My Mini-Review of the Coast To Coast AM show hosts
While browsing Warez-BB, my primary source for warez, I came across this thread. The topic author seemed to dislike George Noory, so I asked him...
Just curious, do you like George Noory or Ian Punnet or George Knapp as hosts? Or is it that Art Bell tends to have the more interesting topics?
and he replied...
I think that appointing George Noory as the host of C2C was a cursory attempt at filling the enormous hole that Art created when he left. Art can lead an interview and really bring depth and an intellectually intriguing aspect to almost any topic. George comes nowhere near such performance achievements.
I like Ian Punnet. He's smart and has a witty intellect. He's done the show for many years in a back-up capacity. So, I was sort of shocked when they brought this Noory guy in to take Art's place. Probably political...
What do you think?
and so I'd post up my mini-review of each host.
I like Ian Punnet the best because he is willing to go deeper into the topic and challenge the guest. Ian doesn't take bullshit as easily. He also gets most the interesting topics and guests.
Art Bell is my second favorite because he is just like Ian. He is not afraid to go deeper and challenge the guest. One minor complaint though is when Art does the beginning of the show, he usually talks about his personal stuff which I don't really don't care about. Sometimes they are interesting, but for the most part it's just a waste of time.
George Noory is alright, but he has far inferior interviewer. I lost count of how many times the guest goes on about something and I'm wondering "what does he mean?" or if the guest could elaborate. But George Noory just moves on to the next question without challenging or questioning the guest or asking the guest to elaborate on a certain point. The thing I do like about Noory is when he does the news at the beginning of the show. Straight to the news without spin, no or very little commentary and he is very brief.
George Knapp simply sucks because all he talks about is UFO's. No diverse subject matter in his shows. It really gets annoying to hear the UFO, black helicopter tin foil hat crowd alien conspiracies for every show that he does. His intro kicks arse though.
There you go, my mini-review of each host.
