George Noory Sucks! - The Definitive Compendium

[ItsOver]

It's simple.  Jorch doesn't give a hoot as long as he's a got the nice checking coming in from PremRat.  He could care less what anybody here or elsewhere thinks.  He demonstrates that attitude every night on the show and in his responses to emails.  I don't think he cares that he sucks since he gets away with every night.  He probably laughs about it.

I think the most Georgie ever got out of "Mad" was how to fold-over the back cover to get the shhtrange new picture....

George read the instructions as 'flod-over the back cover', so it never worked out for him

[mombird3]

I have stopped listening to George Noory. I am not missing much.My husband puts it on while he has his snack or in the bathroom. The bathroom is a fitting place to listen as the flushing toilet and the shower noise drown the show out. ANYTHING IS BETTER. I listen on weekends. It is sad how much the show has deteriorated. And Noory does not seem to care, Maybe the stations will keep dropping the show. I hope the ratings fall when they do. Then it might dawn on Premier to get a replacement for Noory. It is horrible. I wish I had a job that I got paid for doing a lousy job. But then I always had ethics and did the best I could do. Noory has no ethics. Sorry George-- YOU JUST DO NOT GET IT!

[Mr.Kersey]

God...George Noory brings nothing to the table...absolutely nothing...smh

[Roy Hinkley]

Wow, a show on the New World Order - there's something new (he says rolling his eyes).

Lindsey.... How arrrreeeee yoooouuuuuuuuu!!

The whistling when this guy talks is just comical.

[Roy Hinkley]

George: "It's unbelievable to see this all unfold under our eyes."

Um, Georgie, I think it's either something under your nose, or right before your eyes.  Dumbass.

[Roy Hinkley]

OMG, he just did a drumroll for the new app and then a canned audience cheering.  What an idiot.

[Roy Hinkley]

Wow, Georgie actually dropped a testicle tonight - he's fiesty.

[Roy Hinkley]

He sure slammed down Lindsey for "bashing" Obama.

[Roy Hinkley]

[crickets.....crickets.......crickets......]

Anybody else out there?

[MTB]

I'm listening but debating how long I'm sticking with this crapfest.

[Immy]

I'd like to hear what this guy's "elite" friend has to say, but idiot Jorch sidetracked him just as he was about to list 10 things that people should know about the next four years. This guy gets the third degree and a debate and the "chevrons and chivalry" guy gets nothing?? What a moron.

Yes...damn his scripted questions.  The first time he actually has a real conversation with a guest, I'll probably fall out of my chair. 

[Roy Hinkley]

At least it's fun to count how many time Lindsey says "my elite friend(s)".

Yeah, no rhyme or reason as to who Georgie will challenge, and who he'll let pile on the crap.

lol did you hear that one lady last sound off? she was talking to the illuminati and nwo. she told them to stop being greedy or something.

[Nucky Nolan]

i think that's exactly how george and his "yes men" see the world around them.

They have no concept of reality if they really think that all of Noory's critics are outside of the mainstream of society. It's like a scene from "Being There".


(Not) George Noory: "I like to watch."
Guest: "You're a philosopher *and* a statesman!"

[MTB]

Ok, which one of you is the caller who just said what fun George is?

[Immy]

Jorch has a pathological inability to follow someone's train of thought. It goes beyond his reliance on the cue cards and being a bad listener. There's just a cognitive detachment.

[Nucky Nolan]

I was just thinking if I was George and I came to this site and saw what people had written about me, I would be fucking devastated. From the artwork and the doctored photos to the tome of insults on here- how the fuck would you recover from that?
Don't me wrong, I don't feel sorry for him; as I said before I need him to know he sucks. I guess in a way this site is a good thing...maybe he will listen to some of the complaints about him and change a lil somethin' somethin' here and there. This motherfucker cannot be THIS oblivious.

It would be different if he was a genuine, nice guy. His replies to emails, among other things, show that he isn't. He cultivates the persona or role of a nice guy, which probably fools regular listeners. All of that said, it's obvious that he has no intention of improving. He's gotten worse with experience and practice, which is the reverse of how it is with most people. His poor performance probably comes down to apathy, as well as job dissatisfaction. If we find out that he has some kind of problem that impacts his hosting/interviewing skills, I'll be among the first to feel like a jerk.

