ITKWD

I watched early on this show, and holy cow, host was so hopped on caffeine and talked a mile a minute!!. But once he started tasting the fudge options,it must have increased the fast talking. I lost count on how many times I heard "Oh my word" it made my head spin.

I have noticed that David has changed as a host. He interrupts often and it is rude. While he isn't the only host who does this, his show for me has become less watchable.

By sheer habit I still click over to check out ITKWD. But unlike years ago when I would watch the entire show, I now can only stand a minute or two. The list is long of things I just don't like about David's presentation style. One thing in particular I will note is that he makes comments in a fast, low tone manner and all it sounds like is a bunch of mumbling!!!

This is not extraordinary.

I think David is bored, burned out and very unhappy. It shows in more ways than one. He's a victim of his own success.

I agree. Maybe its retirement time.

@rms1954. Any idea how old he is?

I know he's made connections in the food industry. Too bad he can5 find something else he'd enjoy doing.

@Kachina624, David is 59, turns 60 in November.

Perhaps less burned out and bored than unhappy about how the voices in his ear are telling him to act. I don't think hyper and rude is in his DNA.

@Marp. He ought to be used to the voices in his head and know they come with the territory after close to 30 years.

Since they gave up cooking on his show, he has no outlet for his cooking creativity, which is what got him into this mess. He now mostly just rotely recites colors. What grown man wouldn't be bored?

Hyper and rude is likely not in his DNA but he's certainly summoning it up from somewhere.

He hasn't been the same since his major weight loss. Some people like David, truly love food and I think the job he excelled at for that very reason, now torments him.

His presentations are so repetitive that it's boring to watch. I don't think adding the new host Rachel to his show was a good idea either. She just smiles all wide-eyed and shakes her head to agree with everything being said, but it comes across as an act rather than as someone who's really interested in the products. I think she'd be better off paired with someone else selling something else.

I tried watching them together one time and he beckoned her over like she is a minion of his to taste the product. I couldn’t watch anymore and changed the channel.
I haven’t been able to watch him for years.

I totally agree. It seems forced when he's presenting.

David is continually tell the viewers how he would prepare the food. Let the chefs speak. Finishing their sentences is rude. He gets on my last nerve.

If the item being sold as a TSV comes in colors, that's literally ALL he seems to be focused on these days. So boring. I've noticed some other hosts don't tend to focus on this.

I have to agree. Rachel is a beautiful girl but seems like David's puppet. Actually all his taste testers are the same; taste, make a face like it's the best thing ever, shake their heads in agreement, swallow, describe what sensation they felt, run off the scene. then David exclaims how amazing it is and tells us to hurry because red only has 600 left.

Funny you should write this. I watched Curtis for a bit last weekend and enjoyed him very much. He's a real chef and restauranteur, though, not just a sales guy who cooks dinner at home. I don't think QVC will do a thing to change DV. I think he moves a ton of product. Until that changes, or he quits--ITKWD will hum along as-is.

Rude he is. I stream and took off qvc. I can't literally watch dv any more. You may notice when they talk the host looks at their tv in front of them instead of speaking to us. He nibbles and for a man his age acts quite silly. Don't miss him or the outrageous prices.
