David Venable - on assignment

Reever — Sat, 23 May 2020 03:13:27 GMT

They said David was not on tonight because he was on "special assignment". He apparently was in the building taping something that will air this summer. They were not at liberty to discuss what the project is, only that it is a collaborative effort. Very strange indeed.

Probably taping all the promos for Christmas in July with those big ornaments doing the happy dance with the big blowup lawn ornaments😉🙂

Thank God they have David because obviously he's the #1 salesman for QVC since people seems to be bothered he's not on....

Without David QVC sales would be worse -- he can sell "ice to eskimos" as my dad would say!😉

"On special assignment" is commonly used in television. It's just a catch-all phrase to explain someone's absence, and usually doesn't mean very much at all.

@NYC Susan He could just be in the restroom. He has to be going crazy by now not eating that food. That I don't get.!!

Maybe @homedecor1 is right....perhaps CIJ promos...OR perhaps he did a new cookbook and thats what he's promoting????.........And whats this "on assignment" it doesnt seem this would be anything special because of CO-VID and traveling restrictions..... He used to do those special shows from the Wine Festival in Colorado (he taped all kinds of stuff behind the scenes and streamed those, but only showed the same ole same ole products on air...hope its not that....to me that was a waste of money and time...more like a vacation for the crew, but nothing new for the viewer.) Or maybe he's updating his happy dance....

Maybe they're just trying to be provocative and cause everyone to speculate. Sounds likely that this is it.

@BeccaLou. If he's "not eating that food", he doesn't need to be on the rest room! 😀😉

@Pearlee But he ate at home or on the way to the Q. I hear him say this is for the food on the way to woek or his drive home. He will be really think if he only ate at the Q lately. He He !!

David announced in advance on his social media pages that he would not be on the Friday show because he was "on assignment." Whether he picked that phrase or someone else did and he just used it, as has been mentioned, it's just a generic way of saying he's still working but won't be on air. There's a good chance he'll tell us what it was all about later; this has happened many times over the years.

Not strange at all IMO. It's just a way to whet viewer's appetite and create interest for what's to come.

David just announced on his Instagram page that he and Mary will have an interesting announcement today at 5:00PM on his page.

@faeriemoonSo true! But actually, the announcement is that QVC has produced a short cartoon version of QVC with David and Mary. This animation will air at 5:30pm (est) today on all of QVC's social media pages, and Youtube (In the Kitchen youtube channel).

UPDATE:

During David & Mary's Live IG feed on now, David just answered a poster and said this animation announcement is separate from the assignment he was working on Friday. That assignment is scheduled to be revealed "June/July/August timeframe."

David mentioned that he is not the only host that is working on the "special assignment", multiple hosts are involved and he was working on his portion Friday night. Also, David mentioned that the QVC studio is very large and out of caution they are not eating food during presentations, he also said some of the food is frozen and used during multiple food shows.
