George Noory Sucks! - The Definitive Compendium

[ManiacMatt]

Last night's "of course" tally was so off the charts that I had to subject myself to some research. Using the Youtube upload of yesterday's show, which conveniently excises the ads and music, I clocked the actual amount of speaking time Jorchie put in, plus (of course) how often he uttered his favorite filler phrase.

Minus the ads and bumper music, a 4-hour C2C averages about 2.5 hours. Jorchie's total vocal contribution to last night's show was 33 mins, a good portion being intros & outros, promos, guest re-introductions and facilitating callers. I'll bet when LMH is on, he registers barely 15 mins of airtime.

Oh, and he managed to squeeze in "of course" 27 times, almost one per minute. The man has problems. 

And he sucks.

This is amazing to me.  Thanks for your analysis!  I wish I could do actual work for my job for about 33 minutes a day and still make a nice living.  Not that Noory puts any real thought or work into what he does, but you get what I mean.

The Nooron was doing an advert for TryAncestry.com last night, and he repeated the name of the site several times and then said, "I'll even spell it for you."  He didn't get very far.  He said, "T-r-y...ancestry.com.  He managed to spell try and then realized he couldn't spell ancestry.  What a dummkopf.  :

yeah he has been doing that for awhile now.
i chuckle that Noory can only spell the word "try" like he figures his listeners can't spell that word...

When I do listen to C2Cam, George is getting worst. He is giving me more reasons to change the station or just go to bed. George/John B. Wells/Alex Jones share many of their guests. Its seems to me that George Noory is making C2C into the night time copy of Alex Jones's Infowars. Does anyone else see this?

Hahahaha... I may have to start listening to Noory again for moments like this.

makes sense since they are doing cross-promotions, Noory guests on Alex Jones' show and vice versa in recent months...

Noory should not "marry" C2C and infowars. It should be a crime. If Art was still at the helm, it would not have happen. This is one of many reasons I can't stand George's C2C anymore.

[ItsOver]

Speaking of cross-promotions, I heard a replay the other night of Ground Zero, with Clyde Lewis interviewing George Knapp.  It was one of the times when Clyde came across pretty good and Knapp was fascinating, talking about his early days and his first breaking stories on Area 51.  It was almost "Art Bell" like.  Sigh.

yeah that was a good one and was a few weeks back when Clyde did interviews on location at a UFO convention.
He also interviewed Linda Howe at that event.
Noory didn't even mention that UFO event or go there in contrast...

Maybe George Knapp can have Clyde on one of his shows.

Yet Noory goes to Toronto again for another abysmal crooning performance.  What an absolute joke.

Noory is just in it for the paycheck. He does not have the heart for C2C.

Scary - I'm the only other one I know who's broken down figures like this for C2C. Yes, it kind of sidles up a might close to the edge of oc behavior; but, by golly, someone has to do it. You are that someone. Bravo.

I would guess they did not pay him to host the convention and he sees no reason to mention an event that he does not profit from...

I seriously think there's something organic going on in his braincase. Could be just getting old like we all do; could be a little cranial plaque; could be a little more serious.

We should treat the Noory shows like a sporting event. We need advanced stats.


Angels per hour, fumbles per interview, off base percentage, hoaxes allowed, etc.

Not that I want to defend noory but his spelling of t r y ancestry may have been to clarify. Many a listener may have thought t r i ancestry. And more than likely that was requested in the ad.

Sounds like a baseball statisticians dream or maybe nightmare, if they actually have any sense.  On going tracking of errors, a lot of fouls.  I guess you could track each Noory show as a "no-hitter," with Noory always striking out at bat.  Unless his mother is pitching to him.

Does his mom really wants to claim him. He is an idiot who whores himself to the network.

[SR-71]

Absolutely.  He's just a PremRat prostitute.

If Noory is a "prostitute". Does that makes tommy his pimp??

[ItsOver]

Nah... Tommy's just Jorch's flunky.

Out of all of Clyde's shows I've listened to, those few days before and during the convention were really quite good. I thought they were very reminiscent of C2C of the mid-'90's. I wish more of his shows were like that. I was actually excited to listen to the radio for that week.

[HorrorRetro]

Nah... Tommy's just Jorch's flunky.

It's actually creepy.  It's like he's Noory's minder or caregiver. He must take George to the hospital because George can't take himself for some reason.  He has to accompany him to every publicity function.  He goes out and buys him a change of clothes on an overnight trip because George apparently didn't know to bring a fresh set.  There's something very wrong here.  You have a man in his early 60s who doesn't seem to be able to function without assistance.  It is beginning to look more and more like there's a neurological issue perhaps. I'd always assumed Noory was just incompetent and lazy, but that does not explain his need for constant assistance.

That was always my assumption.

George:  I'm convinced the moon is doing something to people's brains.

[GeorgieForPresident2216]

Ha that is funny.


He tries to raise his left brow in any pictures he can now to fit his new, liposuctioned/tanned/new toupee/plastic surgery beyond belief persona. I imagine he got it from watching his idol Rod Sterling.

lol thanks.  I felt like a nerd after I posted it especially since I seem to be having Nooriesque difficulties adding images lately.  I'm glad it made sense to someone.

Ha, thanks. I'll get a thought in my head and I have to explore. Hm, maybe I should get one of those Tommy's to do this research, like Jorchie has. But oh, the grocery bills!

[Morgus]

Tonight Noory is making his frequent claim that he thinks people are 'wacked out'
where did he learn that expression, when he was a little kid?

Noory must be blaming the moon for his own feeble brain activity?

George spends everyday kicking it with the kids so he can be hip to the latest groovy lingo.  Sometimes you just have to let your hair down and be a little racey if you want to stay relevant.
