George Noory Sucks! - The Definitive Compendium

Started by MV/Liberace!, April 06, 2008, 12:23:02 AM

Can Noory pronounce anything correctly?

No
No
All right!

Linda Molding And Howe is on tonight!

We'll hear long and fascinatingly kooky monologues delivered in a weak voice that sounds like the cattle mutilators did something to it.

Meanwhile, all George has to do is grunt approvals now and then before cutting to commercials for Texas Super Foods and Carnivora -- the show's major snake oils.

Linda will be discussing "odd earthquakes" and "a pregnant cow mutilation with a possible implant in the ear in a Missouri pasture, at the same time as a neighbor saw a beam of light extend down from a bright object in the sky."

Here are some questions I can imagine George asking near the end of Linda Molding's other-worldly ramblings about cows:

"Linda, let me ask you this.  I always wanted to know if you ever once accidently stepped in a cow patty from a mutilated cattle as well.  And would that cattle patty have also been mutilated as well? 

"Did you ever have your shoes analyzed for any traces of alien saliva or something else on your cattle poopy shoes? 

"Hey, did you know that I once sold shoes while in college at the University of Detroit.  I sure did."

To be fair, I forgot to cite GN's bio as his Wikipedia page.

Here's his bio from C2C for those who might have overlooked it.

http://www.coasttocoastam.com/pages/george-noory

<snip> George Noory,  host of the nationally syndicated program, Coast to Coast AM, says if he weren’t a  national radio talk show host he’d be in politics.</snip>

Maybe he's going to use the show to launch his political career at age 64.

Well he always claims that people "have talked to him" about running. I say run. Make a campaign interesting and funny like those Montana and Vermont debates.

It would be a hoot wouldn't it! I have a hard time taking him seriously about most things on and off his show. There were some wacky candidates in elections over the years. I think Grandpa Munster/ Al Lewis ran for Governor of New York in the late 90s. I can't imagine how he thinks he could raise enough cash, gain influential supporters, actually make coherent speeches, convince people that he's qualified, and debate life long politicians who have held other offices throughout their careers. Let's not forget foreign policy matters. I doubt barber shop anecdotes are going to cut it. This is another silly cause fuelled by his concerns for the little guy and the country. Like the power grid, helping those who are down and out, consciousness raising, and intention experiments.

LMH's obsession with cows reminded me of this

I actually stayed up until 2 this morning listening.  I was somewhat interested in the doctor who kept knocking olive oil.  When Deborah King came on, I actually expected her to have "phone trouble".  George kept asking her the same questions over and over again, and a lot of what she had to say seemed vague and evasive, but I guess I need to read her book.  That bat experience seems to have really imprinted on her. Very  few species of bats are harmful to humans, just as few spiders are harmful to humans. Only a few species are of the "vampire" variety.  The rabies thing is over-exagerrated.  The Scarabs(bug club in the Seattle-Everett area) had a bat expert speak to them in August. Bats are actually beneficial to us because of the insects they eat.


These blind tidbits about celebrities always cause people to try to guess the celebrity.  I have a couple of explanations.  I think unbeknownst to Ms. King, this girl may have been wearing some sort of stocking or thing on her feet that created a cloven hoof appearance.  Since I started dancing, I became aware of all sorts of these special socks,etc. that I had never seen before and some are pretty strange.  They either make them  themselves or you can buy them in dance specialty stores.  Since many actresses are former dancers, this makes sense to me.  It may have been something to mitigate the problems associated with wearing really high heels.  When I used to wear heels I used some of these devices myself.  They all attached to the inside of the shoe, but maybe there are some that go on your foot.
Or she may have dreamed it or something.  Remember in the novel East of Eden by John Steinbeck, he mentioned that Kathy Trask's feet were so short and wide that they resembled hooves.

The cool naturalist who was on some weeks ago who did his graduate works on bats would agree.  He was a big proponent of them and even told one caller how she could get them out of her attic without harming them.  That lady needs to relax.

You guys are all smarter and more entertaining than Noory ever was.

umm..fuck you too!

I remember George stating that he could be considered an expert on the middle east because his father was Lebanese and that he regularly heard conversations at a barber shop where the old men talked about the old country. I know that others here have mentioned this as well.

Does her really think this qualifies him? I don't know about your stations, but for a while, they were playing clips of George musing about current events during the daytime shows. The clips were totally vapid- "sumthin's happenin"! I think they were supposed to make him sound worldy and knowledgeable but fell way, way, short of the mark. I'd always giggle when I heard them.

Does he think he's on the same level as Christiane Amapour? She's just the first journalist I thought of when he made the comment above.

