Former Host

PINKdogWOOD — Fri, 30 Aug 2024 12:40:16 GMT

I spot former hosts doing other jobs since they left here, one of which is Gabriella Kerr. Yesterday I saw here on CBS News on the morning show. She's doing CBS Deals selling different items. I saw her face and knew I'd seen here elsewhere then it dawned on me who she is. Still looking very pretty.

I liked her too. Hope she does well. Not sure why/when she left. I really don't watch much programming anymore, just the videos for things that interest me.

Gabrielle was let go in a very large Qurate staff reduction (about 450) in July 2020.

Other hosts terminated on the same date were Antonella, Stacey Stauffer and Kristine Zell.

@NYCLatinaMe

I think Gabrielle was in the fairly large group (5 ?) of hosts that were let go at once, I believe Stacy Stauffer was in that group too.

I enjoyed Gabrielle. I thought she got off to a shaky start but morphed into a very likable and competent host.

I really liked Gabrielle a lot too. She was so full of energy and always smiling. Seems like such a sweet person!

Yes, I've seen her a few times doing that. It seems to be a regular gig. She's good at it. I'm happy for her. She and her family have been doing work on social media sites for various national brands for a while.

@PINKdogWOOD Yes. Gabrielle has done quite a few gigs selling on TV, Youtube, Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok.

After being laid off from QVC, one of Gabrielle's very first new jobs was (and still is) working for Lug, selling their handbags & luggage strictly on Lug's social media pages, as well as Gabrielle's own social media pages.

Plus, Gabrielle teams up with her husband and promotes several hotels and destinations in the Phili area with some very cool ads.

I'm sure all former hosts get another job after leaving QVC. How else would they provide for themselves or their families? Unless they retire they of course would seek other work opportunities.

Gabrielle also has been doing LugLives on their app, for over a year now. She does very well there, and is one of their best presenters. Her QVC training comes through...she's clear, articulate, knows how to communicate all the important product details, rather than just pure sales schtick that many of the others on LugLive rely on.

I like watching and, occasionally, buying from her there.

Missed Gabriella a lot. She was such a good host.
Was past-time for Ms. Zell, who never seemed to get the "it fit" as a host. And time for Antonella, also, who was sick and struggling with so much.

Glad Gabriella and her family are happy and doing so well professionally.
Have seen Stacey Stauffer as a Rep. on QVC a couple of times. (ETA)

Sending best wishes to Christine Zell and Antonella Nester.

@amyb

I also like Gabrielle on the Lug Live app. She's the best on there & agree her Q training & professionalism shows.

@PINKdogWOOD I always thought Gabrielle Kerr was one of QVC's best hosts! I was shocked when she was let go (I felt the same way about HSN letting Leslie Anne Machado go). Am glad she re-surfaced on a local station.

@They CallMe MRWILKES All great hosts and then many more actually.

Re: Former Host

Very good! @Caaareful Shopper How great that she nor her husband never let the grass just grow under their feet.

I really enjoyed the morning show that Gabrielle had with Katie McGee for a brief period.

And then Katie was let go, separately.
