I think thats Mike Rowe many years ago. He was absolutely irreverant. He was a hoot to watch!!

I don't know if Jonnysbro's will guess the woman to the left correctly (just kidding Jonnysbro), but the one on the right is QVC's little birdie who has the inside scoop on who is retiring or being replaced, according to herself, being Antonella Nester.

The good ole days when Antonella looked like a pretty Italian before the radical change to blonde, which looks horrendous and sticks out like a sore thumb. I PRAY its a wig and someone like her who has gone thru multiple cancer treatments isn't bleaching her hair constantly. I always have wondered that. Does anyone know know if its a wig, which there is nothing wrong if it is, but I hope for her health sake its a wig and not her bleaching it constantly.

I remember Mike did a lot of overnight shows and always looked like he'd rather be somewhere else. He did go on to do pretty well for himself though.

Mike Rowe is also an accomplished opera singer. He is a native Marylander, grew up in the same area as Amy Stran.

@Estellee Oh, yes...I love Mike Rowe's foundation to endorse and support vocational training for students as an alternative to liberal arts colleges.

Does anyone remember Jeffrey Hewsom -- think that's how he spelled his name. He did a Saturday night Gold show which we watched faithfully -- we didn't watch for the gold -- he was so good looking. His model was Candy. Those were the days.

UpNorthGorgy — Wed, 26 Nov 2025 23:13:21 GMT

@coffee drinker. And he preferred Jeffrey and made it clear with a.... "Thankyou for the Jeffrey." Didn't he marry Judy Crowell but the marriage didnt last long? I recall she loved Irises

@UpNorthGorgy Yes, he did marry Judy Crowell and yes, it didn't last long.

I believe that Antonella colored her hair that horrible bonde, and that was the beginning of her downfall at QVC. So, she did that BEFORE she was fired. Even if she did lose some through chemo, her natural color was lovely with her complexion. I have no idea why she still colors it that way, other than she must like it.

She was always insecure when she was on the air, but once she went blonde, she went totally off the rails. I think that was also around the time there was a rumored poll that went out to some people about hosts, and I think she was specifically mentioned. I don't blame her for worrying about that, but she was never the same.
