Coast to Coast AM Controversywww.theronnierepublic.com/2014/11/art-bell-vs-george-noory-coast-to-coast.html English: The coast Hey, all of you Coast to Coast AM listeners out there........
What do you think?
What has happened to Coast to Coast AM--what day did it turn into a political show.
Is it just The Ronnie Republic Radio round-Up that is asking the question....What is going on?
Are all of the listeners Republicans and this is the only listening, questioning democrat.
Is George Noory too tired and trying to stay awake.........
Seriously, all of these questions come up as the listener ask themselves....Where in the world is Art Bell? en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Art_Bell
Did Art Bell like the callers--was he actually interested in what they were saying--did he care.
Of course, we will never really know the answers to these questions but is certainly seemed like he was interested in what was taking place on his show.
George Noory, lately, not so much..........
It seems like George has forgotten the hallmark of the show--free thinking--letting people talk. Last week he cut off a lady right in the middle of a very sad, heart-felt story--it was embarrassing. What was the point of cutting the lady off just to let one more caller get in.
It was rude, George.........
Sometimes it sounds like George is not even listening to what the callers are saying--he is fighting to stay awake. He's always awake to push his own shows and endeavors.
Speaking of free thinking--what day did Coast to Coast AM become a promotion for the political right wing conservative movement in the US. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Right-wing_politics maps.google.com/maps?ll=38.8833333333,-77.0166666667&spn=10.0,10.0&q=38.8833333333,-77.0166666667+(United+States)&t=h
Does George Noory think only Repubs listen to the show. Did George Noory ever entertain the fact that some of the listeners may like President Obama. www.barackobama.com/
His political diatribes are offensive--thanks George but I listen to the news all day long--I'm going to go ahead and form my own political opinion right now. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freedom_of_thought
No one minds Corsi from World Net Daily sharing his opinion once in a while--but to view his ideas as if they are news...... en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corsi www.wnd.com/
Gee--George--I don't think so.........
Reading Art Bell's website he says he will be back on the radio in 2015.
Both of these late night magnates are talented radio hosts, gifted speakers with plenty of talents and a few faults, too.
I love George Noory but right now........
I can't wait for Art Bell to get back--the show has lost its' life and freshness--Art Bell has the gift of running a show and keeping it alive. It's got to be hard work but right now the man at the helm of the ship seems old and tired.
Art Bell Where are you.
Opposing views are welcome.
.................................

22 Responses to A Critique of George Noory’s Coast to Coastwww.norcalblogs.com/postscripts/2013/03/03/critique-george-noorys-coast-coast/Tina says: Sunday, March 3, 2013 at 9:06 pm The listeners are often people who are stuck on the road at night, like coast to coast truckers. Not much radio of any kind to tune in at that late hour but it’s company even if it is nutty.
Harriet says: Monday, March 4, 2013 at 10:04 am Had to chuckle at the “Nooryisms” reminds me of “Smilin’Joe Biden”.
As I understand Art Bell went to the Phillipines to get married, he intended to bring his wife back but she was not allowed entry not sure why , so he stayed.
SteveG says: Thursday, April 11, 2013 at 12:13 pm I agree. I can’t understand how George got to sit in Art’s seat. I disagree about George’s interjections though. I really think he isn’t listening to the guest during the interview, he’s thinking about tomorrow’s schedule or something. Here is a typical example that happens over and over again. The guest will answer a question that George asks, then explain, how he got into his research, and the next question George asks is “so how did you get into your research?” George reads off a list (made by Tommy) of questions all the time no matter what the guest is talking about. It drives me insane along with all his “witty” comments AND all his mumbling. He mumbles incessantly. I didn’t realize how unqualified George was until I went back and started listening to old Art Bell shows. Oh and another thing that makes me insane. George always interrupts his guests when they are making an important point. That then throws the show off so much that we never get to hear the important points. Art, come back!
Jeb says: Tuesday, April 16, 2013 at 12:58 pm He must have blackmailed his way into this position. He tries to use this show for his quirky ideas like the search for aspiring music artist who are really bad. He must choose them himself.Another joke is the TV show “Beyond Belief” which stinks.Of course he charges for all this mindless crap. John Wells is 100 times better
Benjamin David Steele says: Sunday, May 12, 2013 at 6:36 pm I occasionally have listened to the show since Art Bell left, but generally the show doesn’t do much for me these days. I agree with your assessment of Noory. Wells annoys me as well for other reasons. However, I would disagree about Bell being a conservative. He seems to be a socially progressive or at least a socially liberal libertarian, maybe even more of a left-libertarian. He supposedly voted for Obama, although he did support Ron Paul in the past (the same for me). Also, he supports the scientific consensus about global warming and has been righteously critical of Fox News. I wouldn’t call him a liberal, maybe generally liberal-minded, but certainly not conservative.
Post Scripts says: Sunday, May 12, 2013 at 8:21 pm Ben, I’m going to restate my feelings that he (Bell) is a conservative, I like your assessment better. Bell does have conservative issues, but on the whole he is more a libertarian and left of center, but at least he wasn’t pro-democrat!
