Poor Amy!

Jepster — Tue, 07 Jan 2020 00:42:30 GMT

I awoke early this morning around 6AM and put QVC on..and there was Amy Stran at this ungodly hour. Now, this evening, I turn on the Q, and Amy is back for like a 5 hour show (according to the program guide)...I think they are working her air time unfairly. She is good, and I like her, but - she also has a family. I don't know if Shawn will take over for her before midnight or just come on at midnight like the schedule says. I just feel bad for Amy with these nutty hours - AND she has a family!!

I haven't seen the show you are talking about but I will say that often these days QVC plays re-runs over and over during the middle of the night and early morning hours.

If you stay up very late like I do (until sometimes 2-3:00 AM) you will see repeats of the midnight presentation.

I've awakened in the middle of the night to see Rick doing the same presentation he did at midnight.

The sound of his voice so loud wakes me up! Ha!

Are you kidding me? This is who you feel sorry for?

Wasn't there a time when both QVC and HSN were live all day long? I too have noticed encore presentations, I guess it's a way for both shopping channels to save money.

@Jepster About the last person I'd feel sorry for is a TV sales person. She's getting paid. She can resign if she's not happy with the hours!

Probably a rerun. If it isn't, you work when employer schedules you to work. Also, most of the time they do not work every day.

@Jepster: QVC airs reruns from 3:00-7:00AM. So the program you saw at 6:00AM was a rerun. But even if it was a live show, I wouldn't necessarily feel sorry for the host. They understand what the scheduling is like when hired.

??? Yes, she has a family but her husband, until recently was a stay at home parent!

MOST families have to juggle everything, it's called life. Amy is never on in the morning. She is compensated ridiculously swell. I wouldn't not feel sorry for her!

As for shawn, she works more than any other host by far!

I don't think any of us knows how any of the hosts are compensated.

Boy, could we get more nasty comments???? And one person seems to know how much she's paid (' She is compensated ridiculously swell.. ') Good grief.

Amy kicked off the TSV, worked 2hrs and and returned for an evening shift. She usually works 5hrs on Mondays. She'll be okay. Plus she was off during holidays, (wasn't she?) Courtney K. covered for her.

There are so many reruns of shows now it's hard to tell. I notice they put LIVE in the upper right corner during a show now. Amy is fortunate to have a stay-at-home hubby to help with the kids and family.

I just find it hard to believe people would feel sorry for a show host like AS or for any other show host for that matter who might have to work more than 4 hours on air. You must really feel bad for the single mother who copes with working on a daily basis with no help, I know I do.

Lately they are live...this did not say previously recorded.

My store manager works in retail 60-80 hours a week , not kidding. She makes about 30 % of what Amy makes. It's her job and she is committed to doing it. It's Amy's job. No pity from people in the real world.

@blackhole99 Ty for thinking of us single moms, I appreciate that!! Now, to the OP, what you saw @ 6am was a re-run! (As another poster stated) Trust me, I work 3rd shift and am up all night every night and if you saw that at 6am EST then it was definitely a re-run!

That being said, I would NEVER "feel sorry" for someone who is making MORE than a decent living!

@Annabellethecat66 ... as far as I know the repeats start at 3 AM on the main channel & go on all night to about 8AM

She gets paid so what does having a family have to do with anything? Sheesh!
