Showcase Different Hosts

Sheila P-Burg — Fri, 11 Oct 2019 01:29:50 GMT

I don't mean to be rude ........ and I really do like David ...... BUT ...... it just seems like every time I turn QVC on there he is!!!! He was on last night ..... now tonight ..... again

tomorrow night and then again Sunday. Does QVC have a shortage of host? After someone has been on that much you soon their mannerisms and just about know what their reaction and/or comment is going to be. Kind of makes the shows a little boring. I mean how many times do you have to hear "happy dance" before it gets old????!!!! QVC has one "new" male host and I've seen him a couple of times with Martha Stewart and, I think, it is called "Gourmet Holiday". He seems energetic and excited about the shows and the products ....... makes you interested in what he is talking about .... It's new to him and because of that you pick up on his upbeat attitude. Sorry .... but when someone has been selling the same type of products for years they lose that "excitement" and become, for lack of a better word, " humdrum". Give David a break and let us see some "fresh" faces.

@Sheila P-Burg My take: David generates sales and that's why he is on so much. That's my opinion.

one can view the weekly schedules and see others get more or equal air time to him.

Sheila, my observation has been for months that Shawn, Jane T. and Amy are on all the time. The Q hired and trained new hosts. I'm sure that was an expense. So, they should recoup the expense by getting the new hosts to work. More shifts for newer hosts, fewer shifts for the same-old, same-old we see over and over and over,...sometimes one host is on 2 or 3 channels at the same time!

It seems certain hosts have a serious fan base, the fans buy the goods from their favorite hosts whether they need the stuff or not, the Q counts on that. I am sick of David and the rest of the older hosts too, IMO they are loud and boring, same old schtick. I can mute them and still hear the same old drivel in my head.

I've been with QVC from the beginning . A lot of hosts in the past have had huge "fans"

...... remember Bob Bowersox, Kathy Levine, Lisa Robertson .... and yet when they left their "fans" surely continued to watch QVC . Half the time it isn't the host "selling" the product, it's the representative of the vender or the vender. If QVC wants to attract more consumers (and try to draw in the younger ones) they are going to have to make some changes. Younger more enthusiastic hosts would be a good start ...... next would be getting different venders and products. Lately it seems to be the same hosts AND the same people representing the venders. On Sunday you don't have to really look at the program guide to just about know who is going to be on David's show. If I'm getting this "bored" watching the "same o same o" ...... why would someone younger want to watch?????

It's pretty obvious that David, Jane and Shawn consume the largest share of air time and are probably considered successful and important to Q management, however that is measured.

I don't see any other host coming close to their collective hours, except perhaps those that have regular show hours during daytime (Pat, Jayne, Jennifer, Kerstin) but I doubt those hours equal any of the top three.

@Johnnyeager You can include Amy into the mix. In fact, I think Amy has more hours than Shawn (who works primarily at night, and only on the original channel) in some weeks. They put Amy on Q2 a lot now, so she's all over the network.

Thanks, I forgot about Q2 since I don't watch it at all or pay much attention. Although I noticed in the program guide that Kristine Zell seems to be pretty much settled there now too.

@Sheila P-Burg

Take a gander at the MEET THE HOST section on the website, they did hire some younger hosts....but the problem is that many of them don't do the homework on the products that they are presenting....they make a lot of mistakes in their presentations and seem more interested in telling stories about themselves or their families than they do the products....I'd rather watch well prepared hosts and see more variety in QVC merchandise

Posts about rotating hosts or their air time puzzle me. Can you imagine working at your job for 10, 15, 25 years and then your boss shoving you out of the way so a new person can have your primo hours or favorite work? New people should have to work their way up to the good hours and air time.

Show host at the Q is hardly the average job and they are not average workers. Why hire all those new hosts and then don't use them. I am so sick of seeing the same hosts on all the time, they just wear out their welcome after awhile for me.
