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.

Dull and boring. How stupid can you get to believe all the crap he spouts. he has the brains and communicative ability of a toad.

What an idiot! Reminds me of Chauncy Gardener from the movie "Being There." He can boringly expound on his non-ideas longer than any host on radio. How about the way a guest will state a fact, and then George will simply paraphrase it and then ask it back as a question. I laughed outloud when I read the comment about knicknaming him "Shut-up George." I myself am always yelling that same thing at the radio after his non-stop inane comments. Bring back Art Bell full time. PLEASE!!

George is a Wonderful addition to Art Bell's Line-up

This idiot thinks "Eddie and the Cruisers" was a real band and "one of those unexplained mysteries" "did they ever find Eddie?" I almost fell off my chair laughing. I've heard him many times agreeing with both sides of issues stated by different guests on different shows. He is a "Yesman" all the way and values a "good show" more than actual truth or investigation. Get rid of him ART PLEASE!!!

George killed a show that was for me a must listen. Art kept politics out of the show and it was my harbor from the world, now George trots out one leftwing nut after another. Please come back art! I miss my ghosts,goblins,ufos and mysteries.

I use to listen to Coast to Coast every night. Now that Art only does the weekends, that is all I listen to. I am still a stream link member and download Art's classic shows. George is a complete bore to me...does poor interviews and at times the guest is able to save the show. He should go back to St. Louis and be their "nighthawk", he certainly isn't mine. I'll probably quit stream link, because I don't think I get enough out of it with just two nights of Art.

George is a gentleman. Hard to come by these days, especially on the radio. When other hosts are narrow-minded, arrogant, refuse to hear an opposing opinion and suffer the idiots to go on and on rather than turn the floor to an intelligent caller, George is the epitomy of Democracy on the air. Coast to Coast is a brilliant, entertaining, thought-provoking exploration of all things scientific and extroadinary. Why worry if belief in things unknown and unexplained makes us fools. Those who fear delving into the mysteries, miss the dessert of life.

I cringe each time George repeats back in the form of a question that which his guest has just stated. Nice Interview technique! A little research might prove useful. I have listened to this show for more than 12 years and realize that Art had a special talent but why this guy? Obviously he has a personal agenda. Anyone actually speak with the producer and ask that question?

Terrible....George Snoory...

How can Premiere keep such an idiot as host?

noory is going off the deep end. he has been encouraging nuts and just goes along with even the most insane stuff guests say. at least with art bell you are never sure if he is seriously considering the crazy stuff his guests talk about. george is not well schooled, nor is he intelligent.

George likes to pat himself on the back too much. Maybe because not many others will. Doesn't come close to being as good as Art Bell.

this guy thinks its all about him, e.g. if "I" were abducted, or whatever; his phone mannerisms are hard to take, obsequious in the extreme; if the guest has something to discuss besides ghosts and "predictions" this host is lost because he doesn't have much knowledge about anything else; it may be a necessary element of this type of show, but not everything is a government conspiracy--he cannot distinguish between separate events and issues; the quality of the guests has declined significantly since he took over the show-- that "numbers lady", fore example, is truly the bottom of the barrel

The smartest talk-radio listeners in the world used to tune in Coast To Coast AM. (Just look at the literate quality of the lowest ratings on RateItAll.) So, why does the show have the world's dumbest host? OK...Art Bell is a once-in-a-generation genius; he'll never be equaled. But George doesn't even come close! Here are some reasons: George asks his brilliant guests dull questions that often sound like non sequiturs: "Do you believe it's the anichrist?" He uses 'yes-no' closed-end questions that show his failure of imagination to penetrate and reveal an expert's depth of knoweldge. Finally, George frequently shifts the guest out of the spotlight and takes his place; the substitution is a bad deal for listeners, many of whom give up a night's sleep for a few hours of Coast. Want proof? George uses a recurring phrase, "I've always believed...". Now the topic is not about the guest, it's about the host! (By the way, whether George has "always" believed anything doesn't matter. Who cares?) Judging from the lowest RateItAll ratings for George, smart Coast listeners build up a sleep surplus during the week so they can stay up on the weekend and hear Art Bell. Just the sound of that rumbling baritone promises a rewarding trade-off. On the other hand, if you read the highest ratings, you'll see further evidence of the dumbing down of Coast's weekday audience. Look, as a Coast listener, if all you've ever known is George Noory, he might sound OK because you don't know what you've missed. However, for veteran listeners, callers, and above all, guests, the Coast To Coast AM well has run dry... and we miss the water!

I've never seen a talk show host assassinate a good show faster than George Noory. George is an extreme political bigot and he talks way too much about himself. Even if you agree with his political posture, how do you reconcile the shallow interviews and overtly insulting comments toward guests conservative opinions? Either he is too far gone to notice what he does, or he's so diabolically predatory that he will only permit those that share his opinion to be a guest or call in. I notice that he is gravitating toward people from the profession of academia, a liberal haven if anti-Bush opinions. He promotes his experience as a Journalist. Why is that? Does he think he'll have more credibility if people know he's a Journalist? Being a Journalist is nothing to brag about these days with Dan Rather as a colleague. Don't bother writing to the producer. Based on her response to my observations regarding George's political bias, she must be listening to a different radio show. If you want a change then just don't support the sponsors, and keep writing the producer. Dont be shy. Coast to Coast is one of the best shows on the air, and we should do what we can to restore the show to the quality program that first attracted our patronage.

