David Venable off again ?

Reever — Sun, 02 Feb 2020 17:07:37 GMT

Looks like David is off again. Many of us plan our Sunday around In the Kitchen ever since Bob hosted the program. It seems he took 10 days off around the Holidays. These QVC hosts seem to get an inordinate amount of vacation time. Have to endure Mary all afternoon now but will keep watching.

Maybe he wanted to wear sneakers and watch the "Big Game" ,so he took off so as not to offend loyal viewers.

Thought he had a super bowl party every year and took off. Maybe I’m thinking of someone else but thought it was him.

OP I am confused, if you are "enduring" Mary, why continue to watch? I am not being argumentative, but it appears you do not care for her hosting.

He busted his behind from October thru December, everytime I switched over to the Q it seemed like Shawn, David or Jane were on. They need time off.

This David worship is a little weird, JMO. He is a good salesman but his act doesn't really vary much. 🤷‍♀️

I am a creature of habit and I have planned my Sundays around In the Kitchen for over a decade. I do not like change. I understand everyone deserves time off. I guess if he is hosting a party he needs time to prepare the appetitzers. Id much preferred they used Mary Beth when David is off that was my point.

I enjoy watching Mary very much. She explains the items well. I don't miss David and hope he enjoys his day off.

Mary is happy to have had her thyroid cancer removed recently as she stated she did not have to have any treatments. Good for her and she is happy again.

@Group 5 minus 1 No, that's not true for adults.

However, under the US Department of Labor, every state has "child entertainment laws" that govern the number of hours children may or may not work in entertainment industry.

have a feeling that ITKWD viewership might be low on SBS so he just takes that day off

@Caaareful Shopper, oh, my. I thought that @Group 5 minus 1 was joking. Now I'm not too sure.

@Reever, as an adult, you probably already know this: The world does not revolve around you or your schedule.

David is one the Q's heavy hitters. He's in rotation a lot. He gets compensated with time off.

He might be sick. He was on Thursday night and his voice was rough and he was drinking water on the set. He just wasnt' his effervescent self.
