David should check his calendar . The first night of Hanukkah is Dec 7 .

@Traceyz ... David probably asked someone at QVC and they gave him the wrong date. Not his fault !! I'm sure he'd be embarrassed that someone gave him the wrong date! He's a good guy.

Edited to add: It's not on every calendar...

Give the guy a break! 97% of the world doesn't know the date...it changes every year.

I happened to catch that part of his program last night. He did correct himself saying something like...why did you tell me the wrong date?...clearly bothered by the wrong information given in his ear by a producer. Mistakes happen!

It seems to me, that a thirty-year show host should have looked up the date himself, in order to fully prepare for his show. Blaming someone else is unprofessional.

I totally agree that blaming supporting staff publicly was the worst offense.

I'm glad he called out whomever told him wrong.

I noticed it was on my i-pad yesterday. Not being of the Jewish faith, I would not have known the date, except for it appearing on my i-pad. The date does change from year to year, so that makes it hard to track, unless you are following the Jewish faith. Think of the Christian calendar. Easter is on a different date every year. That is confusing to me; I am a member of the Christian faith, but i have always wished that Easter had a set date.

Wow. Nitpick much? And to the person suggesting David do his research before the show????? It was an off-the-cuff comment, nothing to prepare for. Sheesh, get a life!

@Traceyz Maybe you should have waited a bit to give David time to correct the mistake. I have yet to meet someone who is perfect. As others have said, he did correct his mistake.

Mistakes and accidents happen.....there are so many more important things to worry about in this world today.

I do not expect David or anyone else not Jewish to know the correct date of Hanukkah. Hanukkah is actually on the same date every year. The same date on the Hebrew calendar. The current year is 5784. Ancient!

It seems to me that there is always someone ready to call out a host or vendor for something they said that was incorrect. People need to get over the need to criticize others, especially behind a keyboard, and accept the fact that NO ONE IS PERFECT, not even you, New Member.

Love this. No one is perfect and alot of these complainers need to look in the mirror.

Giving the wrong date of a holiday that changes every year is not the end of the world.

There are more important things (and dates) to concern oneself with.

Love it! Get a Life, you New Member you!

As if being "New" means you have no right to comment or make an observation.

Poor David!❤ I did not see the show, but as has been noted, it was an honest mistake.😔 Producers are constantly in their ears stressing key selling points, quantity remaining, etc.😊

He was merely repeating what was relayed to him in the moment, and as has also been noted; quickly corrected his mistake!😊👍

Of all the hosts I have had the pleasure of watching through the years, the loveable Mr. David holds my heart because of his INTEGRITY, wit, and charm!!❤❤ I am certain he felt bad for anyone that might have taken offense to his gaffe!!!😊

~~~All we need is LOVE💖

@paixmcdao I don't think the script is ALL up to David. Give those involved a break. It happens.
