Isn't Rick Domeier a senior host? He regularly kicks off the special values. What difference does it really make? It is a shopping channel!

I'm just curious why you think presenting the TSV at midnight is beneath MBR or any other host for that matter. It's part of the job I guess.

Maybe she asked for different hours or volunteered to fill a spot due to vacations.

I don't understand either. I haven't watched a lot recently, but as far as I know long-time hosts have often presented the TSV at midnight. It's not as though this is the type of job with an undesirable graveyard shift that's forced on the newbies.

She used to work mainly the evening shifts and then stay on for the Special Value, so maybe she is doing that again every now and then.

Thank you. I’m trying to figure out why anyone would care.

@QVCkitty1 @Carmie (don't scratch too hard) and everyone else who found it necessary to be nasty. It's a simple observation there's no need to be nasty. If I choose to be concerned that's my business don't worry yourselves about it.

I wonder if kicking off the TSV is a preferred slot. I would imagine that the hosts get some sort of incentive to make sales and a lot of people turn the TV on at midnight (only 9pm out here in California and 6 pm in Hawaii) to see what the special is.

The midnight shift could be a spot that is reserved for those who are the top sellers or given to those who request it.

@Snowhite714 Don't try to turn things around. No one is being nasty.

If it was a simple observation, and your business, why did you make a comment in a public forum?

I am not worried about it and no one else should be either.

The concern is that changes are afoot at the Q. For many people, the senior hosts have been a part of their daily routine for decades. For me, I have spent more time "with" them than I have with my family. It was an innocent question. I, too, wonder what is coming.

All the nasty responses add nothing to this conversation. I'll guess that they sometimes have longtime hosts do the TSV kick-off. Many people work shift work.

Re: MaryBeth Roe

qbetzforreal — Mon, 10 Jun 2019 11:44:44 GMT

Most of the "senior" hosts kick off the TSV.

AngelLove2 — Mon, 10 Jun 2019 11:46:41 GMT

OP, great question! For those of us who have watched QVC for years, Mary Beth usually doesn't work the TS or 6:00am hour. It seems to have started when QSN started. An excellent observation that didn't need snarky responses.

And just why would this be of interest? Its summer, lots of vacations and events and working people are allowed to have time off and somone has to fill in for them.
