Isaac Mizrahi

Watching (not listening) to Isaac on QVC 1 this morning. I like his clothes and along with Denim and Co. buy some of his things.

The man is so completely ADHD I have to turn off the sound. He must exhaust the hosts he works with. LOL They have to fight him for air time to present his pieces.

I can just imagine him as a child in school back in the day...........probably above average intelligence but drove the teachers crazy.

I'm sure it has gotten him to where he is today - he is driven.

I do like him though and watch his shows whenever I can on mute.

@marlenegardner I doubt the ADHD part but I do think Isaac is very intelligent and creative. I don't know how he keeps his sanity hawking the same boring tee shirts week after week with the same boring hosts that parrot the same trite explatives. Yet he does so with such good humor.

My son and I follow him on social. We enjoy seeing him cook in his kitchen with his guests.

i found the pairing (which i believe is her first) with Julia a bad choice. They were both talking at the same time while Isaac trying to talk about the item and she's mindlessly repeating colors and how many they have.

I adore Isaac. He is a real designer, unlike some of the celebrities QVC has hawking clothes. I found Julia just talked over him, I would like to hear what he has to say, not her.

I do! I'd buy a book of them in a second! I have a vague memory of a few years ago, Isaac would draw a sketch on set, I'd love to have one of those.

Didn't he used to have his own TV show years ago? Seems like I remember seeing him on another channel on a talk show type thing.

I'm pretty sure the hosts are trained NOT to let the guest take over the segment. They have important facts that need to be presented and some of the guests can definitely go off on a tangent. Some of the hosts are better than others at "controling Isaac" but this morning made my head hurt with both host and guest talking over each other. It tickles me though and I would never stop watching because of it. I'm old and grouchy so maybe it bothers me more than others :-)

@RollTide2008

Oh I wholeheartedly agree! My daughter got me started watching his cooking segments and they are truly entertaining.
Yes, he's scattered and messy and neurotic in the kitchen, and that's part of his charm. He's always making something delicious, but sometimes it's a hilarious epic fail! (And he forgets ingredients too.)
He had Iman on and she was a hoot as well.

Yes he did .. and always did a sketch on air ... I loved it ...

Where would I find his cooking his cooking show? I think I could tolerate Isaac on his own rather than working with another. Sounds like when Julia Childs dropped the turkey on the floor and said something like "Nevermind, you're alone in the kitchen".

pupwhipped — Mon, 24 Apr 2023 17:22:44 GMT

I haven't been able to watch him for more then a couple minutes in years....cannot do it!

Every host has to talk over him otherwise they would never get to say one word. He's either talking or constantly mumbling in the background and saying absolutely nothing of any real value or importance whatsoever.

AMAZING! 😲

I adore Isaac. He reminds me of NYC where I live and some wonderful and creative people I know. He's an icon here.

@Kachina624 He does what most of us have to do--our jobs. Only he makes a boatload of money for a boring job. Must be difficult. Sigh.
