** Another tearjerker show was over a decade earlier, when Art spent the first hour relating the death of his then-wife Ramona. His candid sharing of his grief and suicidal thoughts at one point caused concerned fans to call the Nye County Sheriff to do a welfare check on him.

** "Oscar", a snarling, raspy-voiced man who sounds positively ''[[EvilSoundsDeep demonic]]''. Even George is [[TooSpicyForYogSothoth freaked out by him]]. Every call he makes is incredibly chilling to listen to (with the exception of that time where he [[SugarWiki/CrowningMomentOfFunny got in an argument with J.C.]])

** You'd think a prank call by a man claiming to be [[VideoGame/HalfLife Dr. Gordon Freeman]] would be a CrowningMomentOfFunny, right? Especially since George Noory is sufficiently out of touch with the gaming community to not SpotTheThread. Wrong. "Gordon" manages to keep a [[TheComicallySerious completely straight face]] as he describes the disturbing nature of being stalked by The G-Man and express his fears of being stalked by a MysteriousWatcher. Arguably dips into {{Bathos}} due to being an obvious crank call, but "Gordon" never breaks character, not even a chuckle.

*** If it's of any consolation, most subsequent calls seem to indicate that this is not the case and J.C.s still looking for Edna. Either he got the wrong woman and let her go or J.C. is just a long-running made-up character (despite what the hosts say). The two calls where she's supposedly mentioned "being captured" are best left into the world of FanonDiscontinuity. Plus, Edna continually thrawrting J.C. is a great running gag.
