What a shame. : (  He and Kathy Wolf were 2 of my favorites. Whatever they're doing, I hope they are truly happy. : )

I rarely watch HSN but I always enjoy his presentations. Suzanne Runyan was on the other day with crafts. I like her. Its been ages since I've seen Bobbi Ray. Seems as if the HSN old timers are just about gone.

Bill is one of the good guys, and I wish him all success for all his future endeavors!

I rarely saw Bill on anymore because it seems he must have worked during the day and that's not when I can watch.

 

The last few times I did see him, he was co-hosting with Alyce.

I happened to be watching when Bill made his announcement. It was a very emotional moment for him. His voice was shakey and I could see he was struggling to maintain. There were some execs who came on set to hug him. I started to cry.

Big mistake if HSN made it. He is a classy and fun guy.. one of the few men  hosts I really liked.

 I hope he is really happy whatever he does behind the scenes.

  I can see if someone gets older and looks bad or acts old then it may be time to move on, but if you keep up and you have all this wisdom you should be revered.

All these new young hosts have nothing on the experienced ones.. they remind me of the Stepford wives..

 

I will miss him!

I'm glad HSN acknowledged him. Too many times hosts vanish without a word.

Dang, why couldn't Bobbie Ray or Shannon go Behind the Scenes?


LOL.  Some would prefer it be JOY Mangano and her family.


 

 

Well yeah, but she's not a host. Thought we were talkin' just hosts. I handle Joy on Mute :-(


Ooops, I didn't realize that not everyone knows about JOY and her real relationship with HSN (which includes her daughters on air as semi hosts).

I will miss Bill!  He is very professional and knowledgeable about his products.  Congratulations to him on his promotion.  I,too, am glad that HSN acknowledged him leaving his host position!

I'm not short...I'm fun size!

I am one of them that didn't realize her daughters were "hosts".  When do they appear?  LOL
