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.

However, WorldNetDaily reports interest in a President Noory campaign in 2012.

==Views on religion==
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 dunk, 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>.
==Controversy==
==="Father" Wingate's racial stereotypes===
Noory hosted a show in which he interviewed guest speaker, priest Wingate, a dissident Catholic and alleged prophet of the End Times. Wingate claimed to have spoken with "our Lord" (as many guests have on Coast to Coast) and that Americans are impatient due to their composition of a mixture of races, and that they were no longer Americans as they once were in the past (the implication being that America was once only composed of whites), and that because countries such as China are of one race only, that they have a common agenda (with the implication that therefore America will fall to such communist countries as China in the end). George did not express agreement with Wingate<ref>http://www.coasttocoastam.com/guest/wingate-father-andrew-c/5739</ref> and appeared to have tried to cut Wingate short from going on further with such claims by taking calls from listeners, but when Wingate attempted to continue George allowed him to.
===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>
