For someone who was a big fan of Coast when Arthur was at the helm it is painful to tune in and listen to Noory. It's hard to believe that producers chose to go with this guy. He has no in depth knowledge of anything. Lost is the objectivity that came with Art when he had a guest who made some type of outrageous claim. Noory swallows everything thrown at him whole, always making sure he's PC and not offending anybody. At times, when he has an intelligent guest, I've sensed they've been embarrassed at his stupidity. A Numbers Lady? are you kidding me? out and out frauds to anyone with a brain, but treated as a respected scholar by Georgie. So sad.

I listen to Coast to Coast AM usually when I get up at 3:00 AM to get ready for work.

While I agree with a some of the negative comments here, it doesn't mean that George Noory is a terrible radio host, it's just that Art Bell was better. I consider him average and generic.

His biggest fault of course is that he never questions or challenges the assertions of his guests and I usually roll my eyes when the topic of the show is about UFOs, ghosts, etc. I'll only pay attention if the show's topic is about more serious matters.

When Art Bell was hosting, no matter how ridiculous and over the top the topic was, he knew how to keep the audience interested.

George Noory's brain is so small the alien implants are stoop-shouldered.

But seriously, The Official George Noory Sucks Thread has become a landmark on the internet. His defenders there are rare and include a racist, bi-polar schizophrenic who got caught selling stolen merchandise on the internet, and an apparent shemale who brags about torturing animals and is in love with George. Both are mean drunks who slur their typing.

Because of George's enthusiastic, dark fascination with Doomsday, especially 2012, the authorities have been alerted to watch for the formation of a suicide cult among his followers, "The Light Workers." The group is named after Noory's book. The consumer reviews of the book at Amazon are a must-read.

Opinions of George have to be posted in places like this and countless forums across the internet because he screens callers during the program to include only listeners who, to their credit, prove that one doesn't need thumbs to operate a radio. (Art Bell, on the other hand, never screened his callers and the difference was a good 50 IQ points. Maybe 75.)

In the 50 years I've listened to radio, George Noory is the laziest broadcast personality I've ever heard. The thought of the man who ruined one of the very best programs in broadcast history now out and about selling his autograph speaks for itself.

I can't believe we're talking about the same show. He's a great host, far superior to Art Bell, who editorializes and tries to evangelize guests and callers to believe exactly what he does, and criticizes the ones who do not. Sort of out of place on that kind of a show. I listen most nights, especially if I'm driving. My only complaints are sometimes the guests are SO far out that even I can't entertain their beliefs as being remotely possible, and sometimes the topics are too redundant. But, by and large, George rocks!

George has very little knowledge about any of the subjects he deals with. He constantly compares what are supposed to be real life situations with some movie or other that he has seen. He actually believes that something blocked the sun during the dark ages, thus the description "dark". He makes more stupid mistakes than any one person should be allowed. What this comes down to is he has taken a great show and crashed it into the ground.

Great host! Good show! I like the first hour news and special guests. I also like that George has "floating formats" when there are important events and he often gets great guests on short notice.

I am a Shadow Person, so I get really enraged when George talks about my people. Sure, he has no idea what he's talking about. But what really gets me going is when he interrupts one of this guests who is talking about any subject EXCEPT shadow people, and then -- completely out of the blue -- interjects with something like this: "So, do you suppose Shadow People were involved? Arrrggh!

Of course, the guest is flummoxed. Depending on their "suck-up" factor, they will either humor him or mildly disagree. However, no one has every said, "what the hell does THAT have to do with anything, George?" Are his guests diplomats, or are they morons, too?

i try to like the c2c show..i really do..but...i can't take it anymore..after a couple of weeks ago when george had that complete idiot richard c. hoagland on...hoagland claimed, his theory, that after wwII , that von braun and goddard and those german rocket guys, came to nasa..so that they could ultimatley build rockets to take them back to mars..where the superior german race came from..he actually said that....,and george did nothing at all to quetion such an idiotic claim....he thinks hoagland is god....and i guess this proves that morons of a feather stick together...

I've already gone through the phase of posting angry rants toward George Noory for all of the same reasons everyone else has posted here...SO, let me just tactfully say that it would be GREAT if George would just take another job more suited to him and leave the spot open for a host that would do the show justice (NOT Ian Punnett- he is not a good match for the show either even if he is better than Noory). 

