Where has Sam Simmons been?

foodie105 — Tue, 20 Jan 2026 20:29:57 GMT

I work from home and usually have QVC or QVC2 on for background noise. I watch more QVC2 it seems. I always look for Sam Simmons but the last time I've seen her was at least a couple weeks ago and before that probably just as long. She doesn't put anything on her QVC page either. They just don't seem to utilize her. I always see Justin, John and Steve, amongst others and most of them are on the main channel in some capacity as well. Awhile ago on a Sunday morning the main channel had a show called "Rise and Shine with Sam". Rick and Pat, who followed her show congratulated her as it was her first show on the main channel, and ever since then to my knowledge has never been back on the main channel and now seems to rarely be on QVC2. I can't be the only person that likes her!

Enjoy her as a Host with her soft spoken tone .

They gave her all the old discount clothes that weren't selling out as they did with previous QVC Host Stacey Rusch.( Real Housewife of Potomac )

Looks they shoved her aside for promting John as the new face of selling clothes. Maybe he brings new shoppers for womens clothes

Sam was not on the schedule all last week, and the Program Guide does not list her through Feb. 8.

I really like Sam she does a thorough presentation. The last time I watched her on air she appeared to have a very bad cold.

I like her a lot, certainly more than others who appear too regularly. I hope she's not gone.

I really like her too.

@foodie105 I think I saw her present twice. Perfectly nice lady; however, I couldn't understand her clearly and thought there was nothing outstanding about her. She never captured my attention. Hope she achieves all the professional success she deserves on whatever platform awaits her.

I thought I heard her say a week or two ago, that she was going to visit her sister.

The voice of a calm, soothing, reassuring angel.

I enjoy listening to her and watching her shows. no nonsense - and she gives all the info I look for when watching a clothes show. I hope she is not gone. I like watching a female present women's clothes and accessories.

Her lasts video on Facebook was January 7th. She was describing a denim & co jacket. I have always enjoyed her accent. She is pleasant to listen to. Maybe, she is still on vacation. Her photo is still on the Host page.

She did fine when presenting clothing but honestly drove me a little crazy when they had her doing some of the kitchen-related shows on Q2; it was clear she was not well prepared and had very little to say as she just kept repeating herself and having Alberti-style "shock of a lifetime" reactions to every item and possible use suggested by Lisa LaSorte. Overall, she is okay—I neither like nor dislike her work.

@Caaareful Shopper They haven't removed Sam from Meet Our Hosts page yet. I thought she was professional. Certainly better at her job than Adija Scarborough. Adija is lovely but her presentations are a hot mess. Oh well.

Sam and Adija don't make me change the channel, but both are kind of helpless when dealing with somethng non-fashion. Adija was on recently with Bret Hamilton selling TV's, and he likes to riff and go "off script" and she was acting like she had never seen a TV before.

Even with their weaknesses, I strongly prefer those two to the annoying theater kids John, Justin and Steve, who are seemingly on all the time now.

For reasons unknown to us, management has determined that classmates Justin and John should have major shows on Q1, often paired with high profile veteran hosts and even introduce TSVs.

Classmates Avijah and Sam seem to not have garnered similar attention and momentum. Not every new host is cut out for the Q1 job visibility. Relegation to Q2 and the 1-3 am hours are not unusual for some.

Don’t forget Lisa T the ex philosophy rep. She’s a regular on Amy’s Inspired Style.

I can see why John must be boosting sales for The Q !

You come across as a very hateful person.

That poster uses the same "code" relentlessly.

An observant forum reader knows what is being said. They think that they are being clever, but really...not so much.

They have emerged under both identities, pushing the agenda! Hysterical and oh, so theatrically obvious when they respond themselves! Love it!

Maybe she is taking a long vacation like Shawn just did. She might be in the U.K. visiting family.

I like her a lot too, the few times I have seen her she seems very good, and friendly without being silly!

LOL, "annoying theater kids" is the perfect description for those three. I can see Steve fitting in on tiktok, though.

It's always interesting to see who QVC pushes and who they shove in the background. Melissa McGoff is a pretty good host (minus the tattoos) and better than the 3 "theater kids," but is relegated to QVC 2 for some unknown reason.

i think Melissa is a good host, gives all the information. She also has a beautiful singing voice.