Man is George acting like moron or is he for real? OMG, first the Oscar thing (guy making scary voice any one can do) and now the interviewing the devil thing? ..and the synthesized voice on the so called "medium" on the site now.PU-LEEZ we arent that dumb.I really hope he doesnt believe this crap lol.hes already almost ruined c2c.seems like a kiddy show.

Yes, I have a tragic comment to make. A good friend of mine suffers terribly from depression. I have spent many,many hours holding his mental hand. I was pleased that we seemed to be making progress. he seemed happier, less inclined to doom and gloom thinking. then a couple of months ago he discovered George Norrys show. One night he called me up at 4A.M. and said "whats the point,the worlds going to end ya know". He had been telling me for weeks about somthing called End Times hed heard on the show. I got a call at 7A.M from the local hospital to tell me that my friend had overdosed on some prescription drug. Norrys show was I believe the cause. He should in the future bee more aware of what harm his show can do.

George showed me his true nose up in the air personality when one time I emailed him. I wrote that he was doing a good job (only to boost his ego) but that the bumper music was getting really bad and that it didn't relate to the subject matter of each show like Art did. The bumper music would set the mood. George's bumper music is all over the road and doesn't relate. Moreover it is distracting and many nights I just turn off the radio. I suggested politely to George that he or whoever chooses the music, use the original bumper music or try to find music that relates to the subject matter for that night. To my amazement George responded via email. "This is (my) original music." That was all he wrote. In other words this is my show now. Hmm he really cares about his listeners eh? His arrogance is becoming a real deterrent for listeners it seems.

Okay, here is some of my take on George Noory. I have listened to Art for more than 10 years. I own the VersaCorder and ReelTalk and faithfully recorded the show nightly for many years. I know the show and its guests inside and out. 1. When George took over the show, he promised he would expand it to 5 hours -- like Art use to do. He hasn't. 2. He uses call screeners -- Art would cut his wrists before he used a call screener. I remember when Art would skillfully and fairly handle a critical caller. In the years I have been recording George, NOT ONCE have I heard a caller criticize him. All you hear is how wonderful George is. 3. Without exception, George has never -- I mean never in almost 5 years gotten through the beginning of his show without mutilating some portion of his monologue -- Mr. Malaprop[ism]. Not only is he Mr. Malaprop, he cannot pronounce many words of more than three syllables and he is the master of the cliche. 4. George has never answered a call line without saying "Hi there!" Does this grate on anyone else's nerves? Art would simply say, " . . . you're are on the air." 5. George took a dislike to Richard Hoagland early on and this was disturbing. Of course Richard is scientifically literate and articulate -- George is not. I have on tape where one night Hoagland was mentioning one of his upcoming conferences and you could hear George say under his breath "Oh come on Richard -- stop peddling your conference." This was offensive and is further proof (as others have argued on this site) that George is really a nasty SOB -- rather than just the nauseatingly phony patronizer he is on the radio. Of course, George is sucking up to Richard now every time he is on the show. You are transparent George. 6. And one more thing about Noory and Hoagland – George is very slick -- because although Hoagland is on more often now -- George keeps him on a short leash -- only having him on for short periods or stuffing him in to one of those superficial "Round Table Discussions." 7. Speaking of "Round Table Discussions" -- this format totally runs contrary to the 4-hour, in-depth one-on-one interviews that Art Bell pioneered. Sad but true, George simply is not intelligent or knowledgeable enough to pull off such a feat. 8. Does anyone realize what George is doing with his heavy use of the word CHAT? Instead of interviewing someone, he refers to it as chatting with the person. "Well, let's chat for a little while about . . ." What George is doing is lowering expectations -- you don't expect much out of a chat session, but you do in a genuine interview -- you know, like the ones Art use to do? 9. I would bet a large sum of money that George does not read books. Oh sure, he alludes to books, and even leads you to believe he has read a guest's book -- but he is shallow -- painfully shallow and you know in your heart that he is a genuine tap dancer who has not read the book he is discussing with the author. Again, unlike Art Bell who devours books by the dozen. 10. Finally, WHAT THE HELL IS PREMIERE RADIO NETWORK THINKING BY KEEPING THIS IDIOT ON THE RADIO? Lisa Lyons, or anyone out there, are you listening? Get rid of this moron.

I like listening to Coast To Coast AM period...:) George Noory is down-to-earth it seems to me. Been listening ever since 16. I got hooked! :D

George, lacking the natural talent of his predecessor Art Bell, has resorted to transparently pandering to the un-hinged political left in order to keep his numbers up. This of course has the left doing gleeful backflips as George brings one Bush-bashing wingnut after another onto his show. In this process he's abandoning the market that Mr. Bell built...an apolitical one that tuned in simply to hear that velvet voice work his far-out guests and his callers with the skill of a true artist. The last straw for me was last night, when George tried his best to get his guest to implicate the Bush administration in the New Orleans catastrophe. (Read the record on how Bill Clinton rejected a plan by the Army Corps of Engineers to reinforce the levies.) I changed the channel for the very last time just as George was launching into his fictional account of how Super Prostate Formula just might have saved his life. He's now gotten the impression that he can say and do anything and people will just go duh... No more for me thanks.

I've been listening to Coast To Coast for almost a year now and while I enjoy Art Bell, I absolutely adore George Noory. He seems like a very down to earth person, even when his subject matter is not. His voice, in my opinion, just radiates warmth. After a long and stressful day, it is so relaxing to lay