Bill Brent says: Wednesday, September 11, 2013 at 3:17 am My guess is that the producers of the show, years ago, made a decision to go with Noory (as opposed to Bell) because they wanted to appeal to the widest possible audience (more liseners, for any reason = more money).
Art Bell did his research and had a body of knowledge that he used in his interviews. He tested the premises of his guests. This required listeners to think while listening. This approach, while preferable to those who seek new knowledge, and consistent with the original aims of the show, will necessarily limit the number of listeners.
Noory does no research and has no body of knowledge. He seems more interested in being pals with guests than with testing their premises. I am sure that he is not a bad person, but he is a lazy and stupid person. Yet unlike Larry King, who gets respect because he has repeatedly admitted that he never prepares for interviews, Noory still seems to want to pretend. He is stupid, and his interviews fail to uphold the original objectives of the show. BUT he attracts far more listeners, such as the listeners that are put off by Art Bell and by intelligent discourse — the low-cognitive-ability listener.
DUMBER = LESS FRIGHTENING TO MORE LISTENERS = MORE MONEY = NOORY
SteveG says: Thursday, April 11, 2013 at 12:13 pm I agree. I can’t understand how George got to sit in Art’s seat. I disagree about George’s interjections though.

Jack L. says: Wednesday, September 11, 2013 at 11:14 am Good post Bill, makes a lot of sense to me!
Wanda says: Tuesday, October 8, 2013 at 6:51 pm I could not agree more with everything you have said.
mike P says: Sunday, May 11, 2014 at 4:21 pm His response to every comment is “well, theres no doubt about that” . This show fronts like hard hitting , buck the system radio reporting but is an illosernati initiated co-opt that acts like “alternative media”. The best way to control dissenting voices is to provide the platform so as to maintain control. Simple George is just a stupid stooge imbecile.
arnell anderson says: Wednesday, May 14, 2014 at 10:42 pm I agree about how uninformed George Noory is. And yes,it’s true, he doesn’t listen. He babbles “That’s true” but if the guest would query George with “what did I just say, George” He, George wouldn’t have a clue what the guest had just said. George is so in a hurry to get to the next caller and I hate those open lines. That’s just a cop out that he needs to get through the week.
mdmiller says: Monday, July 7, 2014 at 12:43 am what an idiot norry kisses all guest asses with words like absolutely right on the heas you got it like tonight this guy on there never ever doesnt have an answer he the foremost authority on death cancer pyscic bs anything never shuts his pie hole and the whole time that dope norry you got that right lol nailed it and the guys obviously has sever psyco problems
mdmiller says: Monday, July 7, 2014 at 12:48 am oh yea you ever see a call get through that disagreas i once called and said i well we caught a chupa copra down on town lake in austin texas and that we were callin this one his cousin the chupa veiga and george said you got pictures i said sure fax nim some porn an hour later he did admit we got him
mdmiller says: Tuesday, July 15, 2014 at 1:03 am oh boy snoorys on a roll tonight talkin about fraud erie geller bending lololololol what a dope and he said hes remote viewing all the time i guess he dont need to go a vacation if he can fly off everynight go where he wants and hes agreing with everything his dopey guest says they must be lovers cause its like he idolizes the idiot
Wendy says: Monday, December 8, 2014 at 1:03 pm George has made the show completely unlistenable. It’s a watered down, boring infomercial. It’s gotten even worse lately. My grievances, in no particular order: #1) Cutting show down from 5 hours to 4 #2) No more unscreened calls #3) Too many commercials #4) Now dividing the shows in half, making for even more superficial interviews
dan says: Monday, January 12, 2015 at 8:29 pm I’ve listened regularly since the late 1980s. The show has deteriorated badly for the following reasons:(1) too much time spent on bump music — Noory really wants to be a disc jockey, and the music he plays is lousy, especially the emerging artists, (2) uninteresting guests, dealing with subjects that Art Bell would never have entertained — in fact, the stuff he’s had on lately is the same thing you might hear on daytime public radio, (3) guest hosts, except for Knapp, that are just no good — I almost think that Noory doesn’t want anyone on the air who might show him up (ask John B Wells), and finally, a seeming reluctance to speak about the new American security state — I think the shadow government people have probably threatened him, and if this is true I can understand it. Also, the #3 comment by SteveG is insightful.
