Sunday afternoon is reserved for football in our house. None of these hosts are chefs, although David seems very comfortable in the kitchen. Didn't he sort of knock Bob Bowersox off the Sunday show so Bob left QVC?

No

@AuntG If I'm remembering correctly, Bob left first and then David took over the kitchen show.

This thread is up to 40 posts and Alberti hasn't even been on yet.  Bob Bowersox soured on something.  I remember his mentioning that the plants he was selling were fakes for the studio. I also remember something about security escorting him out of the building.  That's the greatest indignity in my book, no matter who it happens to.

Why would a "seasoned" cook be a requirement?

They don't really cook anything on air anymore and most items are prepared foods and gadgets:  it's irrelevant who presents them.

might be a requirement for the 'cannibal' audience !

I don't watch anyway--is there ever anything new anymore?? Seems like the same old stuff and then  watching the TSV, during the show, whether it has anything to do with the kitchen and mostly it doesn't , make me crazy-----and AP drives me crazy as well--not a fan

I'm watching Alberti as we speak and he's doing a great job, IMO.  He's more low key than he is with a co-host which should make some people happy.   He explains well and gives all the facts about the products.

I agree completely.

He is thorough, informative and knowledgeable.   And definitely is a host who excels when alone without the distractions from a co-host.

I was going to say if he is paired with Rachel for this show, I would not be watching.  Those two together are a disaster.  Talk about annoying and grade school antics.  The screaming and foolishness by two grown people is not for me.  I change the channel when those two are on.

@AuntG  I don't think so but that was when I lost interest in watching QVC.  I still do a lot of shopping but only on line and of course videos are muted.

No He Did Not. David looked visibly upset on that day. David and Rick both were on and you could see how they seemed to be at a loss for words.
Two weeks before Bob was let go he was doing a live show at a Kitchen conference where vendors of all things relating to the Kitchen were there. QVC use to do a lot of those.
Well Bob was showing an item (I think it was some sort of blender, but not sure) and the presentation was not going well. He kept having problems getting the thing to work. Finally the presentation ended and they were going back to the QVC Studio. We'll they hadn't shut off Bob's mic and he started cussing about the item and how he almost cut off his finger on the blades.
Now I don't know if that is why they let him go. He also has a special needs daughter that he took care of.
I will never forget that show. Quite awkward when they got back to the QVC Studio.

I dont know why the people arent back on air to present the products.   Other shopping channels have brought the guests back on in person.  (Shop HQ and JTV for example).  The cooking show has really gone down hill. They used to cook items, but I noticed things were changing even before COVID restrictions came into play.  Maybe it is time to change up the host, it is the same old thing with David over and over.  It would be nice to bring in somebody new.  Stacie would have been a good replacement but they let her go, then she comes back to present products.  Doesn't make sense on why they fire some hosts and keep some of the ones who are really not watchable.
