HSN host walking around with coffee

mjmm — Sat, 22 Mar 2025 12:48:04 GMT

This morning Saturday on HSN the new host is walking around with her coffee. Seems unprofessional or like she's hooked. Valerie Stup does that as well.

@mjmm Hmm, I really don't see a problem with this. I've watched the shopping channels for many many years. Someone is always drinking something, or at the least, carrying a cup with their logo on it. No biggie.

Unprofessional? They're doing what management tells them to do. See the HSN logo on the cup?

I've watched two of her presentations this morning while holding the cup. Hooked?? She has barely taken a sip from it. So it's not the coffee, it's setting the mood.

I've seen this done often, in the morning shows especially. It's their way of mirroring the morning ritual that many viewers are probably doing. Enjoy your coffee while watching & shopping. It's all sales.

@mjmm I don't know if we're talking about the same host, but there is an HSN host who I notice carries her coffee mug constantly. Maybe she works on weekdays. I just tuned into HSN and I don't see her.

To me the weekends seem to be a bit more relaxed with jeans and coffee cups live on-air.

Hosts have been carrying around coffee since the dawn of home shopping.

I don't get how holding a cup of coffee makes a shopping host unprofessional. If someone wants me to change my mind, they need to explain with some detail what she wasn't doing that is expected of that host.

As long as they're doing their job properly, what does it matter. All that talking wears on the throat. Maybe it's tea like I drink, or just water. Also could be a prop as others have said.

@mjmm This sounds like looking for something to complain about. Not even on my radar as a problem.

I always walk around with a coffee, I don't see a problem with it. It makes it look like a relaxed atmosphere in the morning, hence the wine glasses at 5:00!! LOL

It's no different than Q hosts with a glass of wine in the evenings. Setting the mood. Many news anchors and TV personalities have coffee in the morning. HSN is mirroring this, trying to be familiar and cozy. Doesn't bother me.

I have no problem with it..I'd bet HSN/QVC got plenty of "calls".. "Where can I buy that cup"!

It's called marketing.

@mjmm Who cares? No one forces any of us to watch.
