Todd English has left HSN

hwc2013 — Thu, 03 Apr 2014 20:58:48 GMT

Now i know the reason why there are no longer any Todd English Green pans on HSN & the reason is he is no longer with HSN. To make a long story short i ran into one of the "on air" hosts in the super market here in St. Pete Florida and i asked him what happened to all the Todd English green pans on there website, and he said Todd English is no longer with HSN and doesn't know why he left. So i googled Todd's name and it appears his empire his been falling for sometime, not paying rent on his restuarants etc etc.

I wonder if another major shopping network will pick him up. I could see him going to ShopHQ. I wouldn't take his 'green pans' for free, though, but he has a lot of product lines.

Yikes (assuming it's true) on not paying rent for his restaurant properties.

I hope he comes over to QVC. I always enjoy seeing him.

The Green Pans are terrible. I watched many presentations when they first were on and caved in and bought a set.

What a mistake! The first 2 times were ok. After that forget it. Everything sticks even with oil or butter which you are not supposed to have to use according to Todd and that terrible woman who was partnered up with him (Joy)

It was an awful waste of money.

National enquirer posted pics of Chef in a hot tub with a bunch of hot babes. Claims he off the deep end.

Burlington coat Factory has lots of pans by Emeril, Rachel Ray, Paula D. And the guy with bleached spiked hair. Good, good, good prices! Bet their stock will soon include Todd English.

I bought his and Joy's (on HSN) earth frying pans. They are ok. I never bought anything from him on HSN because I could not understand one single thing the man said!

He mumbles like the cartoon "Mr. Magoo". Remember him? Remember how he mumbled and the joke was you couldn't understand what he said?

I'm not surprised that he's having difficulty. Too bad because I don't like hearing about anyone having difficulty. He'll resurface again. He's nice looking, but I don't think he should be selling pots and pans.

Thank goodness he isn't with Joy anymore---she drives me insane with her constant' oh my gosh' this and that and he could hardly get a word in edgewise in the beginning when she was lurking around on his shows!! Never thought much of him anyway so I won't miss him

Yes, I agree about Joy! I can only take so much of her sincerity on these calls that come into HSN?

She seems nice enough, but good grief! Anyway, the two of them together didn't work well.

One thing you can say about HSN is that they're willing to try just about anything. I rather enjoy some of their couplings. Sometimes I wonder "Who is in charge of putting some of these people together"? Ha!

I love the copper-fused Elite green pans of his. I can't speak to the regular ones, but the copper ones are fantastic and beautiful to look at.

His presentations with Joy always confused me. Not that I watched much, because I wasn't interested in buying pots & pans from a home shopping show. But, they just seemed like a very odd pairing. However, she is quite a talker and I would consider Todd to be the opposite, so maybe they balanced each other out. I felt more like it was Joy sticking her nose is someone else's business just to make more $$$.

I cannot help wondering if he ditched hsn for the express purpose of ditching Joy. She's so very obnoxious and he's completely different in demeanor. If I were him I'd want to find a new home without all the crazy nutso stuff.

One reason I mentioned ShopHQ is that they seem to be getting more and more into selling kitchen stuff (smart move, branching out) so if they could attract more known chefs it would be to their advantage toward that end.

I don't shop there, or actually any shopping network anymore, much. But I have found myself purchasing a few things there lately - two from their kitchen items and one pair of 14k earrings (that I love). I used to love them back in the ValueVision days. They had THE best fine jewelry and loose gemstones. Too bad now they are more into costume jewelry - just like the other shopping networks.

OH MY GOSH! Remember he and Joy did a joint venture with the green pans. SHE WOULD NOT SHUT UP! She would NOT LET HIM TALK!

I've had mine almost since he first presented them (a few years ago) and I still use them everyday. They are the best nonstick pans that I've ever had. I followed the instructions for care and cleaning when they first arrived and still do today and I have never had any problems with anything sticking.

The few times I saw him selling, I thought he was kind of creepy and out of it.

I liked my green pans, but some of them ended up being less than non stick.

He was on an episode of Chef Wanted and he was totally high or drunk the entire episode and they got a good portion of his melt down on camera.
