    <description>&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT size="3" color="#000080"&gt;I posted this several years ago, and I still feel the same way.&amp;nbsp; I saw an online chat with former QVC host Paul Kelly.&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;I think his careful and respectful... but cogent and informative...&amp;nbsp; brief comments on the change in the atmosphere and the selling style/culture at QVC said a lot about changes some of us who have watched off and on over lots of years have seen or sensed.&amp;nbsp; &lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT size="3" color="#000080"&gt;The interesting thing is that he made those observations in 2020, and we continue to see those changes right now.&amp;nbsp; (I'll try to find the video and share it if it's still available.)&amp;nbsp; &lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT size="3" color="#000080"&gt;It's a different world from the original QVC days, and the pressures are significant.&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT size="3" color="#000080"&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;I've always liked&lt;SPAN&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;SPAN class=""&gt;Rick&lt;/SPAN&gt;, still do.&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;FONT size="3" color="#000080"&gt;I can understand that his energy and ebullience can overflow and overwhelm at times so it's not everyone's cuppa tea, but I enjoy his presentations.😉&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT size="3" color="#000080"&gt;I found this video with&lt;SPAN&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;SPAN class=""&gt;Rick&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/SPAN&gt;to be worth watching.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT size="3" color="#000080"&gt;Perhaps a different side of the host, a side we don't have the opportunity to see when the sales tote boards and anxious production staff are directing the action.&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT size="3" color="#000080"&gt;(just search for the video title if you prefer not to click on links)&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT size="3" color="#000000"&gt;"&lt;STRONG&gt;Getting Real | About Empty Nesting |&lt;SPAN&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;SPAN class=""&gt;Rick&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/SPAN&gt;Domeier&lt;/STRONG&gt;"&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT color="#0000FF"&gt;&lt;EM&gt;&lt;FONT size="3"&gt;&lt;A class="" href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NJ7Vxzs7t1w" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow noreferrer"&gt;https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NJ7Vxzs7t1w&lt;/A&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/EM&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;They laid the right one off.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Much of Rick's genius is that he knows it's a joke.&amp;nbsp; And he lets the viewer in on the joke, knowing that he knows it's a joke.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Dan could never be that clever.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Go Rick!&amp;nbsp; The Best!&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>Huge Rick fan here. Sure, he sometimes gets carried away with his enthusiasm. But I have been watching him since he started at QVC - a mere child! - and he represents his employer well at all times. He always does his homework and is well prepared. He gives it his best, whether it is a $5 piece of kitchenware or a $2,000 piece of jewelry. I always enjoy watching him.&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;Frankly, I feel exactly the opposite about JT. We are free to avoid or watch whomever we please, so if Rick is not your cup of tea, do as I do when I see JT and change that channel! We can always go online if we are interested in what is being sold during that time frame and do our ordering there - on mute.</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT size="4"&gt;When I see him I mute the audio or change channel.&amp;nbsp; I think my heart starts beating too fast when he is on.&amp;nbsp; I hope that is just his sales personality and not his regular way of being.&amp;nbsp; Just too much...&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT size="4"&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;I love watching Rick. &amp;nbsp;He doesn't bore me and he is great with the vendors, especially Valerie. &amp;nbsp;&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT size="4"&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;He also has a great sense of humor. &amp;nbsp;&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT size="4"&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;I remember when his wife went into labor with one of his sons while he was on the air....He sure was hyper then and ran out of the studio to be with her.&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;</description>
