Remember Alex Butler, former host?

I see she is working at news12nj as a reporter. I wish she was still at qvc.

That would be Alex "it's the bomb"..... "i'm dying" Butler.

That was her go to phrase for her presentations.

(like Shawn and her "sidebar")

If I remember correctly, she said something a bit out of line and was gone soon after. I remember thinking to myself that what she said was not something QVC brass was going to like. Darn, if I can remember what it was. To me she was not the typical QVC host.

I was not a fan of hers as a QVC host....wish her the best in her reporter role...

I don't think hosting at the Q was for her. She wasn't very good.

I wonder how hard it is to be taken seriously in the news world if you have been a Q host.

I'm surprised she was ever hired.

I don't say this as a criticism of her, I liked her, she had a cute personality

But she does not fit the mold of a QVC host, not necessarily a bad thing.

Glad she has moved on to bigger better things.

I think that the show host job looks easy when we see them on TV but it's very hard, multi faceted job. Not many people can do it well, it takes a particular skill set. It takes much more than just having a background in TV.

100% . and its very apparent when there is a group of new hosts and you can tell right away who has "it" and who hasn't. not everyone is cut out for it

Like a certain someone who said "hold please". That phrase got picked up by a few other hosts for a while there.
