I like Jayne Brown with Angel.  They used to do a lot of shows together and they were great fun, especially the Halloween ones.  Mary D did the Halloween one this year and also did a wonderful job Smiley Happy

Along the same lines, I've always wondered whether vendors prefer or can request a host they work with best. Maybe they can also "refuse" to work with some.

Best pairings:

 

Rick and Valerie --- as odd as it may seem on the surface...

 

Jayne Brown and Valerie

 

Alberti and Valerie

 

Dan or Mary Beth with Jim Shore

 

Pat seems to be one of the few that can rein in Susan Graver and keep her on track! 

 

Carolyn and Gary from D&C

 

David and Mary D.

There have been some hosts where you can tell by the vendor's attitude and what they said, that they were not happy with the host....I remember a couple incidents involving Bob Mackie, Dennis Basso, Robert Lee Morris, where they were actually vocal about it....and poor Patricia Nash just the expression on her face (in the case of Patricia---I felt the same way---poor Ms. Nash---she kept being interrupted and the host went off on a tangent with a non-related personal story---thankfully that host no longer works at QVC)..

I have heard Amy be so rude to Isaac.  I couldn't believe it.  Pat, Mary Beth, Jayne and Leah can host with any vendor and do a great job.

First thought when I saw the topic was Jayne Brown and Jim Shore - love those two together.

I think Sandra Amy and Ali...are the worst for interrupting.....they seem to jump in before vendor even finishes sentences....
