George Noory, Is a very special compassionate person and it hurts my soul to read some of the awful reviews that people write. It makes me wonder just what kind of individuals take their time to write such awful comments...Perhaps they need to get a better way of life. I along with millions of others wait patiently ever night for the C2C music to come on. George, you are doing a fantastic job...don't let those loosers get you down...for each bad review you have millions of other listeners behind you....we are all different....thank God for that.

Noory has dropped the overall appeal of the C2C show. His infantile comments and grade 3 level questions to any guest in the scientific realm is down right embarrassing. Once an astrophysicist, with diplomas up the wazoo, was explaining the trajectory and effects of near Earth asteroids, and Noory asks the question,'..what would happen if an asteroid 1000 miles wide were to hit the Earth?'.
Needless to say there was a pause before the guest politely replied, "well, an object that size would obviously cause total destruction...but if we take a smaller object, say the size of a house..."

I mean if you're a child that's ok to ask, but if you're to be a host on a major radio show that deals with subjects like science, you should be able to ask a more calculated question then that.

On another occasion, a caller suggested that if there's not that much oil left in the world , that the US should invade countries to take the oil back to the states and fill the strategic reserves,...and Noory said..'that sounds like a good idea to me', this was just two months before the invisible WMD's that led to the war were exposed. A week after that Noory was on air lambasting the administration for the false pretenses that led to the war.

It goes on and on, Noory must go, hire the other George, you'd only have to change the last name on the door.

The show is rubbish anymore.

When Art Bell was host you got hard core science and UFO stuff. Now it's almost all powderpuff subjects like angels, numerology/astrology, "celebrity" interviews, dream interpretation, ghost crap, prophesies, mayan calendar/"2012" this and "2012" that.

Noory does not seem to be very intelligent and he doesn't ask critical questions of his guests like Art Bell would.

If the producers are smart they'll get rid of Noory in favor of either George Knapp, or John Lear or someone like them. I only listen when Knapp is hosting and the rare times when Art himself decides to host.

BTW: Screening calls sucks and its totally against what Art Bell did. The spirit of the show has been compromised.

This show went from a sort of "Real Life X-Files" to a a real joke.

It bothers me that the lowest rating I could give George Noory is one star because he deserves negative 100. Premrad is really scraping the bottom of the barrel. He must come cheap and you get what you pay for. He always sounds like it is his first week on the air. He has to go.

Love ya George! Keep up the Awesome Job!

Did I hear Noory right?  He said the show has the second highest rating of  syndicated radio-dom, second only to Rush? 
That is SO hard to believe.
I must have got it wrong.

Okay, from now on, let us all refer to George as Alfred E. Noory whose favorite saying is --- "What? Me Show Prep?"

Get it -- a take off from MAD Magazine. In my personal opinion, this guy is a moron. See my previous review a few years back.

It's getting better because they not all about UFO's and more credible sounding people are calling in. He competes with Savage in my market and I switch to coast to coast when the line up is more my interests

This is an arrogant host that contradicts himself time after time. He encourages people to e-mail him, which I have done many times but too no avail as he cannot even respond to any of my questions or comments regarding the guests and topics! This show is a shadow of what it was when the great Art Bell was the host, and will only improve when fans of the show start tuning out and e-mailing the producers to tell them why we are not listening anymore.
C2C use to be a nightly tradition for me and my friends, as we would gather by the radio and listen every night to the great topics/guests that graced the show. Lately it is a rehash of guests that agree with Noory and provide him with openings to show his intelligence(?). The weekend shows are better then the weekday shows, and the best shows are when Art Bell does his guest spots, which are far too few in number.
This show is nothing but a money grab as listeners are encouraged to pay to listen to podcasts, pay for newsletters, pay to listen to past shows etc. Now the great Noory has decided to grace us in Canada with his presence, but at a cost (platinum tickets are over $120.00) which gives you the pleasure of meeting and greeting him. If it is like the way he replies to e-mails he will walk through the room waving and shaking a few hands of specially selected people before he leaves the room without talking to anyone that he hasn't chosen beforehand.
Personally my rating of this host and his version of C2C would be -10 as he considers himself to be too important to respond to fans of the show that take the time to send in their questions/comment via e-mail. That was something that Art Bell never did to his listeners, it may have taken a few days to get a response, but one always came. Too bad George Noory isn't 1/10 the man/host that Art Bell is.
I use to listen nightly but the guests and topics are of such poor quality now that I would rather not waste my time listening to the garbage that passes for topics on C2C under George Noory.
Save the show, Bring back Art Bell! Or even promote some of the other hosts to the weekday slot, anything but continue with the Noory drivel and non responses to long time fans that send in e-mails at his request! As I stated above I have sent in at least a dozen e-mails, but got no responses from Noory. I sent Art Bell three e-mails and got a response to all three. Even Ian Punnett responded to the two e-mails I sent in and George Knapp also responded to the two e-mails I sent in. That shows me which hosts value their listeners and which host takes them for granted.
FIRE NOORY, BRING BACK ART BELL!

