I haven't seen him on for a while. Today I noticed that two of the products he usually represents (bone broth & coconut patties) were presented by others. I enjoy him, and hope he's all right.

Maybe he is taking some vacation time since Mary didn't have her cooking show this morning and David's show tonight is all cleaning products? I can't remember if he was on Julia's show on Saturday because I fast-forwarded through most of it, but I'm almost certain he was on ITKWD last week. I definitely have seen him on air a few times over the past couple of weeks.

And FWIW, sometimes the vendors change their "brand ambassadors." It seems like Mark Charles and Jen Kovich present more items than everyone else, so perhaps somebody decided to take an item or two off Mark Charles' list.

I did see him on recently, but can't remember which day. I believe he was on with David.

I saw him recently (can't recall what day). He was pitching Henning Lee... I remember him because he's one of the few I enjoy anymore.

Now You're Cooking Day is next Wednesday, so all the current cooking and dining guests should be on-air.

@Spacrazy. Henning Lee is being presented right now with a woman named Amy presenting. She also presented another product earlier.

@spabar - Over the past couple of months, I've seen Henning Lee presented by Mark Charles, Jeremy Parker, Jessie Holiva, and even the QVC hosts without any vendor presence. I don't know of an "Amy" (not watching the show right now), but it seems that brand is not assigned to a single representative.

If you click into the listing for the glass countertop set, it currently features the demo by Mark Charles from Alberti's guest hosting spot on ITKWD two Sundays ago (though they may replace it with this evening's presentation later tonight):

@loriqvc I was watching the presentations, but didn't catch her last name. I think there were 3 items tonight.

There's a rumor that he's out at the Q for something - no one knows what. Someone asked David where he was in Coffee Talk, and he kind of froze up, and then said, "I don't know, don't know. Maybe ask him on his socials." So something is amiss.

His LinkedIn profile indicates that he is "open to work," and under Experience, it shows that his role as "On air personality on QVC..." ended in August.

@NewerNickname Thank you. I had a feeling something wasn't right. 😔

WOW, this is very shocking to say the least. I believe,Mark Charles has been there for almost a quarter of a century, since early 2000's! I remember him talking about some anniversary milestone of his time at QVC during a show within the past year or so.

It must of been some huge NO NO or violation in the workspace for someone of that status and tenure to get canned. That is a shame, as I always enjoyed him.

@QVCTVSpree You're so right about it being a long time. He was with his company, as an on air brand rep for QVC products for 24 years and 5 months. He celebrated his 24th anniversary in his social media posts this past April.

Re: MarkCharles Misilli

QVCTVSpree — Fri, 12 Sep 2025 19:16:34 GMT

@Caaareful Shopper YES, I recall Mark just speaking about it on air. What a shame and must of been something very serious for him to lose all his spokesperson jobs under the QVC umbrella. I can't imagine what Mark could of done to violate such terms.

I wonder if David Venable was truly acting shocked when the Coffee Talk guest asked the ? about Mark or I wonder if David already knew what really happened.

Theres no way to verify if its true but on one of the QVC related subreddits someone said that he was bad mouthing the vendor rep company CEO on internal company emails with another employee. They way they worded it sounded like it wasn't just once or twice but it was going on for a while.

@tmbdp2001 Thank You for this info and this makes much more sense as to how he could be relieved of his duties after a quarter of a century working at the Q.

It is also not unusual that when a company is struggling financially, the more expensive aka experienced people go first and the younger, cheaper people come in.

The Reddit revelations are explosive.

Definitely a cautionary tale about being very, very circumspect with emails. Particularly in a workplace setting. It can always come back to bite you.
