Shop HQ - hosts

Suneshine — Tue, 07 Nov 2023 11:42:18 GMT

Noticed on the Shop HQ website that only nine hosts are listed. I swore that they had quite a few more at one time.

My cable company deleted Shop HQ, what they replaced it with is horrible.

@Suneshine

I did find a news article from 2010 that said ShopNBC had 20 Hosts at one time but let go of Charla Rines and Mike Davidson around 2009 , which left 18 Hosts. Then Pam & Wes MCCoy left abt 2010 .

Since 2000,when it was ShopNBC , I don't remember them having many more used to be Pamela & Wes MCCoy , Kendy Kloepfer, Lynne Schacher, Mike Lindell , Charla Rines , Laura Duffek ,who mostly did the linensand Connie Kunkle who died in 2016 . Then the last 3 I mentioned left and they brought on Daniel Green as a Host who used to be a guest Chef on their cooking shows. There was another lady , Wendy , who had blonde hair as a Host who is now the Italian gold plated jewelry rep. Melissa Minor was brought on maybe abt the same time . 2017 , Host Jennifer Kline, faormer Ms Minnosota was arrested for a felony theft crime .

The lady Kathy who now is a Rep for MacKenzie Childs was a former Host . Recently , another lady Host left and was on QVC as a Rep for some item.

Yes, I believe the number of hosts has steadily declined.

Although there are other ways to watch, I can't help but feel their bottom line will be affected as Comcast no longer carries ShopHQ. I hope the channel can continue for the sake of all those employed there.

@skatting44 was it Allison Waggoner? I was watching SHQ when she was there.

I only know a few faces, because all I watch on ShopHQ is the gold. Otherwise I have no idea. I certainly don't know their names. Their clothes look a little tacky. The ceramics and other products seem boring. Oh and the watches....I felt almost ill looking at them. Hours and hours of the stuff. At least QVC has some variety! I thought Invicta bankrolled them!

LOL - I only came across ShopHQ once, while I was flipping through channels.

It stated 'Indigo Thread Fashions' was on, so I tuned in to watch because I have bought a few of their items and was pleased with them.

But it wasn't Indigo Thread, they were showing something else, so that was the end of ShopHQ for me!

I don't think they are doing too well.

I agree about Aaron. I rarely watch any of the shopping channels for any length of time but at least none of the above is an instant channel changer for me unlike another shopping channel I could mention--LOL!

I like the Christopher & Banks line and OSO Casuals. They should do something about their s/h which is way out of line.

I don't watch very often but Anuschka handbags has come back so I watch those shows.

@Suneshine @kaydee50

I to enjoy Aaron when he does the fragrances, purses and MacKenzieechilds . My other fav is Fatima Cocci , she is excellent when presenting jewelry . Agree atleast when I tune into ShopHq to see what is being offered, I don't turn it off instantly or mute it because of the Hosts behavior and lack of information about the product.

@skatting44 I caught Aaron when he was doing Isomers. Never really watched their presentations but he was so intelligent and easy to watch and let the vendor do the talking--what an idea!!!--I actually got interested in the product.

Aaron is proof that it isn't necessary to sing, dance, do skits, dress up in costumes, speed talk, talk over vendors and other hosts, scream, get up close to the camera to be cute, talk about family members, tell stories totally unrelated to the product...well...I could go on...but you get it!

Mike Lindell is the My Pillow guy I dont think he was ever a ShopHQ host.

Re: Shop HQ - hosts

SHQ often airs reruns throughout the day and prime evening hours, that is how they can survive with only 9 hosts.

Oboy, glad this isn't a serious quiz! The ONLY names I'm familiar with at ShopHQ are Kendy .... and Ryan from Invicta! lol

Re: Shop HQ - hosts

kaydee50 — Tue, 07 Nov 2023 23:45:51 GMT

@Shelbelle I had forgotten that Sarah Anderson was originally on ShopHQ. She is one of my favorites and fortunately on HSN.

Used to love Brian Kessler with Jorge and the Waterford shows. They were great together, IMO.

Isn't Laura a rep for one of the shoe companies on QVC??

And Kimberly Wells is gone but is also a rep for Jambu??

@Shelbelle

He definitely worked at ShopNBC around 2005 or 2006

He wore the neck chain with a gold cross pendant

He mostly did the linen shows
