He's moved on.
Looks like it was not the first time he's moved on:
See the "Whatever happened to Corey Greenberg?" thread here:

About 10 years ago when he used to write for Stereophile, I loved his equipment reviews because of his unique humor. But, he hasn't been heard from since. What happened to him?

You will find a great many of us were experiencing the boom a good while before he showed up.

I just hope that the next thing he gets into is something I don't like.
lol!!
Cory Who?
Who?
So we can blame that guy? sweet.
Good to have a name I throw to the wife when she sees more boxes at the front door!
I faintly remember that show. I went looking for my cup and brush and tryed hot lather again but it took too much time back then when I was morning shaving so I let it drop by the wayside till I read an article on ATOM a few years ago and google up B&B.
"But honey, it's from Corey Greenberg"... "Who?"
I can honestly say that Corey's spot on the Today show got me started.
Maybe P&G put a hit on him?
"Worldwide" shaving "boom?" Hardly, IMHO. Classic Shaving got a specific mention, I was told, and prospered therefrom. I don't know anyone personally who saw this segment and have myself never seen it. READ about it on ShaveMyFace.com
Haven't seen the demographics but my GUESS is that the Today Show is more viewed by women than men, depending on the specific time segment. Many men are commuting to, or are already at, their jobs between 7:00 and 9:00 a.m. weekdays. And the show doesn't have a huge "worldwide" viewership.
corey's rep is that if this were a horse with real legs, Corey would still be riding it.
Forums like this have done more to spark a mild resurgent interest in this vocation/hobby/obsession/whatever, but no doubt exposure in the "mainstream" media hasn't hurt!

Who is Cory Greenberg? It's the first time I have ever heard this name.
Same here.

That is the segment we are talking about. Corey Greenberg (note spelling) also participated online for a short while. He was an NBC editor at the time of the video.
