#1 QVC HOST

Jacrog — Mon, 15 May 2023 21:19:41 GMT

MY WISH IS THAT DECISION MAKERS AT QVC READ THIS.

Jayne Brown is hands-down QVC's best host because she speaks in a normal, modulated tone of voice, she is relaxed, respectful of the vendor and anyone else who is working with her, explains the item presented with all of its salient points to educate and inform the viewer, does not try to eclipse the product or the vendor with drama or by inserting herself for her "best closeup." In essence, Jayne does not perform. She presents. Amen!

Give Jayne more air time and push the egoists off the air. I think you know who they are. These people are not entertaining. They are exhausting.

I appreciate the comment that Jayne presents not performs. There is a vast difference and easy to tell which camp the hosts fall into. I appreciate when hosts simply present products in a reasonable voice, with reasonable excitment, and realize the product is the star not them. Jayne is a great host.

I also love Jayne; she's professional, appropriate, and has a giggle that cracks me up when I hear it....there are a few that I will not mention that are an instant click for me no matter what they are selling.

All well and good, but you seem to be suggesting custom-made programming per your likes and dislikes. So, if you watch Q for a specific number of hours per day, Jayne should be required to work "said" number of hours? Would you, the Q and Jayne have to sit down and work out a schedule? How would that work out for thousands of other viewers who have their own preferences?

@Jacrog I love Jayne as well. I see her only when she's presenting food, kitchen or home decor products. She is usually knowledgeable about the products, and when she doesn't have first-hand knowledge, she asks good questions and gives great prompts.. She is one of a few hosts I thoroughly enjoy.

Mary Beth is very watchable as well

I have to disagree. Pat James is a very knowledgeable prepared host. Mary Beth is another. Although Jayne is good IMO she isn't the best

It's the same with Pat and Mary Beth. They are "old school" and they don't see themselves as entertainers or celebrities. They relate to the customers and know what we need to make a decision. But that's not where the shopping channel industry is now and certainly is not the future. Younger shoppers want to be entertained, they want excitement, variety, shows that move quickly. They also multitask.

@RoughDraft I don't think the OP is suggesting any such thing. She mentions Jayne is an excellent host and why. Neither schedules nor preferences were mentioned.

Ridiculous response.

So because OP thinks this should be so then schedules need to be rearranged to suit her!! Everyone has a particular host they like but who would the "decision makers" side with??? A host is a host and just a sales person and they are not on to entertain!! Watching is not a must and live presentations may become a thing of the past soon with less and less people watching and ordering online!! Also, I wonder if those demanding the :decision makers" listen to them would buy enough to make a difference in overall profits - I think not!!

Those hosts mentioned here who haven't caved in to being boisterous silly teenagers might not be around next time.

Carolyn and Dan weren't acting like that either.

I like hosts to be laid back as well, but a few put me to sleep.

@Kachina624 Then how do you interpret her last paragraph, "Give Jayne more air time and push the egoists off the air."

You have your opinion . My favorites left QVC within the last 2 yrs ... Can't bear watching most of the Hosts. Jayne is okay till she is eating and talking with food in her mouth , however she is not obnoxious as many of the Hosts are these days.

I love Jayne Brown too. I feel she is the best host QVC has.

And drops the food on her forearm and licks it off. That's not classy to me.

@Jacrog I remember years ago, on a very late night slot, seeing Jayne Brown's first time hosting. She appeared nervous, but that was natural. VERY quickly she became the quintessential host. Poised, humble, informative.

SO, I agree with you!