You got that right.  The guy could have just said he knew where Hoffa's body was, or the location of the secret underground lair of the Bigfoot..... and George would be like "okay, we'll be right back.  I want 5,000 new members to sign up for the Coast Club.  Be part of the club, be shuper shpecial."  "We'll be right back." 

While across the nation and around the world, thousands of listeners throw their radio against a wall as Georgie once again cuts off a guest at the most important revelation of the entire show.

[Doomed]

The slicksters and conmen have taken their toll. I tried to listen and be objective, but alas, it cannot be done.
Then: The guests were screened and then scheduled, in such a fashion, that we wouldnt be overloaded with one subject.
Now: noorys minions seem to grab whoever is available, and shove them on air. The screening process takes place in the first twenty minutes of the show. If they dont pass jorchs muster, they get the ol' bad phone routine and are never heard from again.
Then: Art and Ramona went to great lengths to insure the guests would be interesting enough to weather Arts longform style. If not, they would be paired up with another short segment guest, and we'd get two guests on one night. It was a rare occurance, but when it happened it was done with finesse.
Now: noory will cram whoever into the schedule, and even if the guest hadnt completed his presentation, they get the hook. Then the next guest  gets  the bums rush and its onto those "ompen lines."
Then: Even if the subject matter wasnt Arts favorite, he'd give it his best shot and pull a fine show out of his pocket. If the subject was of interest to Art, sit down, buckle up, and hang on. It was sure to be a classic.
Now: Jorch doesnt do subjects he doesnt like. (Or understands for that matter) This is why we get so much repetative material from noory. When he does a subject he likes, (Or thinks he understands), we get the same questions, same stupid remarks, same dumbass show after show after show.
Then: Art made each and every listener feel like they were part of the show. It was amazing how quick one could be drawn into the program, especially if something was going down while he was on the air. (Pheonix lights anyone?)
Now: Its nothing more than the "George Noory Show". There's no passion, no interest, not even a hint of caring what the listener walks away with. The show today is noorys paycheck, a vehicle he uses to further his career. He wants to be a TV star. He wants to be a bigshot.
He will never achieve the notoriety Art has because he refuses to work for it. Art Bell worked his ass off to build and nuture C2C, and it paid off because he dedicated himself to the task. Noory was handed the show on a platter and all he had to do was maintain the standard. It was all laid out for him and yet, he still managed to fuck it up. And he wonders why he has haters! Well George, if you happen to be reading this, now you know why the folks on this board, stand up, hold their glasses up high and proclaim, NOORY SUCKS!
I thank all of you for your time.

You may have hit on something here.  I used to hire "special" people to help different agencies.  Maybe Georgie is merely a federal tax deduction for Premier Radio because Georgie is "shpecial".  Maybe the entire office is shpecial - Georgie, Tommie, Ian, etc.??

I always assumed he was trying to help sell the guests' books so he makes sure to stop them before they give up the goods. It's infuriating and as I was listening tonight. I let out a very loud "shut up George!" This is the type of guest that would benefit from Well's shut up and let the guest endlessly ramble.

He shouldn't be there regardless

[Nucky Nolan]

Yeah, no rhyme or reason as to who Georgie will challenge, and who he'll let pile on the crap.

There might be a discernible and repetitive pattern. Let's name it Hinkley's Law, in your honor. The more improbable something is, the less Noory will challenge it. The less improbable something is, the more Noory will challenge it. This links to other patterns too. The most meandering and/or monotonous calls are the longest. The most fascinating calls are the shortest. You can count on it in his Bizarro World of radio-hosting.

LOL - that's so true about the calls.  Someone with a great shtory finally gets on and he either cuts them short or even makes light of it when you can tell it may actually be a legitimate call.  Another of his failings is he cannot tell the difference between a legitimate call and someone yanking his chain.  Then Hazel from New Jersey with the twelve cats gets on and talks about her doilie collection, or the guy that went on and on about his toenail collection and they get ten minutes with "The challenged One" because he in his way is making fun of them.  That's part of Georgie's evil side.  Oh, and thanks for "Hinkley's Law" - since you fleshed it out, how about the "Hinkley - Nolan Law"?

I'm all for that. In Noory's case, he sounds "special" when he tries to to be special. He seems to feel that we should praise him even when his effort and talent are lacking. Unlike us, he's special.

[Nucky Nolan]

He shouldn't be there regardless

How I wish that Art Bell had uttered that phrase instead of "Noory gets it"! Noory got it, and we got Noory.