joe says: Monday, March 9, 2015 at 11:25 pm Don’t have anything against George Noory, but he’s just a poor interviewer/host. There was a break on one of his interviews, and the guest wanted to continue with what he was saying…but George wouldn’t have any of it. He had to prove that he was in control and the boss. Very immature. I actually think George Knapp is much more engaging and better host. I stopped listening to the show when George Noory became its host…hardly listen anymore. – See more at: www.norcalblogs.com/postscripts/2013/03/03/critique-george-noorys-coast-coast/#comment-52453
Radio2015 says: Friday, March 27, 2015 at 12:36 am I wish I had been a listener to Coast to Coast when Art Bell was the host, but I didn’t begin listening to Coast to Coast AM until after Noory became the host. However, I have listened to a number of old Art Bell episodes on the internet, and I enjoyed them very much. Art definitely probed his guests to cut through the chaff, which gave the show much more credibility. At times, I felt as though Art was a bit harsh with some of his guests and callers when he could have been a bit more diplomatic, but I suppose that some listeners enjoyed the sarcastic banter. I like George Noory as a person, and I believe he is thoroughly interested in the show’s subject matter, but he lacks the knowledge that Art Bell had and it seems as though he does very little research in preparation for the show. Sadly, I only enjoy about one out of every five episodes due to the content and the format of the show. There are definitely some incredibly boring and outright ridiculous episodes. My second biggest complaint about the show is its overabundance of commercials and bumper music. Over 30% of the show is commercials or bumper music, and it destroys the flow of the show. I could stomach the show much better if they’d cut down the commercial time in half. I realize that Noory isn’t the most intelligent or prepared host on Coast to Coast, but I don’t like seeing comments that are downright hateful and cruel. He’s a decent person, and doesn’t deserve hate based comments. I’ve read multiple comments insulting Noory’s intelligence, and I agree that his level of intelligence and whit fall far below the bar that Art Bell set, but I don’t think he’s an idiot. I’d be thrilled to achieve half the success that Noory has achieved throughout his career. That being said, I do wish that Art Bell was still on Coast to Coast AM.
Post Scripts says: Friday, March 27, 2015 at 11:08 am Good comments Radio, I agree.
Pie Guevara says: Friday, March 27, 2015 at 12:28 pm I can’t believe that any rational person can listen to Coast To Coast without it either inducing nausea or fits of laughter.
The latter is preferable. The show was once amusing, not so much anymore.
Art Bell was (is) a genius of entertainment, but he was still a dog and pony show lunatic who spent 99% of his time interviewing and conversing with other lunatics and 1% on hard science — as opposed to the usual, audience capturing pseudo-science.
Bell’s obsession with Richard Hoagland comes to mind. I could never figure out if Bell was leading him on or actually believed the lunacy Hoagland espouses.
Nevertheless, it is hard to fault Bell’s success. Bell built Coast To Coast from essentially nothing.
My favorite call in character back in Bell’s days was the guy who said he invented a parallel universe travel machine from reels of transmission wire and equipment he stole from PG&E.
The best substitute host Bell ever had was Barbara Simpson. She often worked weekends. Bell should have turned the show over to her, not this George Noory dork.
You can still listen to Art Bell live on short wave W6OBB. Evidently he is negotiating a return to broadcast commercial radio on the satellite system SiriusXM.
I disagree that Art Bell was politically neutral. Every time I heard him discuss politics, he was a typical flaming lib.
Saying Noory behaves like Jim Nabors’ comedic character creation “Gomer Pyle” is unfair to Gomer.
Post Scripts says: Friday, March 27, 2015 at 4:58 pm An equally good observation and one I have to agree with too, with one caveat, I have heard Bell come down on the conservative side quite a few times and sometimes not. But, overall I liked him more than Noory who is just too quick to agree with crazy people, I mean really delusional, certifiable crazy… he’s just a go along to get along kind of talk show host.
chop says: Thursday, May 21, 2015 at 11:08 pm To call this guy an idiot would be a compliment. He’s worse, just the biggest phony who doesn’t believe 99% of what his guests spout on the show, but pretends to be fascinated with his “Wow’s!” and “Oh My’s.” When he’s not interrupting an even slightly interesting guest with the most stupid and irrelevant questions, he’s dibbling about some other crack pot who’s writing or comments are also irrelevant. My favorite George Noory stupid-ism was when he asked a guest: “Will the children save the planet?”

Thursday, August 30, 2007Radio show, "Coast to Coast AM" just a Shadow-person of it's former GloryOnce Upon a Time, in America, there was a terrific late night radio show to listen to. It was all about gray space aliens, evil little dudes from some bad planet who kidnapped people, as well as other out-of-this-world spooky topics like ghosties, shadow people and voices of the dead.
It originated out of the Nevada desert, a place called Pahrump, and was hosted by an equally-spooky guy named Art Bell. Now Art Bell had exactly all the right characteristics to conduct a late night show about topics which make us all uneasy, which make us all cling to the bedcovers a little more tightly. Art has a deep, dusky voice, thanks to decades of cigarettes. Art had an eerie dark little website too, and even a dark, shadowy photo of himself, which I have borrowed for this blog.
The overnight show was called Coast to Coast, also commonly called the Art Bell Show. And it WAS a great, late-night creepshow, a spendid alternative to the endless music stations and TV.
Art was not above scaring hell out of listeners, alerting us all to the threat of Y2K, global warming, and "The Quickening", a nebulous name for how everything seems to be speeding up, getting worse and feeling harsher. But he never spread fear of our own country.
