George Noory Sucks! - The Definitive Compendium

[Mind Flayer Monk]

Hi. Long, longtime lurker and first-time poster since I finally got my activation email. I'm posting because I'm disappointed in you guys.

The other night, the Atlantis guy was talking about how he thinks the lost continent is in the south Pacific, and Snorge asked "Shouldn't it be in the Atlantic Ocean if it's called 'Atlantis'?"

No, no. I was impressed by the critical thinking.

[ufogadfly]

I can't decide if Noory is stupid or agrees with everyone on purpose. A few shows ago one guest was talking about that woman who faked the big foot DNA  and just stole an old book then renamed it. Jorch wanted to know more & listened as the guest trashed her.... he didn't even seem to realize she had been a recent  guest on a few occasions.

Not the first time he's done that kind of thing.  Nor will it be the last.
BTW, no one has been shown to have faked bigfoot DNA in that case. Yes, the controversy is over how the study was published. GN still sucks.

The problem with Snoorge is that he couldn't tell the difference between a BIG *** FOOT ***, a big hairy dog, and an authentic bigfoot.

In the back of my mind I still wait for Snoory to drop a question with actual thought out of nowhere


"The rise in technology and science should make getting proof easier as it has already made it 100x easier to share with others, but the ratio of semi-acceptable proof and those actively looking seems to have greatly decreased, why do you think that is?"

I am borrowing the Bigfoot DNA topic here. Even though it was a different host.
"The fields C2C covers are saturated with phony evidence and hoaxes. But with technology it has become easier to spot them and more difficult to produce quality hoaxes. Would it be fair to mull the idea that your Bigfoot DNA report could be the next level of hoaxes? Just another step in the race against debunkers?"


But no, like stated earlier, the pinnacle of Noory's hosting abilities is "Shouldn't it (Atlantis) be in the Atlantic Ocean since it is called "Atlantis?""

Snoory comes up with stuff like the above because he lives in his own little multiverse which usually has no connection to the real world or anything that any guest might be talking about at the time.


If its too heavy a subject for Snoorge he comes up with stuff like this so as to totally derail the interview.


I think it may come from an incredibly deep seated insecurity that he has that requires him to ensure that everyone pay attention to him, no matter how stupid he sounds.

[GeorgieForPresident2216]

"If its too heavy a subject for Snoorge he comes up with stuff like this so as to totally derail the interview."

I think part of it is that George has either been instructed or decided on his own accord that he has to keep it simple to cater to the widest possible audience.  A lot of it does genuinely appear to go over his head, but a lot of it seems to be him saying.. if this gets too deep people will tune out.  Other hosts go deeper which makes it more interesting for those of us who care, but George keeps it simple for the mass audience who just wants to tune in and have something they can follow in the background while doing other activities.  He's a middle manager, not a journalist.  He gives Premier what they want by making a predictable unchallenging show for common consumption.  It's not very enjoyable for us who do want to listen, be challenged, and have our intellects and imaginations captured but you know.. he probably does get way higher ratings then Art Bell ever could.

I think PremRat lets him do the show however he wants.  It seems clear the overnight show is a very low priority for them.  They're probably happy to have someone this lacking in talent so they don't have to worry about him leaving for something better.  And even enjoy a few perverse jollies watching him struggle.

... he probably does get way higher ratings then Art Bell ever could.

I think that's been shown not to be the case - Art easily wins both in  total number of listeners, and average amount of time each listener stays with the show.

Leaving for something better ?


You mean to say there's something worse than the show he's doing now ?


What would he do read the farm report in Omaha ?

Not to mention how pissed Georgie gets whenever anybody mentions Art. It's almost like Beetlejuice, and I'm really curious what would happen if somebody managed to say "Art Bell!" three times on the air.

[PB the Deplorable]

Leaving for something better ?...

I believe George truly thought coming to LA he was going to use Coast as a stepping stone to either a successful TV talk show or maybe a Hollywood career.  After all, Art Bell made cameo appearances and turned down a few roles, so how could another C2C host actively seeking out those parts miss. 

By something better, I think a talented host that was just doing Coast because that's what he or she was offered at the time would eventually leave for a daytime or TV gig.  Nighttime radio was a wasteland before, and now after, Art Bell.

But no one wants George Noory for anything, except to use him to get free expoaure or advertising on his show.

With Jorch being with C2C for over 10 years now, it seems pretty evident PremRat just sees C2C as nighttime filler or some kind of infomercial.  I think they're happy to have a blithering idiot rather than a potentially creative "troublemaker" to deal with.  Jorch obviously didn't get his position because of any radio talent but I'm sure he's a good corporate flunky.

