Do we know who is closing QVC ?

What host is on the air before they go to tapes programming for Christmas ?

years ago, Steve Bryant would volunteer to "close" QVC because he was a bachelor who lived alone. He would bring his dog Mandy on air and would read a Christmas story to everyone. It was a nice way to end the frantic shopping season. QVC now will probably "sell" right up til closing time.

"Jane's Closet" with Jane Rudolph Treacy. "Rudolph" is appropriate for Christmas Eve, but Jane will probably take the day off.

My cable guide says the last show is "Jane's Closet," so maybe It's Jane.

I'll be tuned in, it's a tradition of mine to watch the closing ceremony then the taped programming. I leave it on as background noise all through the night and day, and only Change the channel to the annual "Yule Log" on the Hallmark mystery Movie channel which has the cutest dogs and cats in front of the fire.

Although I came to QVC after Bryant had left (I assume that because I have no memory of him), his Christmas Eve stint did a good thing for others but also for him. People who live alone really need to do what Bryant did and find a tradition for holidays that makes them a part of something bigger than themselves. Sorry I missed "knowing" him.

If it's Jane, her daughters may join her.

@QVCkitty1

That was the best.

Didn't they used to sell a teacup and book or something when she did the presentation?

Those were the days when I watched, shopped AND enjoyed QVC.

The only closing I remember watching was with Lisa Mason and her husband, Gino. The only thing I remember from QVC's Christmas programming was Sally Coones and her mother baking in the kitchen. They were wonderful together.

I've been with QVC since the beginning and enjoy reminiscing about the hosts through the years. Is there a complete list of hosts somewhere? Others in the beginning was Bob B, Judy C, Jeffrey H, Kathy L, along with Mary Beth, Jill B, Jane T, David V, Dan W, Dan H. I sure can't remember like I did but always enjoyed the Christmas programs.

I remember Jill at least in the last few years would usually be the last host before they signed off for Christmas.

Guess she is taking a break this year.

She may be getting time and a half. Many companies pay their workers extra for working on Holidays.

Jane keeps hinting a "special guest is waiting in the wings". I have to wonder who it could be ?

The sign off with Kathy and The Cup of English Tea was beautiful. I too cried from that. Those days are lost now. The Millenials have taken over. The oold days were the best. It might have been al about the bottom dollar, but it did no come across that way as it does now
