Noory George life and biography

George Ralph Noory (born June 4, 1950) is an American radio talk show host.

Noory was born in Detroit, Michigan, but he grew up in Dearborn Heights. He now resides in Los Angeles, California and occasionally broadcasts from, and frequently mentions on air, St. Louis, Missouri.

While living in Detroit he worked in the news department of WCAR 1130 in Detroit, and later at Storer Broadcasting's Detroit CBS affiliate WJBK channel 2.

Noory was a broadcast major at the University of Detroit.

Noory's family is said to be of Lebanese Christian descent and his father was born in Cairo, Egypt, in 1922. According to Noory, he was brought up as a Roman Catholic and his mother was a devout Catholic. He says he believes in "a God," but some of his views, for instance, on reincarnation and the creation of the human race by aliens contradict mainstream Christian doctrine.

George Noory is currently divorced and has said on-air that he has been married twice. (He once referred to the odd-hours and stress of working as a late-night talk show host as one of the reasons for his failed marriages.) Noory has three children, and five grandchildren.

On May 15, 2009 Noory mentioned on the air, in passing, that he is a scuba diver.

In 2003 Noory became the host of Coast to Coast AM, a nightly national radio call-in show focused on UFOs, ghosts, and other paranormal topics. Noory took over the show from its original host, late-night legend Art Bell. (Earlier, Noory had filled in as host on some of Bell's off-nights.) Noory previously hosted his own late-night radio show in St. Louis, following an early career in TV news production.

Noory's nickname in St. Louis was 'the Nighthawk.'
