David and camera

Why does David always watch the camera of himself instead of paying attention to

the other people and the product. He waits to take a bite of anything until the

camera is only on him.

I would think he does it to get the point across that the food product is delicious. If the viewers see him enjoying the food so much, it must be good.

My explanation sounds reasonable to me, but only David's knows for sure. He's a salesman trying to get you to buy a product.

He needs to talk and look at us he likes to look at himself must be admiring the weight he's put back on

He is always looking at the monitor at himself, so annyoing. He almost never looks right into the camera at his audience.

I guess the only one who can answer your question is David. Why not ask him on Facebook?

Wow, not nice body shaming someone for their weight.

I'm guessing he's looking to see what camera view is being shown on air at any given time.

what a bunch of catty bullies. Geesh, everyday it's someone else. Nothing to do but rip people apart.

It does seem like he's bored out of his mind and he's just going through the motions until he retires.

Totally agree @shoekitty !

Agree with @santorini He appears to be totally disinterested. He waits for the vendor to stop talking then he seems to repeat the vendor more often than not. In his defense, how many millions of times can you sell the same can opener?

People may shame others due to their own unresolved insecurities. Projecting criticism onto others can momentarily improve self-worth, while reinforcing a social hierarchy based on appearance.

@lonistwin

Soooo are you saying while he’s presenting he never looks at the guest, since he’s always looking at the camera.

What show was this ?? I’d love to see how he did that and also avoided the looking at the food. 🥴

How did he even know what he was eating then ?? 😳

I hate watching David, just my opinion but I think he's a diva and wants that camera time. I guess he thinks it's cute but it's a real turn off. Both he and JT stated about the same time and have grandiose ideas of their importance!

I rarely watch David but in his defense as a previous poster mentioned, I think he's watching to see how the item is coming across on TV. LR used to do the same thing.

I also don't understand why he does 4 hour shows. Does any other host do such a long stretch????

And it is MUCH harder to keep weight off than to take it off in the first place.

Re: David and camera

Janey2 — Sun, 14 Dec 2025 21:55:37 GMT

@kaydee50 I agree about taking the weight off and keeping it off. The only thing I object to is that he talked about it way too much while he was dieting. In my opinion, most people are bored with the topic. I do not know the % but I have to guess most people put some weight back after dieting. Better to keep it to yourself.

I totally agree with him always watching himself in the monitor..along with him constantly putting his pointer finger over his lips. After 36 years of QVC I am completely over David Venable and his happy dance along with everything else he does. Just my opinion.

Re: David and camera

KKJ — Sun, 14 Dec 2025 22:32:18 GMT

@Sophie Rose Then why do you watch him?

Re: David and camera

Desertdi — Sun, 14 Dec 2025 23:50:48 GMT

He's probably watching the sales figures on a "ticker"...

@CAcableGirl2 Your opinion......

David has gained his weight back. It is NOT body shaming, it is FACT & noticable. No one in this thread has made fun of his weight gain.

I myself chalked it up to maybe he's a beer drinker as he has a beer gut.

That's my opinion & I'm sticking to it.
