Love him all you want, but it's very unprofessional to prounounce a very well known cookware incorrectly.
That's like pronouncing one of his co-workers' name incorrectly. You just don't do that. It makes him look un-educated in what he's selling.
I agree. I like Rick too, but all hosts should be pronouncing the names of what they sell correctly. If I owned a company, I certainly wouldn't want the name mispronounced. It's careless, and - as you said - unprofessional. Hosts pronouncing incorrectly leads to consumers doing the same thing, and no company wants that.
Attention to detail matters in television, and in sales also. This just looks sloppy. QVC should aim to be better than that.

Very unprofessional. Many of the hosts just don't seem to care enough to learn about the products they are hocking. If you can't even say the name correctly, you aren't trying.

So much is mispronounced what's one more? I say that tongue in cheek but it's true. The two letters A and U together is an O sound. Mauve (the color) is not Maave!

I like Rick too, but if he is going to be on air presenting a product the least he can do is get the facts right and that includes pronouncing the name correctly as well as getting the color names correct. Now I gave him a pass regarding the color names because it was the first one-hour presentation for Le Creuset, but heck at least pronounce the brand name right. The hosts spend considerable time preparing for their shows so there really is no excuse.

I could care less if a host mispronounces a name. Maybe someone should point it out after the show, but to crucify him for it is crazy!
