D & Co host???

ncmom — Wed, 08 Mar 2023 21:40:22 GMT

Now that Carolyn is not at the Q, who do you think would be a good replacement for Tuesday’s show with Gary?? I saw Pat on Sunday; she’s a very good host. Some hosts seem to fit or align with certain products or brands…who do you think is a good fit with D & Co? I’ll miss Carolyn and wish her well.

Theis was discussed extensively a few days ago. I don't think there much more to be said.

None. My opinion, of course.

That's not sour grapes. I've seen all of them work with Gary. They don't fit the D&C image.

QVC shot themselves in the foot. Very bad judgement going on in that company. It's very difficult finding someone who represents a product image so well.

I think Carolyn looks best in and wears Denim & Co, and is a perfect match for Gary.

No other pair was so perfectly matched except Shawn and Isaac and QVC stuck it's nose into that pairing and separated them.

Yes, I know they were paired a week or two ago, but hadn't been together for a long time before that.

I think Pat or MaryBeth would be good choices. Definitely not Mary D., Ali, Julia or Nancy.

Pat is a great host as are Jayne, Mary Beth, Rachel , Terri, Sandra to name a few. Carolyn was special. She knew everything about her products and her sharing of life stories helped all of us. She was very matter of fact but her words were sage. The company has every right to do what it wants but this was too much. I'll still watch food programs(even though she won't be presenting) and shop online but, I won't be turning on Tuesday's Denim and Co.I bet a lot of women felt a little sick about this decision.

@Foxxee I couldn't have said it any better...you are absolutely correct! My regular scheduled Tuesday mornings with Carolyn and Gary have ended...will no longer watch!

why does there have to be an assigned host for the D C shows?

Of all the hosts Rachel is the one who looks best in the clothing

No one is indispensable and Gary seems comfortable with whoever he is paired with.

My hope is that this is the best time for a refresh of the entire Denim & Co. brand. Denim is [and always will be] trending and very popular. But who really thinks of fresh, really cute denim pieces from Denim & Co.?

Even with the word denim in its very name, it's the last place I'd think to go to for denim. Swing tops, french terry sweatshirts, dense florals -- yes. Good essential t-shirts -- yes.

So my nominee is Mary Beth Roe.

My choice would be Mary DeAngelis. I find she has an exceptionally good sense of humor, and she is a very good host. Mary looks great in D & Co, and she works well with everyone.

Carolyn came across as authentic because she wore the brand in her personal life. I guess it doesn't matter now because all hosts are hired to sell.......and there are times they really earn their paycheck.

Gary is so easy going and likeable he would do great with any host but please not you know who

I thought that Sandra did a good job hosting with Gary this past Sunday; then I watched the Tues show with Julia - that was a train wreck, felt bad for Gary. He would have been better off hosting by himself and the models.

I don't care for SB at all. She had zero chemistry with Gary.

Mary Beth used to be the original host, and then Jill Bauer and then Caroline. I don’t watch it anymore, but I think Mary Beth would be the best choice again.

Re: D & Co host???

SharkE — Thu, 09 Mar 2023 01:08:55 GMT

I don't think she will be around much longer either.

Yeah, she would be good choice. Older and full figured and is respectful of another individual that is with her.

I think Terri Conn would be great. I saw her recently on a D&Co show on Q2 and she looked great in everything. She’s also has a sweet, likeable personality. After Terri, I think I’d choose Mary D., Mary Beth or Pat. Of course, I’d really rather have the Garolyn duo back together 🥲

I related to Carolyn when it came to D & C. What she said, what she wore, I bought into it. And I enjoyed all my purchases.

Going forward, I don't care for many of the hosts left, some are completely turn off's. One, I found offensive when she was wearing a sweater from Laurie Felt and her breast was exposed, and she was sitting with her feet up on a couch? Not a good look for for the sweater, and of course I didn't buy. If this is the future of QVC, then it's not attractive.

I stopped buying last May, and I haven't watch since. However, since I do participate in this forum, and also Facebook, if they return to a sensible plan to sell on TV again, I will look again. But there are too many people with problems for me to want to return.

@nascarfan You make a great point about Carolyn wearing D&C in her personal life. There are some hosts I can't see them wearing certain lines. While they may wear them for presentations they don't look as comfortable as Carolyn always did. They fit her lifestyle.

I think Mary D works well with Gary. He doesn't need a hyper co-host.
