Funny, I just found your channel, and enjoyed this video. It was funny to hear you say exactly the same thing that I have done. Namely watch at first (before they were QVC... almost 40 years now) A host would sit at a little desk and present one item at a time. Even rings were presented one size at a time!!! There was no fancy studio with elaborate sets and a functioning kitchen. Anyway, I was drawn in by this new idea of buying something off TV (like shoes and clothes) without ever trying them or feeling them.. But yes, I did and bought way more than I should have over the decades that followed. My all time favorite shows were the 50/50 tours. Now THAT was when I had "watching parties" with girlfriends and we had to coordinate the phone (since we had no cell phones at the time!) So that everyone had a chance to order an item. We had good times and good laughs. Now I am 76 and no longer buy from QVC. Simply because I no longer "need" stuff. I have all that I need and want. But I had lots of fun over the years, and yes, I also felt that some of the hosts were like friends. My fave was Mary Beth Roe. And interestingly, Kirsten Linquist used to work at my local TV station as the weather reporter!!!
Qvc was always Qvc. It purchased CVN which caused some confusion. In July 1989, QVC acquired the Cable Value Network, founded by Irwin L. Jacobs. The $380 million deal contributed to a loss of $17 million during the next fiscal quarter, and then led to difficulties in the couple of years that followed.[12][13][14]
Watched the Q a long time. Ugh, not any more. QVC bought HSN and totally ruined that station as well. If I never heard Jane Treacy’s mouth again, I would be fine. I honestly can’t think of a host on there anymore I can relate too. Carolyn was so down to earth. I always loved Lisa Robertson. She was great with beauty & fashion. Oh well, I am better off not watching it anymore.
I agree about Carolyn & Dan. Carolyn was an wonderful, caring host who knew her stuff. And after being faithful to QVC for so many years, they were let go with no appreciation from QVC for their years of hosting. Things are not the same for sure. I don’t but as much as I did cause the new younger hosts really don’t have the draw or personality to keep me watching. What a stupid move on QVC’s part. And pairing older hosts with younger ones? Doesn’t work for me!
Carolyn couldn't read her cards and was constantly asking the producers to give her product info. She would also go on air without her glasses when she requires glasses to read.
Agree. I've bought some of her clothes. Byt they got so pricey. I don't like tbe way she seems so fake. Sorry. And I had pretty much already quit QVC. After all there's Amazon with free shipping and free returns. I do like that Lori with Logo fashions but very expensive. Made well. My time with QVC is over. I'm very upset about Carolyn being let go. She was my fave. They were treated dirty. Can't stand Shawn either. I too miss Jeanne with quackery factory. Fun times. Now with shein and temu I think QVC will suffer. I will say the stuff is cheaply made. Not a fan of HSN either.
Her and Gary had a great dynamic together. I was however annoyed when they introduced the stuffed squirrel into the show. I think Gary was not comfortable with it either but went along to get along. Anyway, loved Carolyn, and when her and Gary did D&C, it was the best. I have no use for the Q anymore.
Denim and Co is high now..used to could buy a shirt for a twenty dollar bill..a PIECE and there were 2 being sold ..its trying to compete with boutique brands like Belle by Kim gravel.