  George is unbearable. I'd never have believed it but, since my last review a year or two back, he's gotten even worse...consistently. This has nothing whatsoever to do with show topics. A good interviewer can make ANYTHING interesting. Case-in-point, Ian Punnett.
           Ian can take any mundane topic and find a way to make it interesting be it through wit, perspective, analysis, insight, basic intelligence, etc. George has none of these. George is a nice guy....and that's about it.
           I think he appeals to people who simply appreciate "nice guys". That's enough for some...and I get that. But it's not enough for the majority of the intellectual listeners out there who want to stimulate their brains a little. How much longer can this go on? For the love of all that is good and holy, bring Ian on FULL TIME! Hell, bring on George Knapp. I'd even take Richard C. Hoagland, heaven help us.

Noory has been caught lying on air many times. He has no credibility. Also, he has no talent.

George Noory is so bad at what he does it is laughable. And now he is charging $130 to meet him at a meet and greet?! This is a joke. This is not Coast to Coast anymore. It is now Shill to Shill with George Noory, your nightly infomercial host.

George Noory is such a terrible radio host that he has cut Art's listener's in half. According to Arbitron ratings, Art used to have 10 million listeners every week. Noory just about breaks 3 million. I don't know why he is still on the air. He has dumbed down the show to the point where it is barely unlistenable.

Been listening for about 5 years, and have noticed some things over time. First, it is obvious George is reading while he's interviewing guests - we know this bec. he's always interjecting with the fast-blast he just got. He's reading blasts and going to websites while he's on the air; consequently, he's tuned out his guests. What makes that fact most painfully obvious is his inappropriate responses when guests pause after speaking; and by inappropriate I mean incongruous. He'll wait a second too long, then after a really interesting or thought-provoking idea by guest, he'll just say, "Incredible. Just incredible." It's so obvious he didn't actually hear what the guest said or his comment would be one which would further the guest to go deeper, or at least he would comment on specifically the interesting thing the guest just said. He further proves he's not listening bec. he'll ask a question the answer to which the guest has just covered in the previous 2 minutes. I keep finding myself feeling embarassed for the guy, he really says some stupid things and says the same comments over and over every show. It's come to where I know exactly what he's probably going to say to someone. It's become a game for me. Maybe the younger listeners could make a drinking game out of it - if you guess the wrong innane response by George you have to drink. In George's defense, he's very fair and polite to the even bigger idiots who call in. Ian and Art have no patience for callers; let's face it, the 'average' person is actually below average; and they should realize that the way George does. He's patient and even kind with the chemically-addled, oxygen-deprived brains that are calling in. Ian is suffering from arrested development. He's so taken with himself and his sense of humor; he uses the show as a personal platform to do the 'material' that nobody would listen to him do in high school because he was such a dork. He uses guests' comments to form a witty quip to deliver, forgetting about the worth of the comment itself. And for a man of the cloth, his rage is surprisingly apparent. That should be one of the first things a truly spiritual person learns how to dissolve. He is one angry dude. He's paranoid; he always thinks guests and callers are trying to get over on him. If you listen regularly you will see this pattern. He suspects the worse motivations of people. How is that acting like a minister? His worse quality though, has got to be how smug he is with his self-depricating ironic humor. My assessment is that he is full of self-loathing, has zero self-esteem, and thinks he'll be loved by us through sheer pity for his nasty face for radio and insipid voice for print. He is really most concerned, in every show he hosts, with cranking out witty dry comments every possible chance he gets. And you can hear him smiling after he says them, can't you? Listen next time and see if you can't hear in his voice a big smile coming across his face when he tells what he thinks is a particulary clever quip. That is the only thing he respects about himself; but he respects it way more than he should. As far as Art goes, he's a mean curmudgeonly s.o.b. He's cranky and misongyistic (sp?). He dragged that poor girl away from her country and even disrepected her so much he changed the given and her accepted pronunciation of her name! Her name is pronounced (I-Reen) but he informed his audience after his nuptuals that he has chosen to call her (Erin). How fucked up is that? But what is someone in her position going to do about it? Nothing. No marriage of equals there. I guess I like George Knapp. Not much to complain about. Professional, interesting, but for some reason I still enjoy listening to Noory more. I feel like I know him, and he's a good egg. I think George's heart is in the right place,he loves his topics and respects everyone. I do feel like I'm watching an elderly relative slowly decline from Alzheimer's though. Perhaps this is true. From 5 years ago to now, he has really gone downhill in the brain department. He seems out of it A LOT.

