oops momments on qvc

webbgarner1 — Sun, 21 Jan 2018 00:01:28 GMT

What are some of the funniest oops, bloopers or mistakes you have seen on qvc live? I saw one today during the demonstration of the shark vacume. The rep was vacuming up simulated hair and dust with the tiny detailing wand and a glob of that stuff got stuck in the tiny wand. She said if it gets sucked in there and stuck just pull it out. She pulled the" hair" from the tip of the wand but you could see it was still stuck inside, clogged. They cut away from the vacume to another shot as she laid the vacume down and moved on.

I saw Suzzanne Sommers and a host making some smoothies that was a total fail. Suzzanne said we failed at that one, I do not think we put all the liuid in. Love Suzzanne though.

QVC is live tv and things will happen, just like in everyone's life and every job. I do not see a reason to discuss things that can be out of someone's control.

The only oops moments I’ve seen have actually just been stange noises in the background.....like when someone drops something off camera and it makes a loud noise. I’m always surprised that there aren’t more accidents/bloopers - given that it’s live TV 24/7.

Eons ago Mike Rowe (love that guy!) was doing a computer show in the evening (west coast) so later night where the Q is. An elderly man called in and said he used his computer mostly for watching porn! I thought MIke was gonna lose it, but it was actually hilarious.

Not a "mistake", so to speak, but one time my sister called me to look, and, sure enough, there was a cockroach crawling around on the set (it was a food show).

I know it's live, and all that, but we did chuckle a bit.

There are some real funny moments on you tube.

It is wonderful to laugh!

@SXMGirl

Because they are funny and some of us like a good laugh. Even the hosts involve laugh and QVC used to regulary share a Blooper Reel.............

It wasn't Mike Rowe it was Rick presenting a Dell computer late at night and the guy called in about the "naughty movies"....it's on You Tube..... But Mike Rowe's presentations are priceless and hilarious they are also on You Tube....

I dont know if the Moderators would allow a posting of the you tube link due to the caller's topic.....

The one I remember wasn't funny at all, it was quite upsetting. LR was showing a ladder and the guy that climbed up to the top of the extension ladder fell off. The camera stayed on him way too long and he wasn't moving. They cut away to Lisa and she was stunned. She kept asking if he was alright. While they had the camera on her the other people there were able to get to him and help him up and off the stage. Lisa finally said he was okay. Not something I want to see again. He really could have been injured badly.

The one that was recent is when a caller was with Leah on AM Style and someone in her house interrupted her to ask a question while she was on the phone with QVC....and the caller said "Can you see I am on the F phone"..........Leah just said yes it is live TV.

There was one with Bob Bowersox demonstrating a can opener and the caller said he had a mouse problem and the mouse crawled on top of a can he was opening with his old can opener and the mous fell into the can, so he had to get the Lid Lifter Can Opener that Bob was demonstrating...Bob totally ignored what the caller had said and went on demonstrating opening cans.....

There was a Hot In Hollywood one where the vendor asked Shawn if she was bored.(Shawn looked disinterested)..and Shawn sarcastically replied, I was just waiting for you to take a breath so I could ask my producer to order this one for me in a size 2 in tall........

There was one with Dan Wheeler & Oscar demonstrating the Amazon Echo and they were playing a spelling game with Echo and Echo asked Dan to spell words: climb, Dan spelled correctly and Echo said it was wrong, then Dan was asked to spell dinner, Dan spelled it correctly and Echo said he was wrong again.....LOL!

Didn't Mike Rowe pass gas while demonstrating an excercie machine back in the day ?

There is one that always comes to my mind. This was so, soooooo long ago. Sweet Mary Beth was presenting a spoon or something. That doesn't sound right...spoon??? I can't remember the item exactly, yet I can clearly see the scene in my mind. Ha! But it was something she had in her hand saying how durable it was and she banged and banged it and it literally broke into pieces. Of course MB handled it like a trooper. She laughed, recovered, and moved on. God Love Her!

My favorite was when Kathy Levine, not known for her cooking skills, was demonstrating a bread machine. She carefully loaded all the ingredients that had been laid out for her. She then turned the machine on. It made the most God-awful racket imaginable. She had a look of pure horror on her face. Apparently someone had left a metal part that should have been removed, in the machine.

The most recent one was when the Hallmark rep was putting those self-lighting Christmas trees together. The top half wouldn't light. She was a pro and moved on.

I never understood why someone as polished as Kathy Levine never learned to cook. Coming from a Jewish family especially. She claimed she ate out 7 nights a week. I do believe she married late in life to a pilot. Perhaps he Is the cook in the house. It's awfully expensive dining out every night and frankly boring. I would miss home cooked meals.

One time Jayne was putting on a stretch bracelet and it broke while she was sliding it on her wrist.

@SXMGirl good grief, lighten up, we all know it is live tv. That is waht makes it funny when things do happen, . For goodness sakes it is not rocket science, it is a shopping channel. When I see comments like this, I think of the title of kathy levines book" It is better to laugh".

I have read many posts that I am not particularly interested in but I do not feel some uncontrollable desire to try to insult someone over it. I have written on this forum before, if we can not converse politley hear, see each others opinions, agree to disagree, have dialogue and discussions, then what is the point in having the forum.

Have a truly good day, I wish no one any harm. Just thought it may be a little humorous.

I have seen bloopers on live news prgrams etc, they can be amusing.

I bet that was a priceless moment. Loved Kathy Levine.

LOL!!!!

Mike Rowe was before my time, my cable co didnt carry it back then, but someone directed me to You Tube and some of Mike's presentations and they are hilarious....After he left QVC he had a TV show and they had him re-live and present once again some of the products that were his most hilarious moments....a doll comes to mind.... so funny!
