He has definitely grown on me. When I first started watching QVC years ago, I found him incredibly rude, and very hyper.

 

I have completely changed my attitude about him. He makes me laugh  and he is very versatile in items that he can present.  I try not to fault him for being enthusiastic about his job. For those of us that are still working, it's nice to be passionate about what you do. 

 

His most important skillset is getting long winded phone callers off the line, in a professional and respectful way.

I've seen Rick in one of his "B" movies he was in long long ago. A change in career path was right for him.

Yes, he can be hyper, but I really like Rick with Valerie.  My favorites with Valerie are Rick and Jayne Brown.  Rick can sell about anything.  Who remembers his QVC soap operas with Joan Rivers, Lisa and I think Dave King.  So funny.

That's someof what I think of Alberti.  I like Rick though.  I feel that he's at least honest.  I don't think ht tells us BS just to sell a product.

Those soap operas were so funny!  😂

 

I don't watch many of the programs Rick hosts, but when I do see him, he cracks me up. He is energetic, but I think that's just part of his sales act.  He gets it; he's selling and he's in on the joke.
