I saw Harry Slatkin on Instagram talking about their trip to London and that he handpicked Shawn to be the host based on their personal friendship. I assume, that friendship goes beyond Jen's time on QVC.

Shawn seemed thrilled to be going to London and it seems like she and Harry have a very good working relationship. I don't look into it anymore than that. Jen would have made a terrible choice to do those London shows. She makes everything about her and is very off-putting with her presentation style. I suppose some feel the same way about Shawn. It all comes down to Harry's choice and he chose her. I don't think anymore should be made about it than that. Plus, she's leaving anyway.

Certainly , makes it pretty blah seeing the same Hosts all the time. How many shows do they think customers wantt to see Shawn or Jane or David all the time .

@skatting44 Very telling about the people that watch QVC. You can guess which audience these three appeal to. I rarely see any QVC, but other than these three, several of the hosts seem to be not very educated on the items they are selling or much of anything for a few.

I think QVC is putting the emphasis on demographics and youth for the hosts, not on interesting people who know a lot about the world and are more intellectual. And that's saying a lot. . . but some of the new ones in recent past have simply seemed to be lacking in education and have made some really bizarre blunders.

The original post is too much of a reach for me. Jen is leaving because she's taking a different path in life. I would find it hard to believe it had anything to do with Shawn or any other host.

Shawn filled the Lisa role when she left. The host who travels around, hosts the holiday shows, etc. There's not much more to it than that. Whether one likes her or not, that's where QVC has positioned her.

As much as QVC wants you to think the hosts are all one big happy family, it's just not possible. You have to have and ego to be in the hosting business, and I'm sure envy and jealousy abound among the on-air gang at the Q.

I think Shawn was chosen to do the Elton John thing due to her relationship with Harry. If Harry had a personal relationship with another host instead, that host would have been chosen.

People....they are selling candles! They hype it up like Elton John is going to come to your house and give you a private concert. That's what a shopping channel does. They make the product sound unbelievable so you think you need it. Shawn seems to be good at playing that game.
