Laughable Moments on QVC

On It — Sun, 16 May 2021 17:11:29 GMT

Sometimes the funniest things happen on live TV. The Q is no exception. Several years ago I was watching Leah's show. She took a call from a lady and all was going well until . . . someone in the lady's household interrupted her. She screamed at the top of her voice, "I'm on the f***ing telephone." Leah was stunned. She said, "I'll let you go take care of whatever is happening" and then the call was disconnected. Susan Graver was the next vendor on air. She came out and mentioned the incident and then couldn't control her laughter. I started laughing out loud with her. I felt so bad for Leah, but it was funny!

@On It My sister told me about this: Many years ago it was nightime here on the west coast, computers or laptops were being sold and the host was taking calls.

One call from an obviously elderly man was fine until he said "I mostly use it to watch porn." Call ended real fast.

A more recent example of funny on air incidents was not that long ago. Jennifer and Susan were doing their show when Pebbles was shown on her back with her legs in the air. Jen asked what's wrong with her. Susan replied she was sleeping. The presentation moved along until time for a promo. When the show resumed Jennifer explained the camera had stayed on and the staff was surrounding the monitors to watch Pebbles. They were laughing and enjoying the moment.

@On It Good old Rosalie from South Jersey! A classic! It always gets recommended to me on YouTube and I watch it everytime. Never gets old! The comment section on there is hilarious.

@On It,

I remember hearing about that!

It is funny, but then kinda sad also.

Then I start wondering what that household is like-yikes!

My favorite moment was years ago with Kathy Levine. Never known for her prowess in the kitchen, she was demonstrating a bread making machine late one night. She carefully added all the ingredients in order, closed the machine and turned it on. Then we heard the most awful loud banging noise that ever came from a kitchen. Sounded like a jet fighter taking off. The look of horror on Kathy's face was priceless. I laughed until tears rolled down my face. She quickly turned it off and of course make a few choice comments.

Albany and a vendor were demonstrating something with stretchability. They were behind a waist high desk or prop of some kind. Each was pulling on an end to show how far it would stretch. Albany suddenly disappeared from sight. Whatever it was slipped out of her hands and down she went.....probably on her butt.

She popped back up and laughed about it. I took a beating on here for saying it was funny.

Youtube when Mike Rowe was a host for QVC. You will see why they never let him off the midnight shift.

I think the Q's funniest moment came when Mike Rowe was a host. He was so irreverent, he made every presentation hysterically funny. He surely didn't take QVC seriously. Watch some of his old videos on YouTube.

I just listened to the one with Leah,

again (youtube) and it really is funny.

I think it is just so surprising-this nice sounding lady talking about Denim and Co and how she likes this brand, conversing with Leah, and all of a sudden in a kind of cackly scratchy voice-"Do you see I'm on the f... phone!

And leah's reaction.

She is just the best!

haha i'm still laughing.

But I still wouldn't want to know that lady.

Who is Pebbles?

I probably haven't been watching as long as some of you, as I only found QVC in 98/99. But one thing that always made me laugh was when Rick and Dave King were in a hallway, wearing lederhosen, and dancing. It was cute and very funny.

Ahhhh! Thank You so much. I was trying to pick up on clues and I didn't get anywhere. But I really haven't watched Susan Graver, at least not for years. I was kind of hoping that Pebbles was a pet and not a person, from the description of the event.

I will, but I still remember Leah having to deal with that like it was yesterday. I forget about using YouTube. I need to check out the others that were mentioned.

This is an oldie. Dan Hughs was demonstrating a clothes steamer and decided to try it on a "tender" spot on the pants he was wearing! His remark after he recovered from the pain was "That is going to leave such a mark!" What a sport!

I remember watching a clothing TSV one time. It was for a big tunic T-shirt -- which came pre-knotted with a little knot with a little tail on it, dangling right in the middle of the front of the hem. Let's just say it was very poorly placed. I can't say what it made everyone wearing it look like, but it sure made me giggle a lot.

The "soap opera" promos for Joan Rivers shows. She and Rick Domier were hilarious. Her models were in on the fun and some other hosts. Priceless!

I remember one night, Mike Rowe, had to present some Christmas gifts for kids. It was the doll that was about 4 feet tall and it had elastic attached to each foot. The child was to put the elastic around each of his/her own feet and pretend you were dancing with the doll.

Leave it to Mike, to put the doll on his own feet and, of course, the doll's head was just about below his belt level. After a few dance spins around the QVC floor, he looks at the doll and says, "sweetheart, let's go outside for a drag."

Watching him was a riot! I miss those QVC days!