Art Bell has retired again, for the 5th or the 6th time, and the overnight radio show has new ownership (Premier Radio Network), and a new host.
"Coast to Coast AM" it is called now, for legal reasons. And the new host is George Noory. Neither has the clout nor the listenership that the show once had, under the skilled, artful hosting and direction of Art Bell.
George Noory hasn't 1/10 the interviewing skills of mentor Bell. It honestly sounds as if he is reading a pre-written list of questions, never ever with a thoughtful, inquisitive follow-up question of the guest; asking questions of the guest that a kindergartener knows the answer to; wasting opportunities to ask really pertinant questions; and the show itself is jam packed shilling every Coast to Coast AM spin-off product imaginable.
The whole show now is so glitzy, so glossy, that serious treatment of the topic, of the guest of the night is lost. What once made Coast to Coast with Art Bell so great, so eagerly anticipated by millions of people, is now gone. It is overall, a total waste of 3-4 hours of time, if one must be up overnight, at all. Then there is the over done gag provided by a "kook" caller, named J.C. ((If a listener really listens closly, the phone line introducing J.C. is never identified.)) J.C. is just another tired shill, a gimmick that has lost its lustre by over-kill.
Thank Goodness that there are now acceptable alternatives to this overnight tripe produced by George Noory and company.
George Noory's thinly veiled political partisanship comes through in most interviews he conducts, but most especially in the shorter, first hour interviews with guests who have agendas clearly coinciding with that of Premier Radio Networks.
George Noory has not got the talent, much less the skill to handle this type show. Listening to him, one can hear him mispronounce words with alacrity. He seems to want to fit in to the Art Bell shoes so badly, that he becomes vocally clumsy and lazy. I have given up on the crappy show Coast to Coast AM--except on weekends, when a listener can still get a good show out of weekend host Ian Punnett, and recordings of old Art Bell shows.
Thank goodness for other Internet radio stations, like the BBC, or like Radio America (dot org) instead. Did I repeat myself there, saying that? Its worth repeating: Coast to Coast AM is a drag.

sguforums.org/index.php?topic=41005.0Coast-to-Coast AM is pushing climate change denial tonight.« on: March 25, 2012, 03:53:44 AM » This makes me so spitting mad! Tonight's show was devoted to showcasing the lies and obfuscation of some jackass who wants you to believe science is a liberal conspiracy:
Dr. Tim Ball on Coast-to-Coast AM www.coasttocoastam.com/show/2012-03-24-show/
I suppose this shouldn't come as any surprise, because pseudoscience is C2C's stock in trade. I find it infuriating, however, because, unlike the show's usual roster of UFO contactees, numerologists, and Nostradamus believers, the climate change deniers have real potential to do actual harm to our society and planet.
Promoting their bullshit beliefs so enthusiastically and uncritically is beyond irresponsible. Tonight's C2C was anti-science, anti-environmentalist, anti-government, right-wing propaganda at its very worst.
Re: Coast-to-Coast AM is pushing climate change denial tonight. « Reply #3 on: March 25, 2012, 05:17:29 PM » The problem is that C2C is one of the most popular radio shows in the country, with a HUGE audience who believe what is said on the show and vote accordingly.
And yes, the commercials broadcast during that show are beyond the pale. Never have I heard so many endorsements of such blatantly worthless, and often downright fraudulent, goods and services. It's a shame the FCC doesn't have more power or will to investigate these advertisers.

I recently learned that George Noory and Coasttocoastam are syndicated by the same right wing CONServative corporation that pushes the likes of Sean Hannity, Rush Limbaugh, the freaky Bill Cunningham, Glen Beck and an assortment of other propagandists. Everything began to make sense to me after learning this as night after night Noory and his minions parade extreme right wing conservative shills as well as more subtle CONS that push their ideological narratives, half truths and outright lies. I mean, why should a ghost hunter or bigfoot researcher be remotely pushing conservatism? Noory allows them to do it but when a guest from the left, a Liberal or Progressive makes a comment, even a mild one Noory overtalks that guest with WE DON'T TALK POLITICS HERE. This is NOT a political show. He shuts the left up...even the most subtle lefty. We all know Art Bell (RIP) who created coasttocoastam was right leaning but he never allowed himself to be pressured by Premiere to express those political stripes. Art was a class act. And a cat lover to boot. How Jesse Jackson could allow himself to be part of that charade is beyond me but I suppose he has his reasons.

George Noory – America’s Dumbest Talk Show Host Does It Again Posted on Thursday, April 17, 2014 by Post Scripts by Jack
Speaking about Nevada Rancher Cliven Bundy and his stand-off with the government Noory said, “…this would be the BLM and of course this is the Bureau of Labor Management.” Hey George this is the Bureau of Land Management! Maybe Noory was thinking the cows were being forced to work overtime?