Noory has made a once great show into a caricature of itself.

With all of Noory's short comings his most atrocious is when he belittles callers or sets them up as the butt of his humor. I get so infuriated when he does that. I don't listen as much as I use to for various reasons and it seems like he has curtailed that quite a bit. I'm glad that.

Sometimes I look at what Ian is going to talk about and think "ho hum" but he has a way of turning most interviews into something interesting...except for the new year day's list of quest. So sad. Noory can take an interesting topic and turn it into ho hum. His arrogance is quite obvious to me even though he claims humility...

Noory is a very nice man, but I don't think he does very good interviewing. He doesn't ask any intelligent questions. Don't get me wrong, I don't think I'd be any better, it's a hard thing to do night after night for 3 hours, that's why it needs a extraordinary mind to keep up with guests. The best thing about Noory is since he has nothing intelligent to add he shuts up and lets the guests talk.

It was so nice when George was on vacation. Now he is back and as bad as ever, asking the same old tired questions of every guest-regardless of topic, sounding distracted during the interview and asking the guest a question they just answered minutes earlier, etc.

I used to listen to Art religiously every night. Now I can barley stomach 1 or 2 shows a week, and only when an interesting guest or topic is on. Of course, after the first few minutes, it all begins to go downhill. Why is this man still on the air? 

The recent New Years show hosted by Ian was a Joke. The only interesting guest was Gerald Celente. What happened to quality guests like Dr. Turi, Shawn David Morton, Ed Dames, The Merlin Project guys, Glenys MCants the numbers Lady, Evalyn Paglini. What a Joke for a predictions show. I know High-school kids that can put together a better list of guests for the first show of the year Jan 1, 2009. And to top it off they canned their most accurate predictions guest Dr. Turi. This show has become a major disappointment.

The effort to get rid of him has started with organizing mass emails as well as contacting sponsors and discontinuing support of their products. He is a ridiculous disgrace and getting worse. He is embarrassing himself and in a way it is sad. No one wishes him ill-just gone. When the producers realize that buying him out is cheaper than the destruction of ratings, they will act. That is all that will work-he does not have the sense-or the grace- to just quietly go. He can be fine as a pitchman in commercials-he has all that carnival-barker quality and can make a living that way. The girl scout gushing, the made-up drama (his lost leather jacket, on and on-he exuded BS.) But the broadcast statesmanship and program talent of Art and Ian is irreplaceable for this show. The airwaves, after all, are ours. This guy is infuriatinly stupid. The callers are also being coached to rave about him with no criticism-a desperate man.

The show under Noory and Punnett is just a mere shell of what once was a great show and venue. Ratings are lower than when Noory was handed the show, affiliates are lower, same guest over and over and not even good guest at that. Calls screened so no dissent could get through or tough questions for a guest, fastblast screened, does not interview guest well, often not prepared does not read their books, same stock questions over and over every night. Punnett is just as bad reads the same script now, adolescent attempts at humor and forced almost in every sentence, no real respect for a guest or caller, very intolerant of others, cannot take any scrutiny, tries to act bright but fails.

- 5 is what this poor excuse for a talk how host really rates.

There needs to be an option of -5 stars regarding George Noory. His interview skills suck. It IS an infomercial...

He's full of redundant quips like "I love it" and "Do you think they could be guardian angels?" hahaha:  He's always comparing someone's UFO story to angels! WTF?!

He doesn't pay attention to the guests because he is always asking them something that has already been answered.

He blindly accepts and believes ANY and ALL guests. This is perhaps the worst thing about the show. Art Bell at least made it clear when he didn't 'buy' something from a guest and challenged them on it.

They need to fire Noory from Coast. I hope his TV show on Sci Fi goes so well that he leaves the radio!!!

What are the producers of Coast thinking? And Ian Punnet is really getting annoying too. He's too bright & cheery for the show. I'm tired of his segue "Where are you going to take us?"

Coast to Coast just sucks. I too wonder if the callers are told to tell George just how "wonderful" he is. If only he would go to a non-screening format so that some callers could honestly critique the show and actually challenge the guests too... Not to mention the fact that some really crazy people would get through again! That makes it so much more entertaining.

