to comment.. I find him incredibly boring.
Gary Goben is not a "vendor". He is a QVC employee as Head Designer for Denim& Co, a line of clothing that QVC owns. So when he is talking with a host, they are collaborating as colleagues of the same company.
Goben is not a vendor in the sense of someone who sells a product via QVC or other outlets.Example: Isaac Mizrahi is a vendor. His garments are not exclusive to QVC and not owned by QVC. Ditto for Dennis Basso
Because he has executive responsibilities, when Gary Goben is on with one of the hosts, he does a lot of explaining of the production side of garments-- designs, patterns, workmanship and textiles. The fashion side of making the garment appeal to shoppers by comments on styling and wardrobe coordination is done by the host (if all goes well!). The host also will describe sizing and any special features like buttons or pockets, etc. (if all goes well!)
Gary Goben is actively involved with every item whenever he makes an appearance for the Denim & Co. clothing line. Boring or interesting applied to Goben is debatable and subjective. But it's a misstatement to call him a vendor.