Here’s a few other dandys that helped create the term Nooryism:
“If you raised a baby and beat it and kicked it and yelled at it, it would turn out to be a mean baby?”
“Jim, humanity has always been looking for ways to improve on our suffering and improve on disease, aging and involuntary death…”
“I would guess your mind is part of who you are.”
“I really do believe 2012 is coming. What do you think about that?”

THE GHOST OF COAST COMMENTARIES AND OBSERVATIONS ON LATE NIGHT RADIO PROGRAM COAST TO COAST AM AND IT'S SISTER SHOW, COAST TO COAST LIVE.
THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 01, 2007 George Noory is a Fucking Idiot-Discuss ghostofcoast.blogspot.com/2007/02/george-noory-is-fucking-idiot-discuss.html
How's that for a start? For several weeks I've had several people prompting me to post more here, and to share my many thoughts and rants on the performance of Coast to Coast AM's week night host (or as a very dear, former C2C fan says: "weak night host"), George Noory.
Unfortunately I've been crippled by a form of writer's block. In my case it's caused by such a wealth of material to draw from that I have no earthly idea where to begin. George Noory sucks so much, so hard and so badly that I'm completely overwhelmed. Should I begin with his lack of ability to speak? And if so, should I focus on his inability to pronounce the simplest and most common household word? Or should I focus on the fact that this self-aggrandizing "consummate professional" has so much saliva in his mouth at any given time that he makes Daffy Duck seem like Sir John Gielgud?
Perhaps I could focus on his grammar, syntax and usage, which has been of interest to me for a long time. I desperately want to understand why a 56 year old man who was born and raised in the United States of America - Dearborn Heights, Michigan, to be exact - can so blithely and unwittingly butcher the English language on a regular basis the way he does.
I think I'll save that for a later, more in depth study, but for now, I think the best explanation may be that he was probably raised in a bi-lingual (Lebanese-English) household whose occupants probably didn't have an aptitude for grammar, regardless of the language being spoken.
Or it could just be that he's stupid. I dunno.
Today, though, I'll leave it with a very annoying and unprofessional habit he's gotten into in the last year.
For whatever reason - and please, I encourage you all to "discuss", as Linda Richman would prompt -- Noory has decided that it's a good idea to conduct his business on the air. I can't remember how many times in the last couple of months he has had a guest on, and in the middle of an interview , the guest will say something that prompts Noory to be struck with an idea for a future show.
When this happens, (and you can practically hear the virtual light bulb, dim as it is, turn on over his balding noggin ) Noory invariably will interrupt his guest, often mid-sentence, to tell them of his idea for a future show that may or may not include them, and proceed to engage them in helping him to plan out the particulars of this show.
In essence he brings the entire program and it's intent to a screeching halt, because - stop the presses!, he's had an idea, He will then go on to tell his guest what his envisioned plan for this future show will be, how it will include them, what they need to do to help him facilitate that, and that "When we go to break, I want you to give your phone number to Tommy (producer, call screener, and "Jim Fowler" to George's "Marlin Perkins", Tom Danheiser) so that Tommy can contact them later to help set up this show. This will often go on for ten minutes or so before Noory remembers he's supposed to be talking to the guest about their latest endeavors, and even then George Noory will frequently interject something pertaining to his "great idea" about this potential "upcoming show" throughout the rest of the interview.
Last night's show, with guest medium and demon aficionado, Chip Coffey, was a textbook example. As a sort of ace-in-the-hole for his interview, Chip had brought along a woman whose alias was "Maria Simpson", and who was a friend of Mark David Chapman, John Lennon's murderer.
"Ms. Simpson" was an older, genteel, soft-spoken, Southern lady, and Coffey and Simpson were of the opinion that Chapman had murdered John Lennon because a demon from Ms. Simpson's house had attached itself to Chapman and instructed him to do so. As she spoke it became evident that Ms. Simpson was well acquainted with Chapman (now residing in a solitary cell in Attica) at one time, but had not been in touch with him for years, and by her hesitant tone and inflections, it seemed he would just as soon not have anymore contact with her, nor she with him.
Noory (who proudly claims that "the meat of the matter" is his forte, subtlety & nuance be damned...) missed that part, not surprising, as it was blatantly obvious by his many silences throughout the interview that he was busy reading forums and fast blasts on the internet, trying to mine the minds of other people who were paying attention for good questions to ask, since he clearly had nothing.
Excuse me for a moment, but may I? HE'S A FUCKING IDIOT!!! . Not only that, but a rude idiot.
Near the end of Ms. Simpson's "appearance" on the show, as she was speaking, Noory was hit with one of his trademark, Geraldo-esque, 1/2 baked, exploitational ideas, and ground the interview to a halt to ask Ms. Simpson if she could arrange for her, Coffey and himself to go to Attica to interview Chapman about this demon!!!