Ever since Art left the shows have been awful. I stopped listening and turned to online radio on my laptop next to my bed.

I prefer Space Ghost Coast to Coast myself.

Noory ruined Ghost to Ghost for me this year. This was a show I formerly enjoyed, but no more under the stewardship of one George Noory. How the man got his job and has kept it all this time is beyond me. He is riding Art Bell's coat tails. The new television show Unexplained with Noory is just as bad. Very superficial and uninformative. Leave it to George Noory to make the paranormal boring.

Where does one send criticisms of this man? The producers? Are there any other shows like C2C with a better host/interviewer? I 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.

Simply awful. I hope they get a new Monday through Friday host soon. George Noory is pretty bad. I would love for that deep voiced Welles to do the show. He guest hosted twice that I know of, and was great.

  Noory is beyond bad. I actually stopped listening to him and now only tune in on the weekends to hear Ian and George Knapp, who are good hosts. I miss Rollye James, who was also an intelligent and thoughtful host. It's sad when the weekend and guests host are head and shoulders over the regular "host".

George Noory has really brought down the tone of the show. He needs to be replaced. NOW.

jolou, I understand that your job must be to shill for Coast to Coast, but please keep your political nonsense off of this site. This site is to rate George Noory's abysmal performance as he hacks his way through each night of what was once a very good and intelligent show. Mush mouth George can barely speak English most nights and sounds like he is a recovering stroke patient. That, coupled with his stupidity, make an intolerable combination which is why George has lost so many listeners. Sure, new affiliates are always being added, but that's because radio shows are sold in packages, and in order to get someone like Rush, you also have to take the chaff, like George. George has NO interviewing abilities, comes across as smary and egotistical and asks the same exact questions of the guests each night. It's like he is reading from 3 x 5 cards. He asks guests questions they just answered a few minutes before in something they said and sometimes he cuts off the guests mid sentence to say somethibng stupid or to go to a call, completely out of the blue. He sounds unprofessional and disjointed. His show has been compared to an informercial on many sites on the web. Try GOOGLEing George's name some time and see what comes up. It ain't pretty. As far as the political stuff goes, you can kiss President Barack's ass. Get over it and change professions to shilling at right wing nut hack sites if that's your true calling.

Another meat puppet clown with a microphone. 

goldengrain -- perhaps, I can help you find a way out of your confusion? I certainly hope so! I enjoy being helpful! (actually, it's also my job! ;);) ) Ok...first of all, the Sunday night C2C was not a pre-election show, per se. Oh, sure -- Sunday night was before the election. However, George certainly didn't schedule the show as a special. He'll be doing that show on Tuesday night, once the election is over. I do hope that clears things up for you, a little. Also, George actually performed a service to his country by having Phil Berg on, again. Because, Berg isn't suing over some minor issue, my friend. In fact, his fervor emanates from within the very core of our great country's most sacred foundation -- The Constitution of these United States! So, it's likely that you missed that important point, having tuned-in late. :? Also, I wouldn't want you to remain confused about a couple of other items you've mentioned -- 1) the official position of C2C involves an open invitation to any representatives of the opposition, in order to refute the guest's claims. So, had the Obama Campaign wanted to comment on Phil Berg's statements, they needed only to call-in, and make their wishes known. Obviously, no one from the Obama team did so. But, I'd imagine they're pretty busy, too. Of course, Berg originally filed back in August, so....Obama has had a few months to produce his authentic birth certificate, and put the whole question to rest. And, I'm not usually a suspicious person. But, doesn't that seem a little odd to you, too? 2) Quoting "factcheck" or "snopes" is much like quoting "wikipedia." Those who've studied these sites, as have I, (again, it's my job! :) ) know better than to consider the bulk of their material as fact-based. For instance, the full name of the former is "The Annenberg Political Fact Check." And, anyone who's paying attention would also know that "factcheck" was orginally funded through the efforts of a particular Senator from Illinois, back in 2005. You've never heard of the Chicago Annenberg Project? Well, it shouldn't surprise you that big bucks are often used to buy big favors! So, why would "factcheck" bite the very hand that's been feeding it $$, all along??? Then too, it's certainly no secret that the Mikkelson's are having similar difficulties suppressing their own political biases, at their beloved "snopes." Too bad they've not formatted their site to accept public comment on the articles they post there. I suppose it's because they're not too keen on honest criticism....or perhaps -- just honesty, in general. At any rate, it's becoming more and more apparent, within the internet community, that neither "factcheck," nor "snopes" are disseminating anything other than biased opinions. So, to use them as a resource -- especially, for something as important as legally qualifying a prospective U.S. President... is certainly a serious mistake! Again, I hope this was helpful to you!

