Jill Bauer Getting Another Today Show Segment

Lipstickdiva — Tue, 22 Oct 2019 13:18:21 GMT

Jill hosted a FB Chat one evening last week and announced that The Today show has asked her back to do another segment. As of right now she is not sure when that segment will air. During the chat she indicated that the show picks the topics for her.

The next topic will be about small appliances that you don't use because you don't know what to do with them, like an Instapot, air fryer, etc. Again people are supposed to submit a very short video asking what to do with whatever appliance you don't use. Jill said she is not in on the process of picking who is chosen for these segments.

As an aside, did anyone else see the chat? Leanne was giving Jill viewer questions asked during the chat and Jill was answering them. Someone on another board said that Jill must not have realized she was still live and Leanne said people wanted to know if she keeps in touch with Lisa Mason and that Jill made a really rude comment. I didn't hear this at all. I never saw a comment made about LM nor did I hear Leanne ask any question. Wondering if someone misheard something. Not sure why anyone would bring up LM, she's not been a host in a very long time.

@Lipstickdiva I'm very happy for Jill. I thought she did a great job on the last segment. I doubt it's true about Lisa Mason, especially since you didn't hear it. She's sort of a random person to ask about since she hasn't been there in so long.

Shows new topic - should be helpful to some - just suggest it not go on and on and on like the refrigerator gig did. After the 4th messy refrigerator and Jill's sing-song blah blah..........my eyes glazed over & head started to 'swim'.

Maybe it will be organizing your sock drawer.

And Here We Go!

Those wishing and hoping for Jill to fail now have a second opportunity.

That refrigerator segment was all of 5 and a half minutes.

If they asked her back to do another segment, she must have done really well!

Even though the Today Show picks the topics and the videos, Jill will in some way still be criticized.

Good for Jill. None of these segments are of interest to me--and to be fair I am not a fan of the Today show. But I think it's great that Jill is getting to fulfill a dream of hers. 5 minutes segments can turn into more and she's only 51 so she has a full 2nd career ahead if she wants. She's looking great and seems interested in continuing her QVC fan base.

Jill was never my favorite host--but there's no reason to not wish her well. Her success or failure doesn't impact any of our lives..so why not just wish her well!

I'm not surprised that Today wants her back. She nailed that first segment. She was excellent. Easy going, warm, approachable and she gave some excellent tips. I don't believe that Jill said anything rude about Lisa Mason. You didn't hear it yourself so I don't know why you would bring it up.

There's something to admire about Jill quitting her day job to try something new. She seems excited about it, so who are we to rain on her parade? If the Today Show wants me to present a 5 minute segment on smelly socks, I'd do it in a heartbeat! #GOJILL!!

I listened to Jill's chat and heard no reference to Lisa Mason, by Jill or her assistant. The entire chat was very upbeat.

@Lipstickdiva

If that comment was made about Lisa Mason it seems a very odd choice to bring up (unless this person was concerned about how LM was doing after her husband's death)..But I wonder if they mispoke and meant Lisa ROBERTSON because of her business selling decor and she also had her own decorating shows on QVC very different from Jills....Maybe they were wondering if Jill would ever consider starting a business similar to Lisa Robertsons..... But Jill seems to be leaning away from the headaches of starting her own decor business and instead demonstrating household tips and hints...and maybe her partnership with Today will evolve into something more for her in the future....like it did for Jill Martin on Today....

I wish Jill Bauer well....she was always well prepared for her QVC shows.......which seems to be sorely lacking these days at QVC....

OT: You're knowledgeable and helpful. For example while searching through topics on Christmas trees came across exactly the needed information.

Good for Jill! She seems like a real go getter to me, and this sounds perfect for her. I am happy she is realizing one of her "dreams".....I follow her on Facebook, but I am not on real often....I am happy for her.....

I don't watch the Today show, but if someone posts when Jill will be on again I will watch that day.

@lynne6was7, I thought so too. As soon as she said bye, I left so I thought maybe something happened after that.

In fact, I had to laugh at the problems she had with the chat. First she was sideways, then upside down. Then the dogs heavy breathing and licking. LOL

She did so well on that first segment. I'm not surprised they asked her back. Won't be surprised if she becomes a "regular" of sorts in the near future. She has such great camera presence. Go Jill!!!!!
