I didn't watch all of it but did see the last hour probably. I teared up at the end when she did. I'm looking forward to seeing what she does next. I hope she enjoys the summer with her family. I'll be watching her Farewell show. I've got it set up to record. I'll really miss her. She's my favorite host.

I really enjoyed the final show, and I, too, got teary at the end . . . and I was SO glad she didn't take down the YHJ sign on air or I'm sure I would've actually burst into tears. I like Jill, but I had no idea I'd feel this emotional about a TV host leaving her job.

I'm so bummed I was working until 7, and had to watch it on FB...but they cut off the ending!! So mad.
Can anyone tell me what she said and how she ended it?
FB cut it off while she was presenting Soap Rocks. And the QVC video cuts it off right before she said good bye, (as that's irrelevent to their online sales of soap rocks, but at least the FBLive should have gone until the end!!) ![]()
If anyone can share how she ended it, I'd love to know. I so wanted to watch, and I'm usually home before 7 too, sigh.
Going to miss YHJ, and Jill as a host...she's my favorite host, really the only one I enjoyed watching anymore. But good for her for taking a new road, and enjoying her family, and her life, as she can now.
But... what a void on Q.

There's reruns of Jill's show on QVC3 Saturday night at 10 pm EST and again on Monday at 1 pm EST. Not sure what show they are going to show though, might be the ones from QVC2.
If you have roku, Amazon stick ect., they usually load this show on there to watch.
She basically got emotional, voice quivered, wiped away a few tears. Said she had held it in pretty good until the end when she realized that this is it and it's ending. Walked to the back of the set and touched the YHWJ sign. Thanked everyone for watching the show, said she had done it for 19 years. Asked the viewers to follow her new Facebook page and Instagram - Just Jill Bauer.

@amyb - Jill finished up with the SoapRocks, walked to the back window of the set where the YHJ sign was hanging in the window, tapped it, and said a tearful goodbye, adding a thank you to everyone and an invitation to follow her at Just Jill Bauer on Facebook and Instagram. It wasn't very long, so even though it was tender and nice, you only missed about 30 seconds. Don't forget that her true "finale" is next Wednesday night!

It was classic Jill. A little teary at the very end but she held it together pretty well.
I will miss the YHJ Show. She was easy to watch even if I were not interested in
the product. Jill keeps it about the product, not herself.
Reminds me of my last day when I left my job of 27 years; I skipped all the way to
the car!! I miss the people I worked with, keep in touch with a few, and enjoy every day
of being retired on my own schedule.
I wish Jill the same.

@Catch71 , The same experience for me when I retired. Well said.

"I skipped all the way to the car."
This made me laugh a lot. I know the feeling.
The day I left my job in 2010, I got off the bus one final time (after almost a 2 hour ride home), and I wanted to cartwheel across the parking lot! I opted to just run!
I never missed work....or the bus ride....for one minute!

I want to ask all of you: I watched this show and when she started to cry..I thought to myself..This does not sound like someone who wanted to RETIRE??...Something clearly happened between December her 25th Anniversay show and April when she announced she was leaving...I know she can't say..BUT maybe someday she will tell what happened..For now she will stay quiet and she will not BURN ANY BRIDGES..Because you never know what happens!
