Re: Please let Kathy Levine host ALONE!

[ Edited ]

Nancy did seem in awe of being in Kathy's presence. To the point of it being humorous. However, when it crosses the line and is no longer professional QVC has a problem with worshiping a former host or other guest. The main reason for a host is to sell product, rather than swoon over another person.

I was uncomfortable watching the show and Kathy also may have felt ill at ease. She was not her usual bubbly self last night, but tried to cover it well. 

 

Perhaps it would be a learning opportunity for Nancy to rewatch the program and critique herself with her QVC mentor?

 

The next program (two hours) Nancy showed marked improvement over past shows IMO. Nancy interacted well with the guests whom she seemed to already know and felt comfortable with. She was relaxed and comfortable with the Q-cards for product information.

 

I also noticed the camera crew works very closely with Nancy to avoid showing any potentially embarrasing shots. KUDOS to them for helping her. "It takes a village."

 

She was able to converse much better than in previous years and has dropped some annoying nervous habits (except "right?" which was in every other sentence). That poor grammar must stop!  If she sits down and counts how many times she asks, "Right?" or speaks to "Fran" rather than her audience, I'm confident she will realize how discombobulated her delivery becomes. Customers need to hear about the products, not her uncertainty of the items or her constant chatter with "Fran" (who is not her customer base).

 

I do think Nancy will find her comfort level eventually, but we've been waiting for how many years for her level of expertise to pique? Two? Maybe more. IDK. She trained with Stacy and Steve, both of whom have easily made their niches on QVC as talented, well-respected hosts with their own shows in areas of their interests.

 

Perhaps Nancy has something the public is unaware of which requires special consideration and QVC is giving her the benefit of the doubt.

 

She seems like a sweet person who means well. I do feel she's trying and I also think most of the other hosts have been doing everything humanly possible to help her "learn the ropes" of QVC's hosting responsibilities. That speaks volumes about everyone on the QVC team and their desire to see Nancy succeed.

 

I plan to continue watching to see her improve. Hopefully, others will join me.  

Money screams; wealth whispers.

Nancy, Stacey Rusch and Steve Doss went on air in July 2022.  The three started at the same time, started in front of the camera at the same time.

Hi..@MarnieRez3. I completely 100% agree w/u. Kathy had interesting stories to tell + sort of got cut off at times by Ms.Yoon.

@KKlim @she's always cutting people off !  I cannot tolerate her !

poor Kathy having to be on with her .  Kathy does not need a co pilot and especially not Nancy !   Let Kathy present alone ,  she was a show host for years and the best the Q has ever had she doesn't need her sitting next to her interrupting!  Please !

What a disaster! I was looking forward to seeing Kathy ALONE since she has so much poise, humor and polish! I was stunned when I saw Nancy Yoon, the least professional host on QVC. I waited a few minutes and when Nancy hardly let Kathy speak, I  turned off the tv. Nancy Yoon has no clue how to feature a guest rather than drown them out. 


@PMal   So Very True !  She really has to go !  She tries to relevant ,but she just isn't  , never stops Yaking.   I thought she'dimprove by now .

I never saw Kathy when she was with the Q, guess I started later. But, man, she must've been tremendous,stupendous with all the high praise she gets. 


@MoJoV   she truly was and Is !  Every Sunday I watched her diamonique shows wether buying or not just to hear Kathy's stories.   She was a riot , and explained everything so throughly which some hosts now could benefit from .  She has Grace , poise and Class !  Can't buy that or learn it .

Nancy doesn't seem comfortable or at ease in front of the camera. I feel like her smiles are forced, and she has to come up with some thing to say that is relevant. I'm sure she's a nice person, but she doesn't seem comfortable hosting. 


@Effie54     she's simply out of her element .

A few examples of the  many, many Kathy Levine solo presentations, with no QVC host, Q2, January 2023 and April 2023:

Everything was "stunning" and "amazing" per Nancy...and as many posters pointed out, Nancy cuts off people constantly. She's an example of someone who doesn't listen, rather she's waiting to talk.
I used to have Kathy's show on automatic taping on my DVR. I cancelled that recording last night.

@MarnieRez3   that's what it is ...."she's waiting to talk ". You nailed it!!

Re: Please let Kathy Levine host ALONE!

Nancy needs to find another line of work.  As a host she is truly dismal.
