Male Hosts

What is the matter with QVC HR people. Hire some men. Do you think they can't sell. You can train them just as you do the females. What is your deal??

I too love the male host's! They present themselves well and don't have squeaky valley girl nasal voices.

With so many hours devoted to beauty, handbags and fashion, they probably assume many female customers would be turned off by a male hosting those shows. In major department stores there are maybe one or two floors of men's clothing and six, seven or more of women's. Retail has always been female-oriented. And I do think too that the QVC men are fine at their jobs.

Jewelry doesn't look so good on hairy hands.. But the hostesses often don't display jewelry long or well enough either...

There might not be any suitable prospects when they are looking and taking resumes.

Which is probably the reason QVC does not sell men clothing (pants, shirts, shoes, etc.).

I agree. They could stand at least a small infusion of something other than middle aged testosterone around here... An appealing male host or two would be a nice choice, especially given the many, MANY female clones they've hired in recent years... Sorry, but for me, Rick is unwatchable, I rarely see Dan H, I don't watch David in the kitchen and Dan Wheeler seems like a nice man but is hardly compelling viewing. I do like Alberti... but don't see him often...

I guess the question is, who is the male host for? Few young guys watch QVC or HSN so I guess dude to dude marketing is out to the 20-35 year old market, and the two Dans seem sufficient for the older crowd. Alberti is very female friendly. These types of retailers don't seem to need much more maleness,considering who shops from television retailers.

Alberti Popaj should be on more often.

Oh, I don't know, I'd probably be at least a bit more inclined to at least check out something in which I have minimal interest, which is pretty much everything the Q televises these days, if the presentations were being made by a more youthful, attractive male than I'm seeing when I tune in only to see RD the blowhard or Dan W... Rick is an instant channel changer for me, no matter what he's selling, and Dan rarely presents anything interesting enough to make me want to endure watching him... A case in point is Dell... I have no interest whatsoever in the brand, but might, say once in a blue moon, watch for a few minutes when their cute vendor is presenting...

I don't watch QVC "on TV" at all, I just watch the online videos. When I see Rick presenting a product, I'm less inclined to keep watching, and to buy.

I don't see any other male hosts, other than occasionally Alberti (who is fine by me). I pretty much only watch jewelry and fashion vids.

They should have kept Dave James. I do like Rick. Alberti should do well; I like Dan Hughes, but don't watch the Morning Show. David is great but talks too fast now and he doesn't need four hour shows. Dan Wheeler is a channel changer for me lately.

In the Q's graveyard ??? In their eyes, they are only to be 'remembered' but not to be mentioned again...