QVC is killing themselves quite honestly. Their prices have gone sky high. I HATE being lied to also when things are constantly preached to be "on sale"....X amount of our regular price, and so on. I can go back through my packing slips (when I used to actually watch and buy much) and have some prices in print that an item was never, ever sold for what they claim. They jack the prices up, then pretend that the on air price is "a 40% discount off it's normal price of xyz". That infuriates me. Most people who have watched QVC for long enough all know they are lying. It just really bums me out when it is first time buyers who are getting screwed. It is not fun to watch anymore. If you look through the guide of what was shown in a day, there is usually only 5 items per hour. 5! The rest of the time is high pressure sales tactics that is going to eventually crash QVC down. They used to have items that really were sold only on QVC because they would go out on the road to different towns and find really nice handmade stuff that was made well and would last. Like Peterborough baskets for example. I give them some points for trying to compete with the internet but I have found that if I see something I am interested in I can just Google it and 90% of the time I can find it elsewhere for much less than QVC is selling it for. All in all, I am not sure how much longer QVC can hang on. I do not like all the chatter between the hosts (time waster), the quality of their clothes has gone way downhill, and their high prices are just unacceptable. There are millions of cute T-Shirts out there in the world for $20.00, yet QVC seems to have this magic number of "Only $39.95", or jeans much lower than $60+. All I ever see now is clothes, kitchen items that people already have, and more shoes than anyone can ever wear (especially when some are over $100.00). Firing some of the best hosts and keeping the ones that don't have the high salaries did not help them out at all. Last, but not least, I was really hoping the eating during the kitchen shows would not come back. I really don't like watching them eat and rolling their eyes like it is food that is from a 5 star restaurant. Most of the time it is because they are hungry and just keep eating. It adds nothing to the presentation. It was so much better when it was Covid times and they weren't allowed to eat. Geez, my list is long of how disappointed I am in them now. I don't watch it much anymore. If I remember late at night I might skim what was shown during the day but I frequently forget to even do that! One host I enjoy is Mary Beth. She is an original host and she does a great job presenting without going off on tangents. She is so pleasant and warm. She is probably the only host I will stay on the channel and watch if I happen to be flipping the channel.
I agree with every thing you have mentioned, I love Mary Beth and Pat because they explain the inseams and lengths of the blouses etc. We need more to know than colors. Sorry, Caroline and Dan were fired they were truth tellers and were very informative. Some of the women hosts just want to look cute and sexy I miss Caroline !!!
Could not agree more. .... When you have your dog on every showSomething is wrong.....terribly wrong. Then its Someone who died...So please buy this...😳😳😳 This network has paired with HQ. They show the same items for 5 days in a row. Ppl don't appreciate being lied to. Everything is liquid Knit. Liar, Liar pants on fire 🔥 except you can't put anything in the dryer......it will melt. Really bad quality. They screwed ppl over during Covid.....& Now they are paying the price. Leah Williams is my favorite host. I really hate Liars. Can't fake that. Nice piece you've done....👍 I don't care for them anymore either. Pure greed. You can go to Target & do better.
Things are too expensive at qvc. Thin fabric on their clothes and they're expensive and look tight..food are expensive and get bad reviews..and then they send u bad products! I ordered a necklace and it came with several knots in it..there's no excuse for that..I stopped shopping there after this.
Jane is one of the most annoying hosts on the Q. I can no longer watch when she is on anymore. I change the channel the minute I here her voice. All she does is talk and talk and talk. She talks over guests and seems to be on all the time now. Dan and Carolynn should still be on the Q. They were great!!! Jane not so much!
Personally I find Jane more annoying these days. Because she’s always talking over everyone else. I also resent the fact that when selling clothes she claims to be an extra small. I know the camera adds points but how many? Also if she is selling clothes and claims to be an extra small how many people have to return items because they thought an extra small would fit them when looking at her and comparing themselves to her size.
@@evafitzsimmons3407 and awful to look at...Sandra wears tons of hair extensions WHY, SHAWN is a true size 8 or 10 but lies and says she can fit that lowere body into a size2 or 4 what a joke QVC is
I don't watch when Jane or Shawn are hosting. So sick of them talking about their families. ALL of.the hosts talk entirely too much over the product Reps.
They have one host on QVC, Shawn, who is rude, interrupts others all the time, full of herself, I don't watch QVC anymore because of her. She prances around like she owns the place and she's vain to boot.
Can Jane ever do a show without mentioning her daughters? It's so incredibly annoying. So glad they have her on late nights, poor Courtney, but yes, she should've been gone a while back. They need to bring Caroline back.
