Q Talk

[webbgarner1]

What are some of the funniest oops, bloopers or mistakes you have seen on qvc live? I saw one today during the demonstration of the shark vacume. The rep was vacuming up simulated hair and dust with the tiny detailing wand and a glob of that stuff got stuck in the tiny wand. She said  if it gets  sucked in there and stuck just pull it out. She pulled the" hair" from the tip of the wand but you could see it was still stuck inside, clogged. They cut away from the vacume to another shot as she laid the vacume down and moved on.

I saw Suzzanne Sommers and a host making some smoothies that was a total fail. Suzzanne said we failed at that one, I do not think we put all the liuid in. Love Suzzanne though.

QVC is live tv and things will happen, just like in everyone's life and every job.  I do not see a reason to discuss things that can be out of someone's control.

The only oops moments I’ve seen have actually just been stange noises in the background.....like when someone drops something off camera and it makes a loud noise. I’m always surprised that there aren’t more accidents/bloopers - given that it’s live TV 24/7.

Eons ago Mike Rowe (love that guy!) was doing a computer show in the evening (west coast) so later night where the Q is. An elderly man called in and said he used his computer mostly for watching porn! I thought MIke was gonna lose it, but it was actually hilarious.

Not a "mistake", so to speak, but one time my sister called me to look, and, sure enough, there was a cockroach crawling around on the set (it was a food show).

I know it's live, and all that, but we did chuckle a bit.

There are some real funny moments on you tube.

It is wonderful to laugh!

Because they are funny and some of us like a good laugh. Even the hosts involve laugh and QVC used to regulary share a Blooper Reel.............

It wasn't Mike Rowe it was Rick presenting a Dell computer late at night and the guy called in about the "naughty movies"....it's on You Tube..... But Mike Rowe's presentations are priceless and hilarious they are also on You Tube....

I dont know if the Moderators would allow a posting of the you tube link due to the caller's topic.....

The one I remember wasn't funny at all, it was quite upsetting. LR was showing a ladder and the guy that climbed up to the top of the extension ladder fell off. The camera stayed on him way too long and he wasn't moving. They cut away to Lisa and she was stunned. She kept asking if he was alright. While they had the camera on her the other people there were able to get to him and help him up and off the stage. Lisa finally said he was okay. Not something I want to see again. He really could have been injured badly.

The one that was recent is when a caller was with Leah on AM Style and someone in her house interrupted her to ask a question while she was on the phone with QVC....and the caller said "Can you see I am on the F phone"..........Leah just said yes it is live TV.  

There was one with Bob Bowersox demonstrating a can opener and the caller said he had a mouse problem and the mouse crawled on top of a can he was opening with his old can opener and the mous fell into the can, so he had to get the Lid Lifter Can Opener that Bob was demonstrating...Bob totally ignored what the caller had said and went on demonstrating opening cans.....

There was a Hot In Hollywood one where the vendor asked Shawn if she was bored.(Shawn looked disinterested)..and Shawn sarcastically replied, I was just waiting for you to take a breath so I could ask my producer to order this one for me in a size 2 in tall........

There was one with Dan Wheeler & Oscar demonstrating the Amazon Echo and they were playing a spelling game with Echo and Echo asked Dan to spell words: climb, Dan spelled correctly and Echo said it was wrong, then Dan was asked to spell dinner, Dan spelled it correctly and Echo said he was wrong again.....LOL!
