After the public relations debacle and subsequent failure of "Noory Nation" and with TV's new Fall season fast approaching, The Noor and Hoags knew they had to do something, anything, to get their mugs on the boob tube.

They quickly set up a meeting with the folks at NBC and pitched to them the perfect vehicle to showcase their esoteric abilities (and to piggy back on an established hit TV show) : adding them to the cast of "Heroes". NBC and the minds behind the show actually bought the idea and plans were quickly drawn up to integrate Hoags and Noory into the show.

When the new season premieres this Monday, The Noor will join the cast as, what else, an esoteric radio host who is desperate to learn more about the "heroes". His season-long story arc will see him struggle to decide whether or not to use a Ouija Board to unlock the secrets of their superpowers. Sadly, his character will meet an untimely end, when he finally musters the courage to wield the Ouija only to have it thwarted when super villain Sylar eats his brain.

Richard C. Hoagland will play a disaffected drifter who suddenly realizes that he can see "man made structures" in otherwise mundane pictures. Unfortunately, since no one else can see them, his power will be deemed "non-existant" by the other heroes and his story arc will detail his struggles coping with a superpower that no one else thinks is "super" at all.

Tune in Monday, as The Noor and Hoags join the rest of the "Heroes".
