Have already seen Justin, and look forward to his calm and prepared presentations. He was great last Friday for his first two hour solo shift. And I set dvr for shows he has Monday. Have yet to see any others on air but would assume Sam will be right there too coming from Evine and Q UK.

@Pyrite2616,

I see Sam Simmons and John Battagliese on the program guide beginning the week of 10/28 along with Mary Beth.

John should be great!  He is an actor, singer, performer and has starred in touring companies of several Broadway shows.

Two years ago he sang on "The Kelly Clarkson Show" as part of a singing competition.

as much as it is nice to see new faces

I want to know why they need 4 more people will we see shows with 3 hosts and a rep

I do remember when Sam Simmons was a host on Evine (now Shop HQ) I enjoyed watching her.

John,VERY easy on the eyes. And as Mom would say-Italian.

@jackthebear There are always around 3 or 4 new hosts every year. Plus, Stacy and TJ left recently, and Mary Beth will soon too. Also, Jennifer and Kerstin going part time seemed to mess with everyone's schedules as well.

@Dennieee  @jackthebear   Add to that, Vanessa just went out on maternity leave.

But there's more -- QVC is not just on the main channel or even QVC 2 with LIVE shows anymore.  They're doing regularly scheduled live selling on TikTok -- Steve Doss has his LIVE show every Wednesday (sometimes Fridays) on TikTok.  

Hosts are doing a lot of video selling and special presentations of items not shown in shows on QVC's live streaming channel.

QVC is not just the one QVC channel anymore.

[They Call Me MR Wilkes]

Yes, there is an increasing need to create new content for streaming.   No doubt many hosts will be a part of this.

Stacey Tedesco,  Qurate's VP of Streaming announced the renewal of The Busy Philips for a second season due to positive response and success.

Many still view QVC as a single linear cable driven channel, which it most definitely no longer is.  That's in the past, a 30 year old concept.