What's funny is he, and apparently his mother, think he's some sort of national icon

Jorchie is a "good, little boy."     You could always sense Art chafing with PremRat but not good 'ol boring Jorch.  I remember when he had his 10th anniversary slobber fest and he had one of the PremRat corporate rats on to start things out.  Jorch was in his element, falling all over himself, showing his blind allegiance to the "Dark Side."  :

[stevesh]

I believe George truly thought coming to LA he was going to use Coast as a stepping stone to either a successful TV talk show or maybe a Hollywood career.

I think so too, and it could have worked out that way if Noory had shown a trace of competence and, especially, work ethic. I suspect most people, including Noory, don't realize how hard people in the entertainment business have to work to be successful. Noory's obvious failure/unwillingness to do any kind of show prep would have, in itself, torpedoed any possible further career in Hollywood.

[ItsOver]

Witness Jorch's shameless celebrity name-dropping and jumping at the chance to get any semi-celebrity to make an appearance on C2C.  Also, his appearances on "Ancient Aliens."  He must be really chafing he hasn't gotten on "Ancient Aliens" recently or moved on to his own real TV show.  He's so desperate for fame, he's even doing the beyond belief "Beyond Belief" make-believe TV show. 


If Jorch had any talent, he probably could have gotten some kind of Sci-Fi-type show somewhere by now with his nightly exposure, but since that's not the case, he's stuck in C2C limbo.  Unfortunately.

i don't think there's any way it could ever have happened.  he has no charisma, he's not pleasing to look at, and when watching him, you get the impression he's utterly and completely uncomfortable in his own skin.  from his odd hand gestures to his strained, unrelaxed sitting style, the guy makes you a nervous wreck just watching him...  never mind his inability to have conversations with others.

[ufogadfly]

Maybe it's because of my own background in broadcasting and sensitivity to the spoken word, but I notice that in many, if not most, of GN's guest introductions, his sentences and phrases end with an upward inflection, like they're just a list of throw-aways. Like he doesn't care and just wants to get through it all. Could this be an unconscious indication of how he feels deep down? Or is it simply another example of his ineptitude?

[ItsOver]

I just think he "doesn't get it" as far as being a good radio show host.  As has been mentioned before, it's almost as if he has some kind of social disorder.  It's hard to believe he has the job he has since his social skills are so mediocre.  He always seems to be putting on some kind of phony act.  As inept and untalented as he is, he'd still probably be better off trying to be himself rather than putting on some kind of fake show.  That's probably why he's OK with PremRat, though, since his usual traits of being somewhat of a phony make him a good "yes man."  He get's that.

As MV pointed out, he has no charisma and maybe, at least subconsciously, he recognizes his shortcomings for the field he's in, which makes him in even worse.  I think he wants to be in the position he's in because he craves social acceptance due to his inability to naturally attract it.  If he had any skill in math and didn't crave the social acceptance, he'd probably make a good accountant but he obviously sucks at math and science from listening to his idiocy on C2C.


In summary, Jorch just sucks.

Perhaps.  I don't know how to verify that but in that case I stand corrected.

I think its pretty clear George doesn't really believe what most of his guests are discussing or just isn't that interested.  You can tell when he does believe in the subject matter such as conversations about the afterlife.  The big tell for me is that if I were the host of a radio show, and I had a personal investment in selecting the guests and believed in their authenticity... and believed what they were telling me could someday save my life  (what with global financial meltdowns, one world governments, remote viewing of North Korean nuclear attacks, earthquake prediction, etc...)... you could be damned sure I would be listening to the weekend shows so I wouldn't miss something important.  George doesn't even seem to know what guests or topics were covered during the weekend.  All he's interested in most of the time is how he comes off reading the next question or making sure the show follows the correct format...

George (hypothetical conversation): "Doctor, who do you believe God really is?"
hypothetical guest:  "In fact George, we've just found conclusive evidence that proves beyond a shadow of a doubt the universe is a computer game and God is a 13 year old boy named Dwain.  Let me explain...
George (oblivioius):  "Well that's exactly right.  First time caller you're on the air..."

[ziznak]

ahhhh.... i've missed sooo much.

775 pages and still the same diagnosis, Doctor.  Noory sucks.

I know that in the old days djs sent out tapes to stations of their work when they were trying to get a new gig.


I still wonder if anyone at Premiere ever heard Snoorge do anything on the paranormal before he was " chosen " to host Coast or was it the case of he was someone's ahole buddy and they put in a good word for him.


I would think that if they would have listened to a couple of days worth of his previous work, they never would have picked him but who knows.


It may be that they don't care, Art was a problem in some ways and they were looking for someone to take over the show fast.


It's just like now NBC supposedly wants to replace Leno because he appeals to middle America and is seen as being too conservative and Jimmy Fallon isn't despite Leno's getting huge ratings in his slot.


