Re: Lisa Robertson leaving QVC

I got the sense that she had waded into burn-out territory a while ago.

I think she chose the 12th so she could spend her Holidays with her family and not have to worry about her job....

Re: Lisa Robertson leaving QVC

Maybe it's time for her to move on in her career or personal life. I'm sure she's financially secure & may want to have some downtime. As hosts I don't think they can call in ""sick"" or take days at their leisure. I've heard and seen many hosts sick on air (can barely talk) & talk about missing special family things. Whatever she does I wish her well!

I can't imagine anyone bashing her or anyone.....they bash Jane and people just kicked Patti Reilly. I wish Lisa health and happiness as I do everyone on here.

I wonder if that Dooney call was the last straw for her. Not the call itself but the nasty threads and posts that followed.

It will be a different Q without Lisa. I wish her the best.

what Dooney call? Totally missed it...what happened?

It was Saturday's Dooney show. Sue and Lisa were on air and of course they took customer calls. One call started out like all others. Then the caller said (and I don't remember the exact words so I'm paraphrasing), "Lisa, we would like to hear more from Sue". Sue chuckled as did Lisa. Lisa replied with, "Ok! I will do that" and then to Sue, "She loves me". Of course the Community went nuts because many understood it as the caller telling Lisa to shut up which wasn't the case at all. The caller was being a matter of fact and Lisa took it with good natured humor. People were bashing Lisa as well as the caller in multiple forums and on facebook. It was bad.

Thank you for the explanation. That was an unfortunate incident I think Lisa is a victim of her own success. People love to knock those who fly high. I wish Lisa the very best.

ITA, I think she has looked a bit stressed lately to be honest.

Maybe she just doesn't want to do this any more.

Best of luck to her, whatever she does.

Re: Lisa Robertson leaving QVC

WOW - I'm shocked! And I will miss seeing her as a host. To me, she always had that quirky sense of humor that made her shows interesting. I liked her.

Just a feeling I got from reading the end of the blog that sunshine45 posted for us: I think she knows what she will be doing after the first of the year.

It's hard to leave your "family" at work. A lot of us have done it several times. But I want her to be happy!

Re: Lisa Robertson leaving QVC

I think Lisa has probably been offered or has had to turn down offers due to her QVC schedule over the years. The past couple of years Lisa has been on many talk shows as a fashion and beauty adviser, so I think Lisa might have gotten an offer she couldn't refuse. I remember Before Kelly Ripa got the job on Regis Lisa auditioned to take over for Kathy Lee Gifford and last year she was on Bethennys show and other talk shows. Lisa is the main reason I watch QVC and her popularity went beyond Kathy Levine. Sorry but PM style and Friday Night Beauty won't be the same. Maybe Courtney is the new girl they will push ahead or Amy for those shows but Lisa will be hard to replace.

Re: Lisa Robertson leaving QVC

Lisa was very good at what she was hired to do-- be a salesperson.

Hope wherever she goes, she will excel in her new 'adventure'.
