Host Break-In's Interruptions

DRussindahouse — Sat, 13 Apr 2024 22:09:24 GMT

I feel like the host break-ins, where a host from an upcoming show breaks into an "on air" show, can be very rude in nature. This is very pronounced when there is little to no reconition of the "guest" designer or contributor. Hugs n Kiss and I love you's between the hosts is very awkward when the guest is waiting to the side and it is basically their air time. I have seen one instance where this was done eliqently and the sub-host popped in very briefly with equal awareness to guest and then exited while honoring the guest with good show well wishing, etc.

It has never been a major issue for me because I am not easily annoyed, however I COMPLETELY understand how such behaviors can be off putting for some!🥰

IMHO, a total waste of time. Adds nothing and is just an unnecessary and often uncomfortable interruption to the current program. Same goes for the customer on air calls QVC has resurrected with such gusto as of late...all of a sudden they're back with a vengeance. Adds nothing and only makes me mute the channel even more!

Something must be wrong with me. I just don't get it.

All these complaints about the hosts seem petty. How do some people get through their day with such anxiety over trivial stuff.

Can these things really be that bothersome?

I don't know for certain but it seems to me that the host 'break in' is orchestrated. I think it is not the case that a host that interrupts just happens to be on the set and must say "hi". It's a sales tactic to show the viewers that we are all friends here, or watch my upcoming show, or take a look at the cute outfit I am wearing so you want to buy it too.

Orchestrated? Well of course it is! It's been going on at QVC for quite awhile now and soooooo predictable. Each host has their marching orders as to when they will "pop in" to QVC main channel to seemingly nonchalantly promote their programming on QVC2. I don't even get it! Do they want us to abandon programming on QVC and abort to QVC2 tout suite? Many people don't get QVC2 so it's not even an option for them. And those who get both are probably QVC savvy enough to check the program guide to decide which channel has the product presentations they are most interested in.

Again, I deem this unnecessary, unproductive, and uncomfortable for all involved.

Well, I have to admit that Iwhen earlier today Alberti busted in w/his cell phone interrupting Kim & the hostess who were showcasing Kim's pants.

Alberti's mother had texted him for him to order 2 pairs of Kim's pants for her. Alberti actually showed the text on camera.

He was so excited he couldn't catch his breath. Kim & the hostess were stunned & speechless.

I wondered why his mother couldn't order the pants herself? And who cares what his mother wears???? Then realized, she wanted her son's employee discount.

I don't care for the interruptions at all. It's awkward for a vendor describing her clothing when the host from QVC2 comes on promoting a different line. The vendor stands there while the two hosts are chatting away. It's very rude.

I find it a bit annoying and silly. I've noticed it's been a new thing suddenly. I don't watch a lot of QVC but it seems to be in most shows that I do happen to watch.

@PhilaLady1 It is absolutely! I find it silly...as if they just happened to be right near the set and stopped by to say hello! LOL!...another sales tactic.

Hosts are doing what they're told to do, rude or not. You can't change it so live with it or find something else to watch or occupy your time.

p.s. I don't care for it either but I'm not going to let such a trivial thing get to me.

Everyone on that set is fully aware that the QVC 2 host will come on air to let viewers know what's being presented there. It's about generating sales for the company, so they can all keep their jobs.

You don't see anything to buy on the main channel? Come over to QVC 2 and spend some money.

It's been a management decision to have those QVC 2 host "drop-ins" for a while now. That host does not appear out of a puff of smoke. They are standing on the sideline off camera, and the vendor and host can clearly see them and know they're coming on camera any moment.

Why be upset for the vendor or main channel host? They are completely aware of it and know that's now business as usual.

It's less than 60 seconds. Doesn't bother me at all.

Walk-ons were done all the time years ago. The following host would give a peek of something coming up in the next show. For some reason they brought it back.

@frenchie Yes, I remember when they would do that. What was old is new again.