One thing about Noory is: it makes one truly appreciate George Knapp and Rollye James. Both true professionals and excellent interviewers. Why in the world werent one of them selected for his job? (Ian Punnet trys too hard to be cute and cleaver with his forced puns sorta like the smartest kid in class who is constantly showing off - grow up Ian.)

George sucks, sucks and sucks. Terrible interviewing skills. George get some pointers from George Knapp. He is not as a Court Jester as you are during the shows. George maybe you should give a try to comedy. Your picture belongs in this website George; http://www.stlouiscomedy.com Noory you perfect for this place and you can always be near your lovely St. Louis . You know nobody cares for your working light crap here in L.A. My God you doing Ghost to Ghost 2008...........It's is truly scary!!...Bring your clowns George. Who's your headliner that night?? UFO Phil ? , Richard C. Hoagland? Ed Dames? By the way George what did you do with Ian Punnett??  You turned him into another clown..... I thinks he wants to be you! .....Are you his Hero?

Jeez, all this time I thought I was alone. I used to love the Art Bell show, listened every night. When Noory took over, it went to hell. I gave it about 6 months then stopped listening. I'd hear people call in with this B.S. line of, "oh George, your'e the best host I've ever heard...I just love the show...keep it up"--what kind of crap is this? Are they told to say that? I wanted literally to vomit at times. I have NEVER in my life listened to a worse talk show host. This guy is a total moron. When he rarely has an intelligent guest on, he derails them with dull, moronic questions. Art knew how to keep a topic interesting all through. Noory can kill a topic in 10 minutes, and I can't take it. Will someone please just feed this inane slug to the fish?

THE ART BELL SHOW HAS COLLAPSED INTO WHAT IS CLOSE TO DEMENTIA WITH THE STEWARDSHIP OF NOORY.

How can we get Ian to go full time on Coast to Coast? I can't stand Noory, the only reason I renewed my streamlink membership is to listen to Ian. I do not intend to renew my membership again. Noory needs to go!

I have been a fan of Art Bell and George Noory for as long as I can remember. Just about the time I find a clear station for them, the station changes. Please let me know where to set my dial. I find their program most enlightening and it is a great way for me to be entertained during the night. They are great!!

I am listening to your Shaw and am really worried about my kids future.
Being a Polish person who lived the darkness of unreal nonsense of the communist era, I guess recent developements arround Georgia and Polish involvment god me thinkig a real deal about a bigger picture of all.
Polish people always in histry fought for freedom of others less thinking for theyr own, and more in addition sacrafice all over the world for freedom snd democracy. In an old poem we call ourselfs "Polska Chrystusem Narodow" which I traslate -"Poland the Christ for the Nations" I am very happy to be in Canada now and will pray for world peace. Just having that polish survivalist cautious mind tels me
some big times are coming and this times are dark. Hope "good" wins all.

Been a fan of C2Cam since 1995. Used to race to the radio at midnight for the show. Now, uh, not so much. !!Producers: Get rid of the silly BigFoot shows, Friday night's brain dead OPEN LINES (OMG), the BORING Physicists(FAR too many of late). Bring back more real current events shows, with Alex Jones, Steven Quayle(minus his 'giants' please), the numbers lady, more real life guests for the listeners please!!! Thank you.

Sometimes its interesting, but the show is on so LONG, like 5 hours.  It tends to get boring fast sometimes.

I agree with you completely, Jac. It's painful. He's there 5-6 days per week and 7 days, if you count the commercials...because he sells stuff. This is not conducive to the long-term potential of the show...for more than one reason. One is the over-the-top scheduling of one man, 5 days each week. Granted, Noory is the most poorly-read host on radio, and 5 days each week is way too much for this dolt to keep up with his guests. (I guess he accumulated so many books from his guests, that he has been doing a little Q&A to call-ins, who he sends the books to if they can answer a movie trivia question correctly. He said...and I paraphrase..."It's either this, or I throw them in the garbage.")

I talk to Ian once in a while and that is the very reason he would never take the week night slot...it's too much. Everyone has a little hate in them and I reserve some of mine for Noory. When I offered him some constructive criticism, he called me a "loser" and threatened to report me to "the authorities" if I ever wrote back. He blocked me. I rarely listen anymore on the weekdays. Ian and the other George (Knapp) are two of the best interviewers on or off the radio, but neither of them would considerr taking "Shut-up George's" slot...