He at least had the sense to ask Ms. Coffey if she would be comfortable with this, and she quickly but graciously replied "I don't know whether I would or not, it's a part of my life that was so traumatic I don't think I really would care to." , and her tone was so obviously troubled and uncomfortable. But did Noory let it go? Or care? Or even notice ?? Oh hell no!! He then proceeded to pester her & ask if she would at least arrange it so he and Coffey could go and do that. She agreed to try. At that point Noory told her to hang on so that she could give the ubiquitous Tommy her telephone number and contact information. When she agreed, she was basically "excused" from the interview, and you could practically hear Noory's thought, "Your money's on the counter, bitch, I'm through with you."
What a fucking ass. The woman had just said that it was a traumatic part of her life, someplace she's not comfortable revisiting, she's not on the show for any gain of her own, hell, she probably only agreed to do it because she didn't want to seem rude, and here's that fucking, insensitive prick Noory goading her on the air so he can come off as what he touts himself to be (and is not) - a "cutting edge investigative reporter". He is such an Geraldo.
And one more thought, before I leave you, Fans of Coast to Coast - If the lady is on the show already, on the goddam radio talking, via telephone, WHY THE FUCK DO THEY NEED HER PHONE NUMBER???. How did she get on the air in the first place? Did they have her speed dial the Wild Card Line until she got through? Who the fuck set this show up? One would presume the producer, Tom Danheiser, who is right there in the studio with them. Surely he already had her phone number, as well as that of Chip Coffey, who also clearly had to have had her phone number - why the fuck would they be asking her for it?
Furthermore, and to the point of my entire rant, WHY THE FUCK IS NOORY SETTING UP INTERVIEWS AND FUTURE SHOWS WHILE HE'S ON THE AIR?. Whether it's his job or the producer's, that shit should be done off the air, there is absolutely no reason why that needs to be happening. Yet it does. On a regular basis.
Is it Noory just trying to "show off"? Does he think it makes him look like some kind of a big wheel to be wheeling and dealing and "making things happen" right there in front of everyone?
Or maybe he feels his producers are too inept to handle it themselves. Could that be? Maybe he's afraid Tommy or Lisa Lyon will drop the ball. I don't fucking know, but I sure would like to.
Coast to Coast under George Noory's "guidance" has been a dog and pony show for quite some time now, but I think The Ringmaster has finally lost any kind of grip on reality he's ever had, and that was a shaky grip, at best, to begin with.
Man he sucks. POSTED BY THE DIXIE BUTCHER AT 3:07 PM

George Noory Sucksunclejim8.wordpress.com/2009/11/25/george-noory-sucks/
I used to depend on Art and C2C. Those days are long gone. Ever since those idiots took over (they’re evil, not just stupid), it’s all bible, angels, 2012, creationism, anti-science and all kinds of the worst stupid feces. I can’t stand it any more. Besides all that, their syndicate runs on the most extreme right-wing radio stations, which run all those even more evil radio shows. There’s a big movement to boycott their big advertisers (Walmart cut them off already). I haven’t given up yet, COASTTOCOAST BELONGS TO US! Complain to your local stations and anybody who advertises on them! Here’s a cc of my email to “georgenoorysucks.com (For Sale)” (I wish I’d bought that domain name when it originally sold for five bucks). I also sent a copy to Art.
To the owner of “georgenoorysucks.com (For Sale)”:
Right On!
To understand how strongly I feel about this, you’ll need some background info.
First of all, I was born in Detroit, too.
I also lived in Dearborn Heights, and very probably went to the same Grade School and church as our friend George.
I was there when the Tigers won the series. I was there when Hoffa disappeared.
I started listening to Art when Ed Dames and whatshisname the backwards speech guy were regulars.
I heard the famous father whatshisname shows live! (Reissued on “bonus” CDs a few years ago.)
In the 90’s, and being a big Art Bell fan, I actually visited Pahrump several times. (I worked at Stovepipe Wells for a while). Everywhere I went I asked “Does Art Bell shop here?” “Does Art Bell buy his gas here?” Nobody in Pahrump had ever even heard of Art Bell. Nowadays, everybody in Pahrump has heard of Art Bell. (By the way, I used to park my motorhome right on top of where they dug up the famous Las Vegas Mob treasure). Eventually, I even figured out where Art lives, without any help. I wish I would have had the nerve to talk to him, but I didn’t think it would be cool, Art likes and deserves his privacy.
I remember the bogus Art Bell “Scandals”.
I miss Art Bell, he was my best friend through many long, dark nights.
And then….And then….
It’s fine if it was time for Art to retire, but it SUCKS that Coast to Coast AM has been taken over by one of the nastiest Big Corporations there is, and they put a bunch of right-wing assholes (I do like George Knapp, he’s cool) on the air. But George Noory is an IDIOT. He’s so fucking gullible. He’s always pushing creationism, anti-science, anti-vaccination, all the worst stupid (even dangerous) shit. 99% of his guests are dangerous crackpots, 99% of the callers are assholes. The great guests Art used to have on the show have mostly, gradually, dropped out.
