Wasn't she the Saturday night host for Art Bell for a number of years?
As interviewers go, she's probably #4 or 5 of talk show hosts whose interviews of authors actually "inspired" me to buy the book that was being promoted.
“Wasn’t she the Saturday night host for Art Bell for a number of years? “
Yes. She’s very intelligent AND knowledgeable. She can ‘bring it.’
George Snory apparently did not appreciate her abilities...
Barbara will go somewhere better, I hope, I hope, I hope...
Yes, Barbara did host Coast to Coast for a while, and was in the running to replace Art Bell in the last 90’s when he retired for the last time. If Art had anything to do with choosing his successor, it wouldn’t surprise me if Art did not think any woman host had enough ‘gravitas’ to host that show, so she was shut out.
Or it could have been that Noory’s easy going manner provided a sea change to the show’s format. A sea change so different than Art, that there would be no direct comparrison between the two. I could tell Barbara definitely loved talking about matters celestial, and probably still does to this day.
