The new guy host

songbird — Thu, 14 Nov 2024 23:00:03 GMT

I was home today and while flipping channels I found an Isaac show today hosted by a new host. He spoke well, and seemed comfortable in front of the camera. The man said he was a former actor. I had the impresson this was his first show. He was nice looking with dark hair. Anyone catch his name? He hosted today's show 11/14/24

John did a fantastic job! He's a natural and a welcome addition to the Q!

I can't remember if he was on QVC or QVC2. He WAS very good. Yes, that was the host I saw.

I haven't seen him yet @songbird . That's great that he's doing a good job.

He said on-air that he has a BFA degree in musical theater.

Haven't seen him as yet. Hope he has a calm smooth voice.

Lately, many of the female Hosts are constantly over accentuating the word " And " with loud nasal tones . At first it was mainly Sandra & Monifa & Mary D .

Becomes annoying.

Another reason to mute the TV

I've seen a number of female hosts who are apparently new too. I've never seen them before, don't know who they are, they just pop up on Q2 and Q3. I've looked at photos in the meet hosts and see faces and names I've never seen - or maybe I have and don't know it.

I watched his two hour show with Jacqui yesterday and agree he did a great job. He was pleasant , gave a lot of details and did not talk over Jacqui.

It was a nice change, no screeching, just a calm presentation.

Thought you were talking about Justin ... he's perfect for QVC, soft spoken, knowledgeable. Have not seen John yet, but WOW after seeing his photo, I'll be watching-!

These males hosts are terrific! Smooth in delivery and volume, prepared and know their products (no "speak to me about this . . . "), politely engaged with others in conversations, NO interruptions!, not self-absorbed with the camera, and talented. They are a joy to watch and/or listen to for the entire hour! It's been a very long time since I've been able to do that (or wanted to do so).

Steve remains one of my favorites, an outstanding host, but these men may also have an open door when Mary Beth, Leah and others retire!

I look forward to watching Steve, and these new men, rise at QVC rather than the Over 50 females who have run amuck with drama, noise and name-dropping in 2024.
Ali Carr tries to maintain a calm demeanor and usually does, but QVC's management seems to pressure long-time hosts to perform louder and obnoxious behavior. PS: It's not conducive for viewers to buy more!

John's musical credentials in regional theater are quite robust: Jersey Boys, Beautiful, Tina the Musical, Grease, Hairspray and more.

He even won a singing competition on The Kelly Clarkson Show two years ago.

I hope that QVC showcases his singing talent on air very soon!

@They CallMe MRWILKES They did. John sang during that Christmas Weekend where QVC was live for 53 hours. It was on their Livestream. John, Melissa, and Julia all sang (separately) Christmas songs. It was part of a contest. Harry Slatkin and Kathy Levin had to pick the winner. Of course they decided they all won. It was fun.

It would be really nice if QVC did a Christmas concert video and put it up on their QVC+/HSN+ channel.

I read about the singing competition but didn't see it.

Those opposed to the concept of "shoppable entertainment" must be (or will be) horrified!

@Estellee Yes, they both said they've sung all over the world in their past experience. I didn't know Julia sang. Melissa has sung before on her social media, and snipets in a couple of her QVC shows. Gorgeous voice.