When they first put Courtney on with Jane, Courtney came across as bored and annoyed with Jane. Then, all of the sudden, Courtney's attitude did a total reversal where she acted like Jane hung the moon and they were besties. I can't help but wonder if she was told to suck up to Jane or she'd lose her spot. (I happen to like Jane)
QVC seems to think it's necessary to partner the older hosts with a younger in order to broaden their audience appeal. Sorry, but young women are not their primary audience and listening to two voices is obnoxious. I miss the days of Pat doing her 18k gold shows with Maria (an older and beautiful model) and Carol. They wore evening gowns and Pat's presentations were informative and terrific. I have a few pieces that I wear and cherish to this day.
I know you keep hearing this but when they fired Caroline and Dan, I was unbelievable surprised! Both were “family” to so many of us…I also love David, Mary and Mark Charles but I have been losing interest lately…I have viewed QVC (and bought) for over thirty years starting with one item…the prices have gone up so drastically now plus adding on s/h and taxes on each item is too much especially to, in some cases, have to send the item back because of poor poor quality, etc…and now most times shipping and handling labels are not enclosed so I even have to go to a postal store to pay to have them print a label where when once received back by QVC, I’m not credited back with the shipping and handling cost…too bad, Amazon is so much better!
I rarely ever watch QVC and I used to be one of their biggest shoppers. I can't stand how callously they've treated their old timers....it's just disgusting. I'll put my money elsewhere.
I call Jane "the elf"....she makes me crazy!! If Jane could do a presentation without mentioning her children, Disney or her dead parents, I might find her more likeable!!!
@@elgallito8252 I talk about my precious cats A LOT who unfortunately have left this world now Adopted at 6 weeks of age & lived to be 17 & 19 years old. They were not just cats but my babies ( children) really & all I had left in this world. Miss them tremendously. Only true animal lovers understand & can relate. Love hearing people share about their furry family members. They are family.
I cannot stand Jane. She seems like such a phoney! She never lets the vendor talk. She’s constantly talking about her daughters so many times I wanted to hear a description of something and she could never describe nothing because she’s too busy talking about herself or her family ,so now when I see her on, I have to turn her off I can’t stand her.
I've never seen Jane Tracey with Susan Graver. But then I can't watch because Susan never quits talking. She and Jane would be horrible together. I think Pat and of course Mary Beth give the show more class and poise than any of the others.
I won't watch J. Tracey because I'm so tired of her saying her age, how long she's been at QVC, personal stories about everything, etc. She never shuts up!!! Also, she bounces around like she's on something and trying to act like she's so young and hip. Good grief. I miss Carolyn Gracie and Dan Hughes. They were so down to earth and relatable. There are six hosts that I won't watch. Four are men and two are redheaded women. Enough said.
Jane never stops talking to the point of being annoying. Poor Courtney seems to just grin and bear it. I totally agree that Jane constantly talks about her family. Enough already. Jane and Shawn Killinger should have been the ones to go! Bring back wonderful Carolyn and Dan. They were the best!!
Not a fan of Jane Tracey. Still getting over the shock of Dan, Carolyn and Antonella being let go. Surprised that Jane is still there. Not only have QVC products dropped in quality and value but also the quality of the hosts.
There was Nancy Hornback a few years ago as well. (from Indiana). She was a sweetie and I was shocked when she was all of a sudden missing, gone, caput.
I like Susan though, I don't hate people for talking all the time, but that's just me. It can be annoying, but she has a really good personality though.
I was an avid QVC customer but the prices are too high now and shipping charges are ridiculous. I feel the quality is poor also. They are obviously trying to capture the woke crowd with their new hosts but they are forgeting all about their base demographic. Dan and Carolyn's release was the last straw for me. Jane should have been let go a long time ago, she is so full of herself and talks non stop about herself and her family to ad nauseum. She does not describe the product at all. How about some details without saying "I'm obsessed, awesome, or I have this. QVC will never be the same, I think they bit off more than they can handle when they bought HSN. Greed will ruin them as now the quality is gone and prices are high to pay for everything. Same old story with every good business!