Art Bell is in fact great. I am new to the late night radio scene (started one year ago), so I never heard Bell until a few back moments in time. BUT, if you've never heard Art Bell do a C2C show, George Noory's conducting of C2C is GREAT compared to the mindless radio and TV/Cable shows out there. However, Bell has too many personal soap operas and is apparently a drama queen and CAN'T OR IS UNWILLING TO DO THE SHOW, therefore, Premier hired Noory. Noory lets the authors he interviews have full reign, he does not, as some posts have said, cut off his guests. The guests always get to blab on and on. Noory steers them to coherence sometimes, pointing them to a cogent topic from their respective books - which he knows about since he is in fact prepared for the show and has obviously read the guest's works. Bell can't handle a job apparently. Noory is very dedicated and gets it. The Bellobots need to get over it. Noory has the show because Bell doesn't care about the listeners enough to keep his personal life together in order to do the show.

This guy is an asshat. If you asked a donut to interview someone, you'd probably get a Noory style interview. I swear this clown is related to GW Bush. I laugh myself to sleep almost nightly at his attempts to probe the depths of his guest's minds. Imagine the poor educated authors that are trying to flog their books and the torture of being interviewed by this git!

Can we all pull together and exsibilate him?

Enough already Noory! Sissssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss!

Where does one send criticisms of this man? The producers? Are there any other shows like C2C with a better host/interviewer?  Almost find it hard to believe there is this much contrast in the interviewing skills between Art Bell and this clown. I actually find it funny that they can just replace someone of true quality with a guy like this and act like nothing has changed. What goes up must come down I guess.

Noory is the worst talk show host in the US and is personally doing as much as he can to "dumb down" the whole country. I just hope there are no children or even teenagers listening to his bogus science and views of the world.

Pulls me out of my own thoughts and into more refreshing topics of thought.
I think he is marvelous.

George Noory has singlehandedly destroyed one of the few late night shows that I used to listen to religiously. George has absolutely no interviewing skills, no discernable talent and no business being on the air. He regularly mumbles and stutters, seems distracted during the "interview" with the guest and talks over the guest and the callers. I can't even listen anymore and have turned to Phil Hendrie.

Just attempting to listen to Noory has dumbed me down so much I can't even write a review. My god, he is terrible. Does premier not realise the audience is TRYING to listen?

To his credit, (I guess) he has an audience suitable of roles in idiocracy. So, I guess they might be having fun. If the is the majority at this point, I give up. Georges theme song should be "She's not there."

Zombies... and Clear channel doesn't care. They aren't there either.

George seems like a nice enough guy - but he does NOT have what it takes to do C2C. He asks the same questions over and over (was it an portal? and angel? a robot? &c) And he doesn't challenge his guest or callers the way Ian Punnett and George Knapp do - and Art Bell certainly did. It all seems so terribly watered down!

I will preface this by saying that I have listened to Art Bell since he was doing political discussions on KDWN in Las Vegas. I used to think his show was great after he transitioned to discussions of the paranormal, and, like many others, I suffered through his constant dramas and absences. But this review isn't about THAT show; it's about the "new" Coast To Coast AM...

I have to agree with those here who say that George is among the worst interviewers they have ever heard. I'm sure he is a perfectly nice guy, but he can't conduct an interview to save his life... George is just NEVER prepared -- and hey, they pay him to be prepared to conduct effective interviews. (Or maybe Premiere will say, "No, we pay him to increase ratings...) He constantly steers guests away from areas that are potentially interesting. When the show goes to break, he is INCAPABLE of returning to the topic previously under discussion, even when that discussion was not complete. I think George is doing his taxes during the show. At least he sounds like it...

It is almost as if he comes in an hour before the show, learns who the guest and the topic is, and then asks a staff member to write down some generic questions. Then, when he's interviewing, he'll interrupt the guest (who is talking about something really interesting), and ask, "So what got you interested in this profession/interest/research/whatever?" Then we never get back to what they were talking about. Sometimes I can hear the frustration in the guest's voice.

His constant refrain has become, over the past several months, "I love it." Well, I wish his listeners and guests loved it. It's like George just can't get to callers soon enough so listener's won't expect anything more from him -- he can pretty much stop talking. Oh, but I got a kick out of it the other night when he was doing a show about oil/alternative fuels and someone asked him what kind of car he drives. I'll paraphrase his response: "Er... I don't like to give that out because someone might follow me. It's American though!" Shoot, what he doesn't want to admit is that it's a big honking Cadillac...

So this show makes it because it's the only game in town -- well, maybe that's an overstatement because there are some very good local/regional early A.M. shows. But C2C is the only *national* show at that hour of the early A.M. because it's still rolling on the head of steam that Art provided. However, if someone came out and syndicated a quality show that actually deals with the paranormal and various conspiracy-related topics, I've got to believe listeners would abandon C2C in droves.

If the good folks at Premiere are happy with the penetration of this show now, they should try getting a good host and they'd see things getting even better.

