Does anyone else remember this???

 

 

Vicki


Yes.  I was trying to remember the model's name.  She was brunette and popular with the viewers.


Dorian I believe was her name and rumor had it she was fired.

 

She and Angela got into the fight but I don't remember it happening on air.  I thought it happened behind the scenes.  LOL 


Thank you !

Re: What's Your Favorite QVC Story or Blooper?

Late one night or very early in the morning, during a show hosted by David Venable, a man called in, and serenaded David with the chorus of Ludacris's song "What's your fantasy". 😳

David was clearly flustered listening to the  male caller "singing" in such creepy and lascivious manner. After the call ended, David kept saying the caller was going to be reported to the FCC.

☀️...And I think to myself what a Wenderful world.☀️

I haven't seen any of these incidents. NJ Rosalee's recent call to Leah was the first I'd heard of any of these funnies. I gotta watch more QVC!!

Re: What's Your Favorite QVC Story or Blooper?

I seem to remember when the fallout between Angela and the other model happened. I believe at the time, the other model was quite popular with viewers.


I remember back in the mid 90's, Jane R. Tracey took a call from a viewer. She talked to the caller for awhile, but I remember at the end, they said they really liked her chest.

Re: What's Your Favorite QVC Story or Blooper?

Someone mentioned Mary Beth and I also remember the jewelry that broke after going on about how strong and durable it is. There's a blooper from QVC UK where they are selling a product (I think it was Lock &Lock). They had a caller on air and asked them if the product was as good as QVC said it was and the caller said, "Not really". Another one from QVC UK they were selling a vacuum cleaner and couldn't get the thing to work prproperly and they couldn't stop laughing.

[ Edited ]

One of my favorites, can't recall the host, but they were selling a shower caddy that attached to the shower stall wall with suction cups.  A caller said how hers let go about 2 a.m. and scared her to death.  They proceeded to tell her how to make it stick and each time she said she had tried that.  It was hilarious.

 

More recently a wine opener of some kind that wouldn't work.  Very funny. 

 

I think my all time favorite was a call Jayne took when she was presenting a blouse. The caller said "she" was buying one in every color because she used to be a man.  Jayne sort of blinked and I could swear she blushed but she soldiered on.  Stammering and stumbling but she made it through!

 

This was wayyyy before Jenner.

 

OP wonder why yours got poofed.