As a very long time viewer of QVC, I rarely watch anymore as the hosts are nauseating. Sorry, but they need to clean house including Jane and the man who does the cooking show and eats everything in sight. The fashions have extremely downhill and are overpriced.
Jane Tracey drives me crazy when she keeps talking over the product rep. I'm trying to listen to the what the rep says but Jane will talk over them about her daughters (who cares) and their careers. Shawn can be just as bad about interrupting the reps.
For me, it's Ms. Coffey. Not sure she ever grew up. Acts like a 14 year old who is the only one in the room. I haven't watched QVC since Lisa Roberts left. Now there was a prime example of class.
Cant watch it when Jane is on.....when the seller tries to describe the product and how to use it....she interrupts....it has stopped me from buying so many products...actually all of the hosts are starting to be that way....they cant keep quiet and let the seller present their item. Really is stopping me from shopping there.
Carolyn n Dan were rudely dismissed w/o telling.g us goodbye.I feel Jane n Shawn are both so very annoying.When they come on when is too often I turn QVC off Most of newer hosts are not worth watching.Its all bout me me me not the products anymore.
Dan and Carolyn were my favorite hosts - I literally cried when they were let go - I know, it's not like I knew them, but after watching 32 years (Dan was there that whole time) I felt like I did. There is almost no one I can watch anymore, although I still like some of the veterans, and I do think they are trying to go after an audience who is not interested in this kind of shopping, and I'm afraid they will fail. I used to like Jane, even talked to her on air years ago, but she is different now, she is one of, what I call, Shawn's minions, and I don't like watching anyone in that gaggle. Thank you for your videos 😊
A lot of the new hosts scream like teen girls at a pajama party. Jane Tracy is capable, of such screaming. There are times when she can present items quietly and clearly but isn't allowed to do that so often anymore. One of the most annoying things that QVC selling tactics the hosts use is to exclaim how they have personally purchased whatever is being presented. I figure that each host must have storage units to store one, two or three of every single item they present. Over the years that must be a whole lot of stuff!
@@paulawhite5157 lol so true ,,,"thats my jam" who says that now days at her age, plus i believe she is a LIAR , on her size cleary the woman is a size 8 or 10
I don’t care much for QVC anymore. It seems to be geared towards the younger generations and has pushed us Baby Boomers aside. I believe that our generation helped the channel grow into what it is today. I still shop online and I’m happy that so many options are available. I do miss the seasoned hosts, it’s shameful that they have been let go. I didn’t have one favorite, I liked so many of them.
I notice when certain designer are on they have certain host for them like Amy is always with Lori ( who clothes are the same old pieces), I have to say I like to see Amy and Rachel in different outfits those 2 ladies can wear anything and it looks good on them.
Believe me, no one under 50 is watching QVC or HSN. They're running out of customers and products they can make a profit on,which is why they are relying more and more on food items for all of their older audience ordering EZ-pay, auto-ship $85 muffins! Believe me, younger people are not buying their crap.
Kathy sells Nutrisystem she was on HSN a few times. Do you remember years ago when she always flirted with Jeff. Many of us thought something was going on but then he married someone from QVC, named Judy and they divorced.
My friend was working a flight with Joan Rivers.said she was the nicest. Sweetest person ever.Thanked her for everything.not demanding at all.said best celebrity ever..
Anyone remember when Mike Rowe was a host? I don’t think he was there very long, but I enjoyed him. I was glad to see him move on to bigger and better things. Dan was always a favorite of mine, as well as Jill Bauer.
@@deedeimler1025Yes, he was actually fired three times. He was usually on midnight and was so funny to watch. He'd be selling porcelain dolls or some other stupid thing could hardly get through it. They kept bringing him back though. There are QVC videos of him on YT.