Leno is willing to skewer pols on both sides whereas Fallon has a love fest with Obama. One thing that tempers Leno is that his wife is a raging liberal and I've read stuff that they get into fights when he goes after liberals in his monologues.


Since someone brought it up, what kind of ratings did Art get when he was on the air as opposed to Snoorge ?


Anyone have a link to the information, please post it.

According to the entry on Art on wikipedia at one time he had over 500 stations and was the highest rated radio show on late night radio. I know at one time Larry King had around 400 stations and had huge ratings too.

I doubt Snoory has 500 stations or higher ratings than Art. If he did Cumulus and others wouldn't have dropped him.

Here's a link to the story with some interesting commentary on how people feel about the show, Snoory and Art.

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-chat/2850666/posts

We're not the only ones unhappy with what Coast has become.

Look at what people say in this link from radio ratingz :

http://www.radioratingz.com/ratings/779/Radio+Show+Coast+To+Coast+W/+George+Noory.html

They hate Snoorge too.

Rating 2.1 out of 5.

Snoory's bio on his speakers bureau CLAIMS he has 559 stations. I find that hard to believe. I can't seem to find anything on what his actual ratings really are.

Here's a link that shows some stations which stream Coast.

http://streamingradioguide.com/radio-show.php?showid=3963

I also found this which says that Snoorge's book has " easily understood, step by step instructions and examples from his own life, George Noory shows how he has surpassed his own limitations and frustrations ... "

Come on, are we to believe that a guy who can't even say words properly REALLY wrote a book on his own ?

Can you say ghostwriter ?

Or should that be Coastwriter ?

And as always and beyond buh-leaf ...

George Noory Sucks.

“I like L.A. It’s a great place to develop your career and to do this type of showâ€"and for it to get the recognition it needs, you need to be in L.A.,”  -George Noory [/size]

Yes, you need to be in LA, because it's not like someone has ever done a successful, nationally syndicated radio show before outside of LA or from their home in the middle of nowhere.  George gets it.[/size]

[ItsOver]

So typical of Noory.  He probably loves L.A. as much as Art despised the Hollywood game.  If I didn't know any better, I'd think we're all paying some kind of karmic price for having had the pleasure of Art as a radio host.  We were rewarded with the best for years and now we must pay with the worst.

.....

I can see some PremRat clowns at the time, looking at resumes and seeing Jorch's.  He probably played-up his "Nighthawk" show in St. Louis and the clowns just thought "duh.... paranormal show in St. Louie...... paranormal show across the country, yep, that's the ticket.  Just what we're looking for.  Plus, they say he does what he's told, unlike "the other guy."  Let's throw him a low-ball offer and see if he bites."  Got to play it safe in the corporate world.  :


The rest is history, unfortunately.

[GeorgieForPresident2216]

Keep in mind, coast to coast's target audience are people who will fall for something like this:

Voice Actor:  "I just started taking Carnivora, and I FULLY EXPECT to experience a complete restoration of MY healthy immune function."
George:  "There you have it, PROOF that the cellular immune response can be dramatically altered by using Carnivora."

or some such unsubstantiated claim.  Have to keep the show simple.  George has to have some method to his ways.  I don't believe he can truly be as inept as we paint him, though I do believe he is a poor interviewer, has a poor knowledge base, lazy research skills, does not believe much of the subject matter, is not very tuned into what the guests and callers are saying much of the time, etc, etc.

btw thank you for fixing my name.

Take a look at this link and see what they say about Canrnivora. It's not nice at all.


http://healthwyze.org/index.php/component/content/article/468-a-secret-weapon-for-treating-maybe-curing-hepatitis-with-natural-and-holistic-methods.html

Scroll down and look under frauds.

Anyone see any irony that the words carnivora and carnival have a similar root ?

When I listened to C2C last night I heard Snoory doing his as for Carnivora and realized you can't get away from the dumb sob even on his night off.

Sheesh.

And what PROOF do they have that Reagan ever took this stuff and that it helped with his colon cancer ?

http://gold-silver.us/forum/archive/index.php/t-26070.html?s=02e6e165e660e740f2767891c61c3731

There's a link where they discuss alternative methods of fighting cancer.

Now if I could find one to dry up my sinuses and bronchitis for good.

Bleah.

* sigh *

[Falkie2013]

No, no. I was impressed by the critical thinking.

Maybe Snoory thinks Atlantis is in the Atlantic because of all those Atlantis resort ads that they keep running over and over late at night.

Though I think its in the Caribbean or Dubai, I'm not sure.

When I watch in the middle of the night, the first thing I think of is Atlantis.

Yep, you bet.

Not !
