Roster / The early years

Late-night radio host who made UFOs and the paranormal a nightly national talk show from Pahrump, Nevada.

Bell started the overnight call-in show that became Coast to Coast AM in the late 1980s, broadcasting from his home in Pahrump, Nevada. At its peak it was carried on hundreds of stations, and it gave hours of airtime to UFO witnesses, researchers and callers who said they had inside knowledge.

With Whitley Strieber he wrote The Coming Global Superstorm (1999). He retired and returned several times before leaving for good; George Knapp and others went on to host the show.
