He was doing a chupacabra show once and a good-old-boy truck driver called in. Truck driver wanted to know where he could get one. He wanted it as a pet.
Art said, “Sir, a pet?”
“Six inch razor sharp fangs, blood red eyes?”
“Vicious temperament?
“You want it as a pet?”
Truck driver replies, “aw hell, that don’t scare me - that sounds a lot like my ex-wife.”
His show was the greatest. Not the show, necessarily, but the cast of characters it attracted at 2am.
I miss Art. Talk about bringing back memories!
"His show was the greatest. Not the show, necessarily, but the cast of characters it attracted at 2am."
The greatest. Art Bell has an ability to interview and get at things that George Noory does not. That, and Art loved this country. Who really knows whether Noory does or not?
Art made the decision to retire wwaaaaayyy too early.
I can't hardly believe anything that any of the guests say, but it is fun. (For example, the guy who last week thought he had captured a Bigfoot. Turns out the whole thing was a hoax. Not quite sure who perpetrated it, but many swallowed it hook, line and worm.)
