Connie Craig Carroll

Connie is doing her last HSN show now. She's hinting about "big things to come" on her Facebook page. If you want to keep abreast, you have "like" her on her HSN page. She says he definitely is not retiring. She has children, she has to work. She's just taking her career in a new direction. Now I am really curious because they are all saying "new direction".

There is an article on line that states 3 of them were given "pink slips"

Brett Chuckerman, Robin Wall and Connie

QVC owns HSN so I am wondering if this company will end up being all HSN. They are offering the same vendors on both stations

Usually if there is a merger the companies cannot operate as two separate ones and be profitable. Time will tell

I misspoke I am wondering if the HSN will not be around any longer and it will just be QVC. Time will tell

Maybe she'll sell jewelry with Judy Cowell.

I went to Facebook to read what she had to say. On June 14, she wrote that she was leaving HSN "next month". And then today she wrote that today was her last day.

I wish her well. Seems like the established hosts are leaving at a fast clip.

It will indeed be interesting to see what happens in the future with these shopping channels and personnel. I wonder if the queen bee at HSN is getting nervous.

We'll see where it's going. Something's definitely coming with Connie, I felt the same thing about Jill Bauer. Who at her young age, also is not retiring.

I haven't seen an article about hosts getting fired from HSN but a couple weeks after Jill announced her departure from QVC, there was an article I came across on a site and it gave me a good laugh. They had more things wrong in the article about her than they did right.

That's too bad. I like her. Wonder what she will do now?

Are some of the Hosts from Q moving to Fl to be on HSN. I can't see that Q needs all the Hosts they have now?

I don't really care what they do. I hardly ever watch.

@blackhole99

Whose the queen bee at HSN? Is it Coleen?

Corporate must have made some sort of severance deal with Jill and Connie that would allow them to use final shows and social media to “prime” their current audience for an online career switch....whether they end up having YouTube channels or FB sites that will somehow generate income for them.

i wish them well.

I feel that Connie is going to Jewelry Television. She is very good at selling jewelry and that network has been looking for new hosts.

Most definitely, Coleen!! Probably followed by Bobbi Ray. Coleen been there 25 years, Bobbi Ray is at least 35 or more.

She probably would not mind moving to Tenn, she went to college there.

I have noticed in recent months, newer hosts getting prime hours and older ones getting crappier hours and then out the door. I could be wrong but i bet HSN is not the best enviroment right now, I could be wrong that is just my observation. I know it is just a shopping channel but they are still people that need to work.

@Nightowlz Of course it's Coleen Lopez, she's been there for years and is very popular, but that doesn't seem to make a difference when it comes down to the money. Everyone is replaceable and I can only imagine what kind of salary and benefits she draws after all these years.

Wow, if they ever let Colleen go. I picture her to be the last one out the door over there, turning the lights out.

I used to watch HSN before I started watching QVC back when Technibond jewelry was really special and Suzanne Somers and Colleen had jewelry shows - they had me laughing all the time.

I haven't watched HSN in a very long time. I liked Lynn Murphy, (probably because she was Irish and her roots were in Philadelphia) but I think she left long ago. Is she still with HSN. If not, does anyone know what she is doing?

There were several hosts including Connie Craig and Coleen that I liked at HSN.

Makes sense since she is from TN and JTV is currently short on hosts. That would be a great fit for JTV and Connie.

She also used to work in Tennessee, as a host at Shop at Home.
