Tuned in Late to Isaac's Show and was Surprised to See...

LR hosting his show instead of Shawn. Anyone know how that happened??

I thought it was weird too, but don't know the details. There was no special intro. But at the end, when it was time for Shawn's next show, she said something like: "Hey, IM, you hear me? Miss you!"

I don't think any more need be read into it other than PM Style was only 2-hours and Lisa's shift had one more hour which management chose to fill with Isaac's Monday night show.

Lisa said that they moved Isaac's show up one hour (to 6:00). He is usually on at 7:00, which puts him with Shawn.

I didn't watch, but in flipping channels I saw Shawn on later in the evening. For some reason Isaac's show came on earlier last night, so Lisa covered it. Just a schedule swap, I imagine.

Perhaps Lisa wanted to work with Isaac one more time before she left?

Lol these threads are funny. The hosts are just like you and me. They get days off and have family obligations just like everyone else.

Or vice versa.

I think the Q wanted to throw a 'curve' (do something unexpected) since apparently this was Lisa's last PM style. To avoid tears streaming down the PM style model's faces - they moved LR to a different set and different platform for the last hour. I thought LR looked deflated, un-interested and just going through the motions.

Re: LR and Isaac - I've never thought there was a whole lot of love between them. Isaac always seems intimidated, up tight, in LR's presence (audience with the Queen).

They've done this before... meaning cut PM Style short by an hour and then had Lisa with Issac while Shawn was on later... No idea why...

Lisa more or less was the host that worked most with Issac when he first came to QVC, prior to the pairing with Shawn and she's a very different woman than is Shawn. They clearly have a very different relationship but I think it's probably a good one.

Lisa was barely able to hold it together for PM Style and the strain was showing during the show with IM, during which her emotions were also very near the surface. It was clear neither of them could really address this being their last gig together, because she'd already come close to falling apart a time or two earlier, including at the end of PM Style when all the models gathered for a hug... Unless I miss my guess, they also cut to promos, the vendor or Courtney a few times because it seemed Lisa was about to lose it... She seems to really value her colleagues and they her, which I'm sure makes this week a real challenge. I think most of us know what the whole 'bittersweet' thing is like, excited about moving forward, but hitting a few rough patches letting go.

stevieb - I don't know if you're male or female - but you have some depth to you. I always find your postings interesting and with a lot of thought. Nice to 'know' you! Happy Holidays

Shawn was on with the TSV at midnight. I don't think she usually stays for the Tuesday TSV, so she was likely filling in for someone else. Heading toward the holiday's, I'd imagine there are a lot of vacations.

Think Stevie Nicks, though I wish I had her resources... Thanks for your kind words and Happiest of Holidays to you too. Incidentally, if your nick indicates your area, we're in the same neck of the woods...

I can only imagine how hard it is to leave the job after 20+ years. I changed a few departments every 6-10 months (mostly for more experience and some promotions) and even that was hard.... I'm looking forward to my next move. Hoping to stay there for a while...

Lisa had to work her full 4-hour "on air" shift.( She didn't complete it with the previous show.) They do 4-hours "on air" daily, and 4 off, to make an 8-hour day. Did you think they only worked their "air -time "? Everyone works an 8-hour day every day, just like us regular guys !

You couldn't be more wrong. Lisa and Isaac are friends and have gone out when she's in NYC. She was just drained from her last PM Style show especially at the end when she and the models were all hugging her and crying. It just goes to show how much Lisa means to everyone at the Q, including the vendors, and callers who have expressed their sadness of her leaving. Her professionalism and kindness will certainly be missed by everyone who loves her. I could never understand the hateful things posters have said about such a beautiful woman both inside and out. I know I will miss her very much and the Q won't be the same without her. Those of us who are fans, I think we'll need a tissue come this Friday night.

Stevieb - nick = screen ID ?? just letters from my (real) name. Indicates no location - which is the expensive over taxed state of NY! Think I figured out your question.

That's what I was thinking. I'm partial to Shawn with Isaac.

Just goes to show... Fort Hunt is an area here in No. Va. as well and very close-by to where I live. For some reason, I assumed, wrongly it turns out, that was where you are located... Makes no difference at all... Again, enjoy the holidays!