Somebody finally got to this dick head last night, but he is too stoopid to know it. If you've listened to this dust mop enough times, then you will know that not one night goes by that he doesn't say, "You know...I don't believe in coincidences."

Well, last night Noory was in way over his head. His guest was physicist and writer Leonard Mlodinow who just happens to be co-authoring a book with Stephen Hawkings. Mlodindow's main subject was "randomn events". So, I held my breath and waited and waited and waited...until Noory just couldn't hold it in any longer. It kind of reminded me of the scene from Roger Rabbit, when Judge Doom taps the sing-songie "Shave and a shoeshine...." on the wall...knowing that no Toon can resist ending the line (Two Bits!)

Well, George did it..."confessing" to one of the world's leading physicists that he doesn't believe in coincidences. And I think that Mlodinow was ready for him. His response?

"Well, George, at your age, you SHOULD have some sort of a definite mindset."

Noory's response?

"Let's take some calls."

Like birds and airplanes...

Woooo!Hooo!, George is the greatest. His voice makes me melt every nights and makes me want to come down out of the night sky after him. He is such suckkkee hottee! I just can't get enough. When I am not listening to him on the radio and I am planning my next trip as since I have found my true passion I have become a George Noory groupie and now shadow him at all of his meet and greets. I have a collection of pictures signed by George. I would like to put on the "Official" George Noory Sucks Thread for everyone to see. I give him a five star plus.

George Noory has ruined a once great show. His lack of intelligence and interviewing abilities become apparent a few minutes into the show.

There's something fishy going on when a person so devoid of talent gets to be the host of a national radio talk show. Things like this usually happen when there are monied interests behind the scenes using a shill to promote their ideologies and agendas. Poor George Noory. He probably thinks he's actually "somebody." That's the sad part. One day he'll wake up, realize the joke's been on him, and go back to St. Louis.

wow, he just doesn't listen to the guest or pick up on the key points of the interview... never probes or plays 'devils advocate' to challenge a guest or caller... C2C really sucks now!! awful!!

What moron could think George 'Snoory' Noory is anything other than an idiot. Snoory is dumber than a fence post. A guest can talk about let's say, water being on Mars for ten minutes, and Snoory will then ask the guest, "Do you think there is water on Mars?" Snoory is a numnut folks.

Thank goodness George took over. Now I can get some sleep. There's no point in listening anymore.

How can I provide a vote below zero? He doesn't even listen to his guests, his cue to go to the next question on his pre-written script is only from the pause in the guests voice. Can he be this big of a dick in person? Anybody really meet him?

He has got to be the worst radio talk show host I have ever heard

I discovered C2C one night about 9 years ago and was so glad to have found alternative radio topics. I was also drawn in by Art's voice and interviewing skills (devil's advocate; challenging opinions and accepted facts; offering his own speculation to counter or support his guest(s)), which prompted me to stay tuned through topics that I had little interest in. Art also handled a variety of topics and didn't seem so "star-struck" as George Noory does. When GN took over, I was skeptical but decided that he deserved a fair chance. Sadly, I've come to agree with all of the criticisms here so far. I turn him off at least 5 nights a week and eagerly await the presence any guest host there is. I cringe to think of him "chatting" with the likes of Michio Kaku, or even Gordon Michael Scallion or Matthew Alper. Apparently, Rollye James will not be returning as a guest host. I like Ian and George Knapp. (Hey, whatever happened to Hilly Rose?) I don't know what can be done, as a listener. Perhaps just stop listening for a while and let the ratings plummet. Then tune in and see if GN is still hosting. Sooner or later, someone will get the point. If people express an interest in the show and its topics, I don't think it's likely that they would cancel C2C altogether, simply its current host.

George is Number 1! He's the best. He convinced me (via his astonishly great book "Worker in The Light") to stop pretending that I was an attractive Irish woman living in Edinburgh Scotland and come to terms with the fact that I am just a Kentuckian transexual sperm bucket named Jim.

As a homosexual janitor at a large West Coast University, I have to say that listening to someone as sane and normal as George Noory enrages me for the foul, self abasing, sexually deviant acts I engage in with anonymous men at truck stop washrooms, where I wallow in the man gravy of truckers and balding middle managers hung in completely the opposite manner to which their bulging midriffs are endowed. George's book "Worker in the light", has shown me the error of my sodomous ways, and has made me be a better and cleaner janitor. But I still like to pretend I am a Professor. I blew one once. Close enough.

George Noory is the best! Great guests, incisive interviews and pure entertainment. Kate*

Just terrible!

