Wow, host turnover seems drastic.

I didn't watch much QVC over the past year or so due to family circumstances.  Tuning in hoping for some festive sales.  Wow, has the host landscape ever changed.

 

Really missing the days of the mature and elegant hosts.  Who is this blonde woman with the harsh voice doing the bagel pitch?  And that young man with the really short hair -- he's been on a lot of food and other shows lately -- and a young woman with long hair and a semi-southern accent.  Quite a change.

 

I did see Jane Treacy, Leah and Rick Domier, but no Mary Beth Roe -- has she retired?  Hope not.

 

I'm not that old but somehow the hipsters don't motivate me to buy the way the more professional salespeople do. 

 

I wish the Lisas were still on QVC, and Sharon.  Anybody know where they went?  Does Kathy Levine still have her alternative shopping network?

I fondly remember some of the seasoned veterans that moved on to other things and am happy for them. Several regulars are now on QVC2. Leah, Mary DeAngelis, and Gabrielle to name a few. MaryBeth Roe is a regular on this station, and is recently the proud grandmother of twins. Lisa R. successfully started her own business, and depending on who you talk to, is doing  quite well for herself. She was one of my favorite hosts when she was here.

@SandySparkles  Mary beth’s twin grandchildren are a few years old. They are big brothers to the newest baby. Can’t remember if it is a girl or boy.

You are correct. I got confused😂😂 She was so excited when she made the announcement. As a grandmother, I was so happy for her.The twins are adorable! I can remember when her children were around the age of the twins. The new baby is a boy. My how time flies!

MaryBeth’s newest grandchild is a boy named Nathaniel.

Don’t know whether Lisa Mason is still selling jewelry on one of the shopping channels. Lisa’s husband died earlier this year. Read on these forums that she has since moved back to New York City.

Wow, time flies.  i remember Mary Beth announcing the twins like it was yesterday.  Just saw that Jill Bauer left which is odd because I could've sworn I walked through the room the other day and she was on. 

 

I miss the old days with Harrods, fine jewelry, etc. rather than electronics and housewares.  Still have a beautiful gold ring purchased from QVC about 25 years ago.

Kathy Levine never had a shopping network.  The biggest recent loss was Jill Bauer who quit and has done a couple of small appearances on the Today Show.  The blonde with the loud voice was probably Antonella Nestor, formerly a brunette.   There are many new, younger hosts

Here are the current hosts:

There are four channels. You'll find the "festive sales" you seek on at least one channel at any time.

@LeaLeander I saw jill bauer on Today with hoda and jenna ---she was informative and did a great job explaining the new cookers.  Don't know why the negative comments on her.  Good for her and all women who are so resilient

@tobes.  I don't see any negative comments about Jill.  I think everyone agreed she did a good job although her appearance was very brief.  She was hardly the star of the show.
