I have seen Alberti host all the types of shows you mentioned, and more: electronics, kitchen, food, home furnishings and gadgets, cleaning products, Christmas decor and gifts, etc., and he did a great job. As they add more hours, and move him into more of the daylight hours I think more people will him in those shows. He's quite versatile, comes well-prepared to each show I've seen, and seems so comfortable in front of the cameras.

If I want to buy a line and he's the host, I'll stay around, but I don't look to see if he's presenting. When that happens, I'll think he's made it.

Re: I think Alberti's getting more popular.

When I've seen him, he really is good. He is prepared and very calm. No silly antics. I really don't mind him putting a ring on his finger as I've seen JTV's Jeff M do that too and its not a problem for me. He really is a natural.

I think Q is "trying" to make him more popular. I flipped on Q last night, he was on and I just cannot get into him hosting. Not my cup of tea.


Not my cup of tea either. time will tell if I warm up to him.

I don't like men doing jewelry on QVC. Just doesn't work for me.

No offense towards Alberti, but I really think it's trying a bit too hard to be perfect. I say for him tone it down a notch and in no time you'll be a great host and working better shows/hours.

Sometimes I don't mind him and other times, eh. Can't decide yet.

Dave James has been the best male host (IMO), since I have been watching the Q.

Alberti is a pleasant addition. He always is prepared and is impeccably dressed. Very thorough in his presentations no matter what the product. I enjoy watching when he is the host.
