Coast to Coast AM with George Noory

[CronkitesGhost]

no pride at all. he's possibly the luckiest man alive, in any other job or profession he'd be out of work. fortunately for him, overnight radio has no standards or ratings, Premiere doesn't care what he does as long as he shows up and doesn't ask for much money.

it's a god damn PARANORMAL show and neither he nor his producer could be assed to find a guest or two for Halloween - they've had ghost hunter guests, haunted places guests, anything creepy or scary would suffice for a Halloween show but nope, he's got the scammer peddling worthless nutritional snakeoil and then a couple of hours of tedious 'ghost to ghost' calls. A professional producer and host would have been screening people for weeks before to get on with their scary stories.

he's a total disgrace.

If there is a hell, Norry should be forced to listen to Critical News Health segments for all eternity.

Norry show repeats are already on constant loop in Hell.  The administrators of the netherworld keep that on the lowdown otherwise people would start going to church more regularly.

I'm beginning to see a potential Christmas extravaganza, an old time radio play, A Coast to Coast Christmas Carol. Of course playing the lead role of Ebeneezer Scrooge is George Noory. I do imagine Noory's St. Louis home being furnished like Scrooge's, very old fashioned. It's Christmas Eve, Noory is all alone, he turned down an invitation to spend the evening with his kids and grandkids. Noory puts on his dressing gown and stocking cap, gets into his 4 poster bed and draws the heavy black curtains around him. Dead silence other than the tick tock of a grandfather clock. Moaning sounds, something being dragged along the floor, heavy chains rattling - Noory/Scrooge is startled, then sheer fright as a ghostly figure wrapped in bandages dragging chains approaches him, it's Art Bell as Jacob Marley. Art moans, he's speaking to Noory. Noory tells himself the specter of Art is just his imagination and blames his hallucination on 'It's just a bad bit of my turkee sammich that's what it is.' But Art continues to speak mournfully 'It's me George, Art Bell, the man who gave you your career, I gave you a special gift and look what you've done with it. Your greed, inattention, lack of professionalism, your ingratitude.'  Noory tries to wave the ghost away but it remains, he is now trembling with fear.

Tommy is Tom Cratchit, Noory's oafish loyal employee. But Tommy is gay and has no wife or children. But he is somewhat a guardian of a sickly 'Tiny Tim' character, Corny Tim -  a 62 year old Negro man whose health is failing.

gotta work on the rest, need to cast the Ghosts of Christmas Past, Christmas Present and Christmas Yet To Come.

This will be a blockbuster of course, with the re-make featuring Heater as Marley and a diapered Tommee as Tiny Tim.

In re-runs it will run with Old Yellow as a double feature.

Noory snuck out a half hour early again last night, going to a replay of part of an old interview.
He has been doing this more often - two times this week already.

He must be slowing down, needs more chaga!

did something weird happen tonight or I was out of it? I was in bed half listening to a typical Coast guest peddling woo about colors and auras and then suddenly it sounded like another guest talking about angels. Or maybe it's just all the guests sound the same and it's hard to tell one from another.

I think I also heard a commercial for 'George's Weight Magic' a diet pill, i hate hate hate these fraudsters taking advantage of people, the nutritional quackery is all over the internet, radio, grocery stores, etc. as long as you don't say it cures a disease you can pretty much get away with anything.

The only thing Noory has less of than talent or brains is scruples.

Curtis Sliwa paid tribute to Art Bell as maybe the greatest talk radio host of them all just now, Sliwa is right, it's all about 'theater of the mind' and Art did create a world that mostly existed in his own mind and that of his audience. He said 'He had a penchant for young Filipino women and I think it killed him prematurely.'  He also told about sending some of his Guardian Angel members from Vegas or Reno to spy on Art's double wide trailer, said Art mentioned it on air 'Why are Curtis Sliwa's guardian angels outside my studio spying on me?'

Noory is incapable of doing theater of the mind, he doesn't even understand the concept - Noory himself is the theater of the mindless, a one man show starring himself.

Did not see anyone mention the caller last week (Wed?) who told George he personally knew JC and that he had recently died. George said they had JC's number and would try to get ahold of him.  Didn't hear any follow-up the next couple nights.

That was a lady 2:25 into that show, if I recall.

The G2G show,.I think.  To be honest, I forgot about that. She was in Wyoming or Idaho... I think.

can't comment on the show, the guests are so bad most nights i don't even bother, there's nothing 'paranormal' or 'conspiracy' or anything at all interesting about his merry-go-round of new age self help charlatans, the lowest of the low. how often did Art have this type of guest on?

Art never had channelers on - that was one of his rules.
Noory has a guest about "the spirit world" as he calls it on nowadays a couple times a week it seems.
Noory must have had a guest cancel at the last minute tonight- so he just got one of his fill ins instead like Joshua Warren.
