George Noory Sucks! - The Definitive Compendium

[karios8]

I'm tired and not caught up on the GNS reading yet. I'm already disappointed that its Dave's sunday and just need to know if the show is regular suck and I can fall asleep listening or extra suck and just go to bed with some music?

I'd give it a standard suck level with a slight bit of added suck - a suck plus, if you will - but not a full-blown critical level suck.

Does George have some kind of weird compulsion to say "good point" at times when it makes no sense to do so? He says it whether or not it fits the situation. Is it like a nervous tic? He's done it for years.

Good point!  He just doesn't listen.  My pet peeve is when he introduces a guest, and they say something and I swear to God 75% of the time his response does not fit the guest's opening statement.  Something like Dave introduces guest, guest has to say hi or hello because Dave usually doesn't, and then guest says, "It's really great to be back" or something and Dave will say "Yeah, me too."  WTH.  I can't think of anymore off the top of my head, but he almost always mumbles something that doesn't fit what the guest has just said in the ohnpening introduction.

Dude, tip of the iceberg. He's a non sequitur automaton instead of a talk show host:

Good point!
Of course
That's huge!
You too
Split show
Classic
What drives you?

Unbeeleeefable!
What made you get into this?
Do you like what you do?
St. Louis - know it well!
Detroit - know it well!
L.A. - Tommie knows it well!
You got that right!

its just like Noory isn't really there and some guys are just using a soundboard to play recordings of his standard responses..

[Morgus]

Tonight's show is finally over with, another of Noory's bible guests, like a Sunday school on the air.
Fortunately Art Bell won't have such guests on his show, starting in only 2 weeks now.

Exactly!
Incredible!
Oh my gosh!
Jeeeez!

You got that right Morgus.  I liked Titanic's comment earlier.  He said something regarding wishing he could lose time between now and then so it would be here already - LOL!

He's the Brian Wilson of talk show hosts; he famously attended a meeting of record executives and had a dozen tape players on the board room table, each with a canned response.

Or perhaps Jorch is like a Chatty Cathy doll.  You pull his string, and depending on how far out you pull it you get a different response.

Sure thing.

The story about the girl with the super-long tongue that miraculously shrunk to normal size kinda freaked me out.

I fell asleep before that. She sounds like someone I want to meet.

That's just Tommy running the Dave soundboard. His fat fingers don't always hit the right button at the right time so we hear a lot of things that don't make sense. That's what I'm telling myself, anyway.

Art Bell
"I would like to thank George Knapp for the wonderful Interview. Talk about a Pro, that is George Knapp."

As opposed to the OTHER lazy Sunday night host who phones it in and doesn't pay attention.   He is what he is.

Thank you Scully and It'sOver for posting this. I think Art is great to give George Knapp well-deserved credit. And it is a way of poking at ol' Dave at the same time. I really missed having Knapp on last night.

He's Talky Tina for thuh haterz.

My name is Talky Tina and you better be nice to me!

Well, that was creepy.

That was before Telly got the lollipop.  He never woulda got killed if he had the lollipop!

Someone should feed his voice through some kind of modulator to make it sound like some kind of malfunctioning robot - it would make his part of the conversations make more sense.  Then the goofy things he says, the repeated stock phrases, the mental hiccups etc. would be more understandable and we'd chalk it up to the early days of A.I. and that the robot hadn't been serviced for years and maybe someone left it out in the rain and some of it's circuits got shorted.

Last nights show was an absolute joke.  I even thought at one point Noory had on a prank guest.  Yes, maybe the prank guests are starting to appear for GN.  Don't want to knock other people's sources of strength but please keep your preachin at the corner church where it belongs.
What a joke.

George wants to improve, and after visiting here he got back sumpthin' he lost a long long time ago

Not a bad idea... and we could feed Wells through an electronic gizmo that would speed his up to 200% of his natural tempo.  The long pauses, um's, ah's and false starts would only take up half as much time out of his show.

I suppose they could just start his show two hours early using a two hour time delay.  His producer could then just use the "cough" button to remove these things and by the end of Coast it would be live and would have saved us all two hours of dead air and oh, those things... the... um, let me put it this way...

We've got lots of talent here. Can somebody do an autotune Noory youtube flubber mouth mix? Please?

You're welcome, Campsie.  I just happened to see Scully's update elsewhere and thought it deserved a post here.  It is a nice and well deserved acknowledgement of Knapp by Art.  As for "the challenged one, Dave," Art says a lot sometimes by what he doesn't say.

"Who love's ya baby?"

Telly would have made it out alive if Dave had really been Talking Tina.  "Talking Dave" would have bailed out of the TZ episode early and met Billy Mumy at the local IHOP.  Of course, Telly would have survived but gone crazy at the end from listening to UFO Phil close out the broadcast.

Hi all, is George still sucking?  (Just a rhetorical question)

[bmcintyre]

He's the Brian Wilson of talk show hosts; he famously attended a meeting of record executives and had a dozen tape players on the board room table, each with a canned response.

Are you talking about Brian Wilson from Fox, who had to move to DC to be on the radio?

arts new website is great. 

I have had a wonderful time kvetching about George but its time for me to move on.  It is over for George too.

When I was on the coast insider chat room last time I got a question in and this is it along with the answer.


Comment From CampsieNPCampsieNP:
Do you have a home-theater in your house and what is your favorite genre of movie? 

Tuesday August 13, 2013 8:17 CampsieNP
8:17  george noory: I have a 52 inch screen, couches, etc. I like Mad Men, the TV show.


So, Dave's favorite movie is a tv show. Dave Chance Gardner lives.