Recently I heard on NPR that many big advertisers like Walmart are cutting off right-wing Radio, and are actually having an effect on it. I hope so. I hope President Obama restores the Fairness Doctrine (“google” it if you don’t know what it was, but always use a non-google search engine).
Anyway, I wish I had the dough to buy the “georgenoorysucks” domain name. I could really do something with it, and I’m not talking about making money. It would just make me happy.
I hope you won’t sell “georgenoorysucks.com” to Clear Channel, or George, or Howard Stern, or something like that, because it would just disappear. I googled “George Noory Sucks” 4 or 5 years ago, and I laughed like hell. It still makes me happy.
na zdrowie!
unclejim8, overandout!

NWO world depopulation: George Noory again proves self to be idiot.www.abovetopsecret.com/forum/thread701680/pg1
posted on May, 10 2011 @ 03:39 AMlink So I was listening to Coast-to-Coast AM this evening, and Georgy Noory was interviewing Jim Marrs.
I really enjoy Jim Marrs, and have a lot of respect for him, but what I heard tonight made me want to bang my head against my steering wheel:
Jim and George got on the subject of the popular belief that the architects of the NWO have a sinister plan to drastically reduce human population. In attempting to debunk the fact that we do have a huge overpopulation problem, George Noory provided the anecdotal evidence that when he flies across our country, he's able to look down and see vast, unpopulated areas. He further asserted that in Hong Kong, there is much greater population density than what we're used to in the States, yet everybody gets along just fine.
So, in Noory's feeble mind, the question of overpopulation is simply one of physical space. No, George, you IDIOT, it's not about whether you can physically fit more people into a finite space. Nobody, I repeat, NOBODY has ever asserted that our planet does not have enough physical room to accommodate our ongoing population explosion.
The problem is that for every increase in population, you must have a corresponding increase in farms to grow crops and forests chopped down to make grazing lands for cattle, two things which are horribly injurious to our ecosystem, and which you can only do so much of. Furthermore, it takes a whole lot of fresh, clean drinking water to keep all those billions of new people alive.
It is only a matter of time before nations are fighting wars over access to fresh water.
Also, those vast, unpopulated areas George looks down on during his cross-country flights? Yeah, those are called wilderness areas. Perhaps George thinks it would be perfectly fine to clear-cut them, pave them over, and turn them into sprawling metropolises, but I think it would be a crime against God and nature.
As for this looney-tunes conspiracy theory about the NWO trying to reduce human population, take a look at our rapidly expanding population statistics, look at how many more humans are expected to be choking the life out of our planet fifty years from now, and you'll know that the NWO is failing miserably. I wish there really was somebody in power who was serious about curbing our wild and unsustainable population growth, and if such a leader existed, I would wish him every success in the world, because the alternative is the path we're currently on, which will not end well.
Perhaps you will disagree with me. That's fine. But at least you probably understand that the problem of overpopulation is one of limited resources and pollution, and not one of physical space.
For George to dismiss this issue by citing all the unused square footage available here in America is about as intellectually sound as a so-called climate change skeptic noticing that it happens to be cold on a winter day and therefore concluding that global warming is not taking place.

Why do people hate George Noory?www.abovetopsecret.com/forum/thread952997/pg2

I'm glad you brought this up. George Noory's IQ is too low to host the show. I say this with all due respect. He does zero research or background (reading about them, coming up with intriguing questions, etc). He is the host and it's his job to come up with compelling questions. He botches every interview and it absolutely drives me crazy!

THE GHOST OF COAST COMMENTARIES AND OBSERVATIONS ON LATE NIGHT RADIO PROGRAM COAST TO COAST AM AND IT'S SISTER SHOW, COAST TO COAST LIVE.ghostofcoast.blogspot.com/2007/03/all-his-exes-live-in-sherman-oaks.html
......and on to another subject: In his Coast to Coast Streamlink Chat from February 13, he revealed to us that he was married to his high school sweetheart in 1970, and they were married for 17 years. So the nice Catholic Boy divorced her in 1987, it looks like. In 1988 he says he married a lovely woman named Lisa, who he then divorced in 1988. That's what he said. Married and divorced in the same year. It might have been a typo on his part, he mighta meant 1998.
That would make a little more sense, since in his interview with Whitley, I believe it was, he said that he had to go back to at radio station KTRS in St. Louis after he and his wife realized they were running out of money after his self-owned "production company" went belly up. But maybe he did mean 1988. In which case the above story would be a lie.
If it was 1998, however, it brings about this possible scenario: So old Georgie boy left his previous radio career to start his own production company, which almost undoubtedly was a rinky-dink operation that probably did nothing more spectacular than cheap sleazy local t.v. commercials for used-car lots and other local businesses too cheap or small to afford a proper commercial.
