The thing about Noory is that he lets the interviewee dig his own hole. George is smart like that. I like Noory.
I'm showing my age, but when I was a kid, I listened to a show hosted by "Long John Nebel" out of NYC, that ran from midnight to 5 AM, and was really the prototype for the Coast to Coast AM show.
The format was a little different, Noory's show is all done over the phone, and Nebel had live guests in the studio, generally several at a time, so it was more of a round table discussion than a one-on-one interview.
But he had the same collection of kooks spewing their kookery. In fact, a few days ago one of Noory's guests was talking about one of the UFO people I remember from Nebel's show (George Adamski).
Nebel was a skeptic, and was always willing to challenge his guests. He wasn't a "yes man" like Noory.
I prefer that.