Let's see her qualifications:

http://abcnews.go.com/ThisWeek/christiane-amanpour-biography-anchor-week-christiane-amanpour/story?id=11208824#.T2jWRSuXR_c

Christiane Amanpour is the global affairs anchor for ABC News, providing international analysis of important issues of the day for ABC News programs and platforms, and anchoring primetime documentaries on international subjects, as well as host of "Amanpour" and chief international correspondent for CNN International. Previously, Amanpour anchored ABC's Sunday morning political affairs program, "This Week," from August 2010 to December 2011.
Her illustrious career in journalism spans three decades. When she became an international correspondent for CNN in 1990, her first major assignment was covering the Gulf War. She has since reported from the world's major hotspots, including Afghanistan, Iraq, Iran, Pakistan, Somalia, Israel, the Palestinian territories, Asia, Rwanda, the Balkans, and the U.S. during Hurricane Katrina. She has interviewed most of the top world leaders over the past two decades, including securing the only interview with Hosni Mubarak and an exclusive with Muammar Ghadafi during the Arab Spring.
null 
Amanpour has received every major broadcast award, including an inaugural Television Academy Award, nine News and Documentary Emmys, four George Foster Peabody Awards, two George Polk Awards, three duPont-Columbia Awards, the Courage in Journalism Award, an Edward R. Murrow Award and nine honorary degrees. In 2011, Amanpour received a Giants in Broadcasting award and was the 2011 recipient of the Walter Cronkite Award for Excellence in Journalism from Arizona State University. She is a member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, a commander of the most excellent order of the British empire and a honorary citizen of Sarajevo.
Amanpour was born in London and spent part of her childhood in Tehran, Iran. She graduated summa cum laude from the University of Rhode Island with a B.A. in journalism.

Now George:
Noory was born in Detroit to an Egyptian-born father and his American-born wife. Noory grew up in Dearborn Heights with two younger sisters as Roman Catholics of Lebanese descent.[1] He graduated from the University of Detroit in 1972 with a bachelor's degree in Communications, and began his radio career as a newscaster for Detroit station WCAR-AM. He would later move into Detroit television and take a position as an assignment desk editor and news producer at then-CBS affiliate WJBK-TV.[2] Noory would later serve as news director for KMSP-TV in Minneapolis,[3] and later as news director at KSDK-TV in St. Louis. He would win a total of three local Emmy Awards for his work in TV news.[2] He also served 9 years as an officer in the United States Naval Reserve.[1] In 1996 he hosted a late-night program called Nighthawk, over KTRS in St. Louis,[1] which caught the attention of executives at Premiere Radio Networks, syndicators of Coast to Coast AM with Art Bell. Noory would serve as a substitute host for Bell.
In January 2003, following Art Bell's retirement, Noory took over as the permanent weeknight host of Coast to Coast AM.[1]


Edited to add: Plus anything said on a political show can be scrutinized and challenged. People can check sources quoted, etc. You can't just skate by on airy fairy claims and ask the same questions of every guest.

Sure, but George's qualifications are easier to read.   That makes him relateable to the everyman  ;) .

Seriously, I have a headache and reading Christiane Amanpour's extensive resume isn't helping.

Little interesting fact after reading your post.  Bats make up 20% of mammal species, with bat species numbering 1240.

There's the theme music!

We have cattle lift-off!

Ghoul George had to mention the stroller recall which can pinch or amputate kids fingers.

Some day Tommy will write his tell-all memoirs of life with George:

"And in his office he had this baby doll that he'd rip the arm off of and use it to beat the plastic baby over the head.  We thought that was a little weird."

It's part of George's new standup act.

After he finishes singing Falling in Love with you at his events, he starts in with 'What the heck is goin' on with airline food?  That guy knows what I'm talkin' about'

"What the heck is going on with Bigfoot?" is up next.

NoMoreNoory

Obama will 'literally be sheltering 5 million immigrants'. One hell of an umbrella the President has!

"Bigfoot Updates."

"Bigfoot was spotted trying to fuck a football."


George is like the PETA chairman for Bigfoot.

But Tommy would eat one if the Boss wasn't looking.

Nice to see Snorge mention that the Darren Wilson (the policemanwho shot the Michael Brown) might be leaving the police force if he's acquitted, but ignored reports that he might be a KKK member.

Yeah it's from Anonymous, but they're more legit than the "sources" of most of Snorge's guests and cronies.  ::)

too late, whats done is done! I couldn't find a kindergarten scrawl font.

I love George's "disgusted" reaction to violence:

"Oh, my god."

Meanwhile, Tommy knows that's not a banana in George's pocket.

You make a good point.

These photos of cattle mutilations show really crude techniques -- not much better than the cows would do (and moo) among themselves.

You'd think aliens who have the means to travel so far would do a much more sophisticated-looking job -- instead of leaving behind the handiwork of methed-up A & P butchers.