So the business tanks and Noory is out of work for how long? I don't think he mentioned that, but it's funny that it never dawned on him that eventually he was gonna run out of cash to pay bills. Or that his wife wasn't aware of their dwindling funds sooner than that. We already know that Noory tried to keep his switching of his major in college a secret from his father for as long as possible before he told him. (Actually, he didn't ever "tell" his dad, he waited for his grades to come in the mail and his dad found out that Georgie boy switched from Pre-Dent to Broadcasting when he saw the class listings on the report card.) So maybe Noory was also trying to keep their dwindling savings from his wife for as long as possible, too. ( IF he was even married at the time....)
Alright then, so "they're" going broke, so Noory goes back to the station he used to work at and begs for a job. Not how he worded it, but he told whoever was interviewing him that they gave him a part-time night shift. He didn't start out with his Night Hawk schtick right off the bat. And he wasn't even remotely "famous" at the time, so he had to be getting paid what any late night broadcaster gets paid, which is about doodley-squat.
Part-time Doodley Squat, I might add. Certainly not enough to pay the bills for him and his "wife?". If they were divorced in 1998 rather than 1988, maybe it wasn't because of his weird, late night hours, as he claims, but because his wife was sick and tired of his fiscal irresponsibility. I don't know if Premiere Radio and Coast paid for his move out to California or not- but if you think about it, he must have been about plumb broke when he got signed full-time to Coast, which may explain why it appears that his 2cd ex-wife, Lisa, might have had to co-sign on his apartment or condo or whatever he has out there.
I received this very interesting email from someone on June 13, 2006, while I was gathering questions for my radio interview with George Noory:
"One other thing, I found George listed on a genealogy site I subscribe to with addresses both in Sherman Oaks and in St. Louis. The thing is, they list a Lisa Noory, age 41 as living with him in Sherman Oaks. I know he says he's not married, but was at least once. This Lisa would be about 15 years younger than him. Sounds a lot like a second wife to me. But he said very recently on a show that he wasn't married. He has at least one daughter, but she can't be 41! I don't remember her name. "
How 'bout them apples? I wonder why it's only been recently that he's even mentioned a second wife, don't you? Up until now, he's definitely made it seem as if it was just the first wife. On his Wikipedia entry there's only the one wife mentioned, and he's done nothing to dispell that notion. And I know he & Lex (or somebody) must read that entry at least once a day in order to do "damage control", as people are often getting on there and changing some of the text to say rude things about him.
Brief aside - how about Noory the other night, asking a caller if her father was Native American after she had stated at the beginning of her call that he was a Crow Indian. Cecil said you could practically hear him reading various message boards and fan mail on the computer during all the "ohmpen lines" calls that night.
Just a thought: If Noory believes there are no coincidences, and that Fate has everything planned out for us, why does he bother doing mass conciousness expuhrments or carrying a number 8 in his pocket? And if the number 8 is so all-fired, sure thing lucky, why doesn't Dale Earnhardt Jr. win every race?
What's up with: Noory's latest obsession, that he is constantly trying to arrange while he's on the air, with interviewing people in prison? In his recent chat he said he wants to interview Sirhan Sirhan, elsewhere he's mentioned the BTK Killer and Mark David Chapman and I'm pretty sure Manuel Noriega. He's like a poor man's Geraldo Rivera. Which is about like saying he's the sleaziest scumbag of all sleazy scumbags.
Parting notes: It's not nice to call a person a liar, but after the Dimitri the Devil Channeler fiasco, Noory claimed that they would never have "that guy" on the air again. And now they've gone out of their way to schedule him for an hour "debate" with Sub-Genius Fundamentalist Pretender, J.C. -- who Noory insisted in his most recent chat,
In that chat he also stated that his "dream cars" would be Mercedes, Escalades and Jaguars.
When asked if he was into amateur radio like Art, he said, "No.", even though when he started out on Coast he claimed he had "always been fascinated by" HAM radio and intended to get himself a set up once he got settled in LA.
When asked if he ever took cruises, he said, "I cruise to the Carribean."
When asked if he liked ZZ Top, he replied "Love the show and admire Billy Gibbons." , even though Noory said he'd never seen the band live when Billy Gibbons was on the air with him.
When asked if J.C. was the real deal, Noory said that he was afraid he was. I realize that there are still quite a few simple people out there who insist on believing J.C. is not a prankster and / or a character, but a lot of the folks who still are on the fence have been told repeatedly that he's a member of the Church of the Sub-Genius, and Noory has even had another Sub-G. minister named Chuck Roast call in and verify that J.C. is "one of theirs", and they still insist on "wondering" if J.C. is for real or not. I don't know what to say about that kind of stupidity. BUT, it should go without saying that by now even Noory HAS to know he's play-acting - yet he still insists about lying and pretending he's the real dea.. Just as he lies about Dimitri the Devil Channeler being the real deal. Even after Noory confessed on the air that they had deliberately tampered with his voice.
Somebody asked him what the largest turn out was at his book signings and his reply was that they all were "huge". Oh yeah? Huge compared to what? Certainly not to Art Bell's book signings, where the joints were packed and people lined up around the the block. POSTED BY THE DIXIE BUTCHER AT 10:23 AM
