Food Show Host

May I please suggest less food shows with Dan Wheeler hosting them. It is very rude when he starts grabbing the food before the spokesperson is finished presenting the product. He constantly interrupts them while grabbing more food. I understand he has to sample the food, but literally making a meal out of each product is ridiculous. He also interrupts presentations with his co-host and grabs food. I am positive other viewers feel the same way. Maybe QVC should be giving classes on manners.

Yup - I so agree. Use to be one of my favorites; but over time = not at all.

I have only seen two hosts who can handle the sampling of food without making me gag. Jill and Carolyn. All the others - ALL OF THEM - eat as if they have been locked up and starving for weeks. Doesn't make me want to buy!!!

I've always felt that Dan W. is extremely rude to vendors. He continually interrupts them and always wants to be the center of attention,

Beg to differ about JB, she manages to make a meal out of whatever food show she's hosting... IMO lots of chow hounds hosting food shows do, but agreed, DW is such a gluttonski!

I agree about DW .... lately I find him very annoying & not explaining the product completely .... he doesn't let the vendor explain either!

His mind isn't on explaining the product, it's on eating it! Vendor beware of fingers!!

Seeing the hosts really seem to be enjoying the food is what I like to see. I probably wouldn't pay much attention to something if the host just sampled a small bite as it would be just doing the bare minimum and not showing me that the food is worth buying!

I agree about DW. He acts as if he's never eaten before. And it doesn't even matter if a different host is presenting. He's right in their grabbing what he can. SF isn't far behind. I don't care for either of them in presenting food shows. Hence, I rarely watch the food shows.

I don't watch a lot of the food shows but as I am surfing and one is on I will linger for a few minutes. I have seen nothing like what has been described on this thread. The shows are fun and entertaining and I love The Happy Dance! With David I always know what is really good and what is so-so good.

I guess if the hosts know their going to do a food program they don't eat until the show. Then they are let loose and chow down like hungry puppies! I enjoy David's happy dance and rolley eyes.

I like Dan and his food hosting. Grabbing and showing that the product is so yummy that he can't control himself and needs to partake.....it's Dan's sales schtick. He's not rude, nor does he come on air starving. Dan's a good guy.

I too agree about Dan W. He always comes across as if he's not eaten in weeks regardless of the food item that's being presented.

@PhilaLady1 I agree with you! I like Dan very much and think his hosting is just fine! He may not be for everyone but I'll keep watching!

I was so happy to see this post! I thought I was the only one who thought he acted like he hadn't eaten in days and never would again! I can't watch him; his piggish ways are a real turnoff.

Among the food show hosts, Sharon annoys me the most.