George just keeps getting better! An Ian is a blast. I love the work they do and they obviously love the work they do. As an all night janitor at the Ingham Regional Medical Center in East Lansing Michigan, I am up all night listening to the show.   Mindy Sue Jones

What a jackass! I miss Coast so much. I just can't bear to listen anymore to such potentially fascinating interviews totally destroyed by a host who is doing his best to dumb down the show so much it will only be of interest to "sheeple".

As with Art Bell's show, I like goofy stuff about things that go bump in the night. I am a skeptic but it is fun to listen to all the strangeness out there and the people who believe it. It was kind of like listening to Radio Tirana on short wave in the old days.

-more producers, more preparation, more something......Noory's questions, follow-ups, and responses to his quests tells me he's half asleep at the helm. If Premier doesn't make some changes soon, George will sink the mother ship...

Coast use to be a great show... but then again i started listening when i was about 12... I am 20 years old and and in 3rd year university and I feel George speaks better to a child's crowd rather than higher educated individuals.

I will continue to listen however since it has become custom to fall asleep listening to coast to coast but things have to get better, I am not sure I can take this anymore!! :P

please....tell me when noory is gone....i miss coast to coast so much....been listening to c2c 1995...art...please come back and save this show!!!!

GN is boring, his questions are silly and make me feel I'm waisting my time each time I tune to it. I really miss Art Bell's personality.

My wife and I are fed up with George. We cannot even listen anymore (we were both big Art Bell fans).

We both like the more intelligent, introspective Ian Punnett. He has the 'right stuff' to take over Art's legacy.

He does not listen to what his Guest's are saying. His audiance is at (now) a 5th grade level, as is he. He has done everything and is a
expert on everything, (not). His questions many times are not connected to the subject, kind of like he is reading something else as he
tries to do the show. Instead of growing with time he is shrinking. It is amazing how quickly he has taken a great program to such a
low level, in reality it is sad because I once loved it. Otherwise it is just great.

George Noory is the best! His book, Worker in the Light has inspired me to get help with my OCD - I'm a germaphobe. It has made me more willing to come out as my new personna - bjsiisie. I have a profile and pix at squirt.com. It's hard to indulge my sexual fantasies when you worry about germs! Also his inspirational voice and book have given me the strength to soldier on as a Ron Paul supporter. That loudmouth in the micro mini at the next rally - THAT'S ME! Thank you George Noory! I owe you a bj you inspirational hottee you!

Noory is such an idiot...has a top physicist on discussing his experience with out of body realities but Noory is so stupid he can't interview the man adequately enough to find out what he sees and how he sees.  The physicist is obviously quite frustrated with the interview.  He's trying so hard to explain the various areas of reality,  but George can only ask stupid questions like..."when you wrote your book, what was your favorite chapter??!!!"  ARGHH!!!  We're all out here hanging on trying to get some incredible information and have to put up with this.

I believe George Noory is doing a Great Job. KUDOS George!

Snorry is the worst host ever.

Is there a 0 rating here? He's boring! Doesn't know how to extract information from his guests and sticks to a lazy man's talk show format with multiple guests and pre scripted questions. This guy should be thrown out NOW! Bring Art back or get someone with a brain in this show! I miss the science, the one on one, the dark humor and intrigue. Noory is a mid western a-hole who thinks too much of himself. He is a self absorbed lazy dimwit.

Mr. Norry does not know that he does not know. He has many beliefs. Beliefs do not need to be back up with facts, information, or research. He has opinions. Opinions need little thinking. He also seems to have a fake dog. The perfect pet for the fake host.

George Noory has the interviewing ability of a fourth grader. Even when he has interesting guests on, he cannot ask any questions deeper than a creek in the summertime. I once was an avid Coast listener and now I can barely even stand to get through the first hour. It's terrible. They have even taken to censoring posts that criticize George at Streamlink. He just posted a threat to sue Fantastic Forum for comments made there about him. He's on a rampage. If you are confident in your ability to host a show, you don't need to attack.

He's going to singlehandedly destroy Coast.

I find it amazing that no one in this post has commented on how long the commercial breaks on C2C are. I can remember about 3 yrs ago when George made it a point to say that the commercial breaks would be shortened. Oh my G.... not only have they not been shortened but he added a few more minutes. George usually cuts his interviews 2 to 3 minutes before the top or bottom of the hour for breaks and I`ve checked my watch and I don`t know how many times these breaks would last for 11 to 12 minutes, and you listen to the show because......  you need that Vegas vacation or sese radio???  The only reason late night a.m. radio can get away with this is because when every station you tune to has the same show on you can damn well be sure that fluff propaganda is well on it`s way. And you know that George is all about fluff and not fact.
