Host Linquist?

Slatinte — Mon, 27 Jan 2025 04:18:27 GMT

I admit, I rarely tune into QVC anymore, but I did read that Kirstin Linquist was leaving QVC? Stating that "Next Saturday, 12/28, will be my final Saturday Morning Q. But you will see me a few more times in January/February for health and wellness shows." So why is she still hosting shows, like Sketchers shoes, Susan Graver,, etc, etc. Did I miss something?

@Slatinte. She has taken every possible opportunity to self promote her new health related venture (whatever it is) so that's what she mentions but she's presenting whatever.

Hosts come and hosts go.

Their contracts and what they can say on air are between them and the QVC management.

There is entirely too much attention given to the actions of hosts on this forum.

Is is probably good for one's mental health to try to find some activities that put YOU, the viewer, at the forefront, not salespeople on a shopping channel.

By the way, I really like Kerstin, she is in great physical shape, and she seems to have her life together. I wish her all the best in her new ventures!

Qvc studios has had a lot of flu etc. Issues. She probably has been filling in.

@Slatinte - She stopped doing the Sat Morn shows on 12/28 and Ali took her place with Alberti.

She is still hosting and her last show will be in February. There is a going-away show for her in Feb also.

I wonder if any of her new "endeavours" pay a salary? Seems like she goes on several big vacations every year. Very expensive for a family of five.

@wagirl She's been talking about her exit for months, LOL! That's probably why some people thought she left already. Seems she had to announce when Jen announced hers. Anyway if you want to tune it I believe her farewell show is Feb 6th. I won't be watching.

On a recent podcast (not hers, another person's,) she claimed she was "the number one host having the number one show" on QVC. I think David Venable and a few others might beg to differ.

She also was promoting herself as a health coach and sharing all the things she does with her clients that she is not legally supposed to be doing, according to the scope of practice of a health coach. QVC is smart to be rid of her. She's a lawsuit waiting to happen.
