==Coast to Coast AM==

Noory became a guest host for ''Coast to Coast AM'' before replacing [[Ian Punnett]] as the Sunday night host. His first show was on April 28 2001. On January 1, 2003, Noory took over week-night hosting duties from [[Art Bell]], who had again decided to retire. On January 21, 2006, it was announced that Bell would return to ''Coast to Coast AM'' on Saturdays and Sundays, replacing Punnett on Saturdays, and Noory on the first two Sundays of the month. Bell returned to the air waves January 22, 2006 following his wife's death on January 5, 2006. While Punnett went on to host the ''[[Coast to Coast AM#Coast to Coast Live|Coast to Coast Live]]'' spin-off on Saturday nights, Noory remained the week-night host. With Noory as host and Art Bell doing the weekends, ''Coast to Coast AM'' remained one of the most listened to late night talk radio shows.

Noory has repeatedly announced on-air that he is committed to remaining the principal host of ''"Coast"'' until at least 2012, a year frequently called the so-called "[[Doomsday]]". His commitment is substantiated by a long-term contract with [[Premiere Radio Networks]], a subsidiary of [[Clear Channel Communications]] which also produces radio programs for [[Rush Limbaugh]], [[Laura Schlessinger|Dr. Laura]], and [[Glenn Beck]]. Noory has stood by his foreboding notion that 2012 will be a year of calamitous change on a global scale.

Since then, Noory recently retracted his admission of staying on until 2012. On the August 17, 2007 broadcast, George Noory made a statement during the third hour that he had a meeting a few weeks ago with [[Premiere Radio Networks]] outlining his tenure. He stated that he wishes to sign another five year contract in 2012, extending his hosting duties until about 2017. Noory went on to mention, {{quotation|And then I'll go 3 days a week when I'm 66 years old.  That's 9 years away; that's a long time. And they [Premiere Radio Networks] said okay, we'll do it.|George Noory, ''[[Coast to Coast AM]]'', August 17, 2007}} Noory has repeatedly vowed on-air that he will stay on ''C2CAM'' until he is "dragged out."

However, [[WorldNetDaily]] reports interest in a President Noory campaign in 2012. This might be response to comments such as: {{quotation|In every city on my book tour through last year, audiences told me they are crying out for major change in Washington D.C.|George Noory,<ref> This article was written by a regular guest questioning George Noory about accepting a potential White House bid, which can not be considered serious.

On March 10, 2007, Noory introduced Art Bell for his Lifetime Achievement Award from "Radio & Records," the radio industry trade journal.<ref>http://www.coasttocoastam.com/gen/page1923.html?theme=light</ref> The next week he replayed his introductory speech and Art Bell's acceptance speech.  Noory revealed that although he has worked for ''Coast to Coast AM'' since 2001, that night was the first time he had met Art Bell in person.<ref>http://www.coasttocoastam.com/shows/2007/03/18.html</ref>

On various shows George has in various ways let it be known that he believes in God and that God is all knowing and powerful. George has encouraged prayer for various persons. He is opposed to Christian and Muslim fundamentalism though is tactful about it, for example saying to one of his guests "[[Brother]]" Michael Dimond "I can't believe that" when Brother Dimond said that anyone who was not apart of the [[Catholic Church]] would end up in [[Hell]].<ref>http://www.coasttocoastam.com/show/2009/05/25</ref> In another recent show, in which he was interviewing a guest who was raving about the Bible and Planet X, and seemed to be drunk, George said, "forgetting the religiosity" and attempted to get the guest to not quote large chunks of Scripture, most likely so as not to offend or turn off anti-Christian listeners. Interestingly, this guest was supposed to be interviewed for three-hours, but his ranting became so painful that without explanation the guest's interview was dismissed during commercial break.

Though George shows respect to [[mainstream]] [[evolutionists]], he has let it be known that he leans towards [[Intelligent Design]] and can't believe that there is no God and that atheism is evil<ref>http://topicagnostic.com/2008/10/17/coast-to-coast-ams-george-noory-calls-atheists-pure-evil</ref>.

===Mentally ill guests and pandering===

===Mentally ill guests and pandering===

Notable are the many clearly mentally ill guests who call into Coast to Coast AM, whose obvious rantings George will rarely disagree with, but which he will instead spin as a logical comment or question for the guest to comment on. A clear example of this occurred when one caller called in to talk about a conspiracy hard-drives and having something to do with Russians. George then replied to his guest with, "He's got a point there" despite the caller's comments making little sense.<ref>http://www.coasttocoastam.com/show/2009/02/04</ref>There is no evidence that this was an intentional pandering but may have simply been due to George not having paid attention to what was being said carefully and not wanting to have appeared to be [[asleep at the wheel]]. In contrast, hosts like [[Presbyterian]] host [[Ian Punnet]], who immediately expresses his disagreement with clearly illogical comments, though not always with a logical reply.<ref>http://www.coasttocoastam.com/guest/mayor-adrienne/7359</ref>
