History Radio / CoastToCoastAM

** And even ''VideoGame/{{Fallout}}''. Some guy calls to talk about his "revelation" of Vault 101, and the host ''buys it as real.''

* DemonicPossession: There's a number of folks who claim this on this show. J.C. Webster III believes this is the case with Charlie Sheen....except the devil in question is the spirit of Rick James! Considering that J.C. thinks Blacks are inhuman devil-beings, it probably explains it.

* HeelFaceTurn: Edna Pringle started out as J.C. Webster's willing follower and main goon who would email Art & George harassing messages. Then she finally revolted and ran off with a biker/Streamlink member with $10,000.00 from the compound till. J.C. trying and failing to find her had become a regular RunningGag (He may or may not have caught her, depending on the call).
* HeManWomanHater: J.C. Webster III's views on the female half of humanity is akin to DAESH or The Taliban.

* ProlongedPrologue: While all of the hosts have decently-sized intro's, George Knapp's is perhaps the longest.[[Note]]“Good evening everyone. You are in the right place at the right time. This is Coast to Coast am, blasting out of the Mojave Desert like a sirocco, blazing across the land, into your town, into your home, slamming into your radio like a supercharged nano particle of unobtanium. Greetings from the boldest, bawdiest most outrageous city in the world; the planetary capital of sun, fun, sin, sex and secrets, my not so humble home town, Las Vegas, Nevada. My name is George Knapp, your occasional host, designated driver of the air waves and moderator of tonight’s upcoming cacophony of conversation. Thanks for being with us …”[[/note]]
* SitcomArchNemesis: J.C.Webster III, big time.

* StartMyOwn: After Art's contract and non-compete ran out with Premiere, he started his own radio show (first on Sirius/XM and later on Internet radio.
** Later hosts of that radio show do the same after being fired for various reasons (Heather Wade for missing too many shows after Art's death, and Tim Weisberg after an ownership change of the digital network)

* CoolVsAwesome: [[EvilVsEvil J.C. vs Oscar.]]

* RealSongThemeTune: Each show opens with "Chase", Music/GiorgioMoroder's instrumental theme from the film ''Film/MidnightExpress''.

* {{Bathos}}: The [[VideoGame/HalfLife Gordon Freeman]] call. The caller maintains a completely serious and convincing tone at all times and never breaks character, and the things he's describing are genuinely unsettling, but ''Half-Life'' fans (or gamers in general) will be cracking up because of the way he recounts the plots of the games without George Noory ''ever'' catching on.

** "From the High Desert/City of Angels/Gateway to the West/Somewhere Deep Underground!" "Turn your radio ''off!''" "Deus te Ama, and I do to!" "Good night America!"

* EnemyMine: An Ultra-Traditionalist Catholic named Bro. Michael Dimond (pronounced 'Diamond', not 'Dimmund') was a phone-in guest on the show and was incredibly irritating with his holier-than-thou ways. Then J.C. Webster III called and started a row with Dimond. George Noory quietly let them argue, then told J.C. afterwards that maybe they (Noory & J.C.) ''could'' see eye-to-eye on something, once in a while.
* HeelFaceTurn: Edna Pringle started out as J.C. Webster's willing follower and main goon who would email Art & George harassing messages. Then she finally revolted and ran off with a biker/Streamlink member with $10,000.00 from the compound's till.
