I guess the question is, who is the male host for? Few young guys watch QVC or HSN so I guess dude to dude marketing is out to the 20-35 year old market, and the two Dans seem sufficient for the older crowd. Alberti is very female friendly. These types of retailers don't seem to need much more maleness,considering who shops from television retailers.

Oh, I don't know, I'd probably be at least a bit more inclined to at least check out something in which I have minimal interest, which is pretty much everything the Q televises these days, if the presentations were being made by a more youthful, attractive male than I'm seeing when I tune in only to see RD the blowhard or Dan W... Rick is an instant channel changer for me, no matter what he's selling, and Dan rarely presents anything interesting enough to make me want to endure watching him... A case in point is Dell... I have no interest whatsoever in the brand, but might, say once in a blue moon, watch for a few minutes when their cute vendor is presenting...

I don't watch QVC "on TV" at all, I just watch the online videos. When I see Rick presenting a product, I'm less inclined to keep watching, and to buy.

I don't see any other male hosts, other than occasionally Alberti (who is fine by me). I pretty much only watch jewelry and fashion vids.

They should have kept Dave James. I do like Rick. Alberti should do well; I like Dan Hughes, but don't watch the Morning Show. David is great but talks too fast now and he doesn't need four hour shows. Dan Wheeler is a channel changer for me lately.

In the Q's graveyard ??? {#emotions_dlg.laugh} In their eyes, they are only to be 'remembered' but not to be mentioned again...
