George Noory Sucks! - The Definitive Compendium

[ItsOver]

....How can anyone be this awful and have a national show?

The greatest mystery of all.  More so than any of the supposed paranormal topics of C2C.  George Knapp should devote one of his shows to investigating the mystery of Noory.  I wonder if PremRat would even notice.   

[Morgus]

Just another night of Noory.  Glad I missed it all.  Too bad he's on this Sunday with the "who stepped on the cat" singers.

yep Noory hosts his first Sunday of the month for April this weekend.
kinda a delayed April's Fool on the listeners...

Unfortunately true, Morgus.  A big April Fool for this Sunday.  I look forward to Sunday nights when Knapp is the host.  It's always a disappointment when I realize it's the first Sunday of the month and it's a big write-off with the nightmare of Noory.

I thought I was hallucinating when he said this!  How can anyone be this awful and have a national show?

That pretty much sums it up.

[Mels-hole1984]

This describes last nights guest. "and um ah"...uh and um uh"..."and um ah"..."and um ah"..."uh, and um uh"...

[Morgus]

It always bugs me when Noory runs out of questions during an interview and starts asking the guest his obvious canned standard questions like "what was the most fascinating thing..." or "what fascinates you the most..."
Those stupid generic questions sound like what somebody would learn from a correspondence course on interviewing, some of the sample questions...

God, yes. And sometimes it happens only half-way into an interview. AARRRGHHHHHH!

...  How can anyone be this awful and have a national show?

How can any employee anywhere be this uninterested, this unprepared - and all the while putting their energy into getting other gigs - how does that person NOT get a serious meeting with their boss? 

If it really is just about going to break at the right time, why bother learning the trade and putting in effort?

We get a slight reprieve on weekends, but that nimrod still has to ruin the first Sunday of the month. Does he need the frickin` dough that badly? Does he really have to f*** up that first Sunday?


It Just pisses me off!

Ian bailed.  Art bailed.  Knapp won't help him.  He has to be nervous about getting someone good in by mistake and ending up losing the show to them.

Besides, he really doesn't have anything to do or anywhere to go once he does whatever needs doing for his other gigs.

I see on the C2C website that sNoory will appear at these various shows around the country about  one weekend a month.  He's doing this more frequently than he did a few years back.  Can anyone venture a guess as to how much he gets for these "meet and greets"?  I'm curious.

That's a good question.  When I was under contract to Cheap Channel, such appearances were forbidden unless required by Cheap Channel.  Of course, there was no additional pay.  That might be sNoory's situation, or he may have negotiated a deal in which Cheap Channel allows appearances and allows sNoory to accept a fee.

The thing that most annoyed me about last night's uh-ah-um guest was that sNoory actually sounded enthusiastic, for him, and he was still awful.

[McPhallus]

likely a damage control/PR move by Premier.  The longer Noory remains host, the more his ineptitude is discussed, chronicled, ridiculed, and circulated throughout the internet.  and that junkpile gets larger each year.  The "tour" is probably a chance for him to connect with fans in the hope that he'll become more likable somehow.  I bet these events are highly choreographed and that he's as awkward at them as he is on the show.

[someguy]

You could be right. I could imagine Noory being a transhuman.

You have to be human first, and I'm not at all convinced that Noory qualifies.

don't know what his 'cut' is, but most of the events charge a pretty stiff fee to attend the conference, and another extra fee for Noory's 'meet & greet'
Noory probably charges a nominal fee for signed autographed photos at the events too, celebs usually charge $20 for that...

Roy...I like your avatar.  I thought it was a claymation of Mr. Noory confounded in coming up with the next question during one of his stellar interviews or mangling his vocabulary words while attempting to read the "news segment".   Your commentary is very funny. 

[McPhallus]

Maybe the TOS should be amended to prevent avatar harassment.

seems like George's mush mouth has been acting up lately... think there's a correlation between his mush and the N Korean escalation?

Yeah, George and Dennis Rodman are best buds.

It looks like tonight's show is destined to be a real classic.   :

[ItsOver]

I'm very sorry I'm going to miss another Noory "classic." 

[Scully]

I loved seeing this line in your rather back-handed apology.  Classic.

And I love how catty you are, McWeeWee, so much so that you've finally earned yourself a place on my growing Ignore list. Carry on, Girlfriend, I'm sure you have lots of insults to your pride to try to compensate for.

[RedMichael]

Why does George think he gets to define a show as being classic or not? And why does he pronounce a show as classic 10 minutes into the said show?




Classic

Adjective

Judged over a period of time to be of the highest quality and outstanding of its kind.[/t][/t][/color][/font]

Noun

A work of art of recognized and established value.[/t][/t]

So by definition, there should only be a handful of classic shows a year at BEST. If most shows are "Classic" then they aren't really classic because classic would really mean average...in this case that would mean "shitty".


Also, "Classic" should probably only be judged by the consumers of whatever product. In this case the listeners judging the show. The last person who should be judging a show is the show's own host. I could live with a host just throwing that out there now and then, but not nearly this often, and not within 10 minutes of a show starting.


So we have: Lost the meaning of classic, have the worst person judging a show (the actual host), a show being judged as classic usually within minutes of starting, and a "classic" show on a frequent basis.


In Noory's defense, other's would not be judged so harsh. However, the shortcomings of Noory MIXED with delusions of grandeur regarding himself and his show, make any faults magnified several times.

[PB the Deplorable]

George knows he has no classic shows, and likely won't.  At least not in a positive way - some of his most Noorific stuff is considered classic by some.  So he's decided anything covering the old topics is now a 'classic'. 

Either that, or 'classic' is another common word he doesn't understand the meaning of.

[ItsOver]

A Noory "classic."

[Roy Hinkley]

Not everyone thinks you are boring. I don't find you boring. But even if I disliked everything you posted... so what? You aren't to my knowledge mean spirited or antagonistic to others.


If I waited to post until everyone liked what I said... well everyone thinks I am a spot of sunshine so we can't compare... Falkie, speak your mind man... I for one look forward to your posts.

Nice post Onan.

[Roy Hinkley]

Roy, you're not doing a dang thing wrong, and I'm glad Titanic went back and reread your posts.


I enjoy what you write, and I hope to get over the shock of your humongous-faced avatar very soon.   

Thanks Scully, I appreciate your kind words. 

[Roy Hinkley]

The show has become like a shitty pop song where a team of people and the producer sit around and try to make the most generic song with the most appeal.

LOL, you're right!  George is the Johnny Bravo of late night radio!  Let's just get a guy that the suit fits and prop him up in the radio station!  Or like the Monkees (sorry Monkees) that they can't even play music and put them out as the new act to copy all the other generic acts.

Thank you Coop, appreciate the support!  I kind of like my avatar too.  The great thing is you can pretty much insert any number of captions under it regarding Noory and it will be funny.  I particularly like the raised eyebrow just like the Clueless One's too, and the sleezy porn stache.
