Auditioning...

febe1 — Tue, 28 Mar 2023 14:29:25 GMT

I think Jayne Brown is working real hard for the Denim & Co. position. She just suggested to Gary they call each other Brogel. Like Carolyn and Gary used to have a combined name.

Jayne's working it. Last week I heard her mention she and Gary were taking an art course together.

Could this be it?

@febe1 I really don't believe Jayne has to be "working it". She is a very good host, lots of class, and knows her stuff. Perhaps she is just trying to help the customers feel a connection that some had to Carolyn. Jayne does not need to audition for anything, in my opinion.

Jayne has been covering fashion shows including Denim and Company for a VERY long time. Longer than Carolyn was with the company.

Jayne doesn't need to work hard for any position as a host on QVC. She's a seasoned, excellent host who knows what she's doing. QVC decided to put her with Gary and, in my opinion, it was a good move.

They've been taking an art class together for several years. It has nothing to do with D&C.

Jayne doesn't have to audition for any job at QVC.

Jayne Brown was the first host that I ever watched. I remember buying shoes from Jayne Brown. From that time on she has been my favorite.

I agree she is a great choice to sell Denim&Co. or anything!

Jayne has my vote to host the D&Co. Tuesday morning show.

I cannot tolerate any of the newer/ younger hosts and do not watch them on any show, with the exception of Vanessa.

@febe1 Jayne has always called her and Gary "Broben" for a combo of their last names. They are friends outside of work, so they have a nice interaction that is real and natural.

Make anybody the host except that Nancy person with her "Gary this and Gary that and Gary, Gary, Gary......".

I love Jayne hosting D&Co shows. What I like most is when she drops her humor bombs unexpectedly but not that often. Her laugh is the best.

Sunday on QVC2, another host said "Gancy" ugh. Come up with your own new tag line.

I try to hold my negative comments against any of the hosts especially some of the newer one's and give them a chance to work the kinks out and improve with time, but on the D&C show on Sunday, Nancy was getting annoying with her constant - and Gary, oh, Gary, what do you think, Gary, Gary,Gary, Gary, had to switch channels.

Jayne is not one of my favorites to watch. I probably wouldn't watch Denim & Co. if she became the permanent host. JMO

@febe1 - the two have taken art classes together for over 5 years.

They had Leah on with Gary today. I've watched Leah for years on Saturdays and think she does a great job with Gary. She's done a wonderful job all these years. She is especially good with guests.

Gary works well with everybody and I think he makes everyone look good.

Jayne, Leah, Mary Beth and Pat all have longevity, high-paid salaries and are of retirement age, combinations of what I believe is the reason they let Carolyn go. That makes me believe they might go for one of the newer hosts.

Jane is one of the best imo. She is calm,cool and collected and gives a thorough description of whatever she is selling.

Agree @Goodie2shoes that Jayne B. is one of the best. What a great choice to become the new D&C host. What's not to love with Jayne?

Yes @SoCal Bred - I have to agree. Nancy is a pleasant host, but the constant "Gary" in every sentence is quite excessive. I don't see her often, but does she do this with others or just Gary?

@febe1 Jayne actually has more true association with Denim & Co. than any other host.

She was the Assistant Buyer for Denim & Co. (and the Buyer for Quacker Factory) for many years before she started hosting on air. She & Gary are great personal friends, and they've been taking art classes for 7 seven years together.

@San Antonio Gal - I don't know if Nancy is excessive with the usage of their names with other vendors when she's hosting, I don't watch the Q as much, I just happened to tune in on Sunday's show during a commercial break watching another program and within a minute's time Nancy said Gary's name 3 x's. She seems really sweet but it does get quite annoying.
