David Venable off again

Reever — Sun, 19 Mar 2023 16:23:49 GMT

Was looking forward to In The Kitchen and Mary is on subbing for David. Will have to endure another host giggling and babbling. Not a good Sunday. Many of us plan our viewing schedules around QVC.

The man gets vacation per his contract.

If you plan your viewing ( as you said) around whether David is on Sunday or not, be mad at yoursef for not planning well. This was not a last minute change.

I enjoy Mary immensely so this a non-problem for me.

The DAVID OBSESSION.

He's been at the Q for decades. He has a lot of vacation time.

Good grief!

It's a nice change of pace.

You do not have to endure anything. Turn off the television and do something else.

I'd rather watch Mary than an obviously bored David. At least Mary is lively, funny, and acts interested.

I got it. Understand vacation time. But, 2 Sundays in a row. Come on. Also, stop callling it In The Kitchen with David, if he is not there. From a business standpoint, I am sure they donot like the drop in sales when he is off

Good grief! He's entitled b to his vacation days. He's WORKED for them.

If I were David I'd be worried.

I hope I never have to plan my life around watching QVC. How sad.

I don't understand the fascination with certain hosts that people plan their watching around when they'll be hosting. That's a little strange to me. Whenever I turn on QVC, I never know who's hosting.

@Carmie I agree. But fear something like that is in my future. So I can't fault people for it. But yes, it is sad.

@Florida shopper55 They still loudly proclaim "Quacker Factory by Jeanne Bice" and she's been dead for 10 years so I find that highly unlikely. ITKWD when he's not there isn't much of a stretch. At least he'll be back.

The OP has stated many times that she has watched QVC for most of the day, for over thirty years. She chooses to "endure" it.

@Sooner If it weren't for the prepared food, I bet kitchen show sales would've tanked by now. Most everyone is bored to death with the vendors, who seem to have nothing new anyway.

They have been giving him so many more shifts lately besides ITKWD shows. He earned the time off. Mary is a good substitute.

Maybe I'm unique, I prefer Mary over David any day.

im hurt that you think that way. Has it occurred to you that some are home bound? I was simply starting I enjoy ITKWD not ITKWM. Many foodies are disappointed that this is the 2nd week without the regular host.

I stopped watching kitchen shows on the Q when Bob Bowersox left. He was amazing, he could cook and it wasn't all fat quick foods, he also didn't do a silly dance.

Bob was a chef.