I pretty much like all the long time hosts on QVC. I was once addicted to watching QVC but that was many years ago and like you I seldom watch it anymore. I was spending too much money and with Amazon I get free returns. I was very sad to see that Carolyn and Dan had been let go. They were both so friendly and now I keep up with them on Facebook.
I can't watch her anymore, she has a story with everything she sells & yes, she talks way too much about her daughter's. Does anyone believe she has most of the shoes she sells, where on earth would you keep all of them. She also doesn't give the vendors a chance to talk, that's why I can't take her anymore.
Jane talks and Courtney stands and plays with her hair and nails. And if there is wine on the show. She holds her glass all through the show. Like she is standing at a bar at a club.
I used to watch to learn about products. They used to talk about how the vicenza jewelry was made, how the porcelain dolls are made and how you measure their value ,they would do the food recipes from scratch..great way to have a learning day.
I stopped watching QVC because. All my favourite hosts have been fired. I have no interest in watching most if the hosts…….besides that i am really saving money. 😂 . 😂
There once was emphasis on knowing the hosts, their families, that gave a feeling of she/he is like a friend. Remember the Christmas shows, Antonella showing her favorite Italian recipes, etc. Did Dan do a show from his home/barn once? Somewhere I remember seeing his Christmas decorations. I. think it was easier to connect with them. I miss that. But alas, they’re going for a different audience, I don’t think it will prove successful.
I agree with you wholeheartedly. Yes, those Christmas shows were wonderful, and as you say, it brought a certain familiarity and "genuineness" to the whole QVC experience. I have the feeling that those of us who were there at the beginning of the Q, long before they moved to their big studio with all the bells and whistles.... we were their true customers. I seriously doubt that today's young adults watch or shop that way. I do believe that QVC is on the way out... although they merged with other shopping channels and have expanded their reach, the "magic" is gone.
@@irenehaugen6143 They merged only with HSN. I have found HSN to be so much better. Hosts behave properly, and there is no nonsense. Also, like their fashions much better.
Ah interesting, I thought they had also acquired Zulili and a few others. It has been over a year now since I made my last payment to QVC, and I really don't want to get back to TV shopping. @@nancymurzenski1766
Welllll, I watched an episode with Jane Treacy hosting when she shut down a Product Rep who was describing how to apply makeup. She not only shut her down, she shut her down abruptly and awkwardly, citing "running out of time." But no, then Jane went on to talk about how she, Jane, experienced the product as she got ready in her dressing room. That's when I surmised that there is "stuff" going on behind the scenes, that Jane competes hard for her standing, that there might be product reps "in the wings" threatening the older hosts. Just my speculating of course, but I will say, it was quite obvious that, when Jane is hosting, look out anyone who is in the vicinity, Jane will not tolerate you taking any attention 😂😂
I absolutely can’t stand Jane!! She needs to go. I feel like the people who were fired is because of Jane. About a month ago, Jane was talking about her daughters and she said something like “people think I’m nice but I am not”… yep, she said exactly what I thought about her.
yeah she looks bad,,,she is not a runner with that body its a lie her hair always looks dirty and matted and who care about her kids they are pushing 30 years old JANE need to cut the apron strings... her marriage must be lacking
I turn the channel whenever Jane Tracey comes on. She is rude to the presenters and talks over them. And I am so tired of hearing about her daughter and doing a marathon.
Like you, the QVC gave me companionship and significantly helped me go to sleep at night. Jane is alright but can be obnoxious at times. However, I can believe that Courtney Khondabi is still there, obnoxious times three, and Shawn is a pusher in selling; what a fake. I don't watch QVC anymore, I don't like the new hosts, and it has become boring. I miss Antonella, Dan, Carolynn, and Jeanne Bice, but I miss Joan Rivers the most.
I quit watching HER after her and Rick had a show together challenging Irish and America things…she grabbed the American flags out of Rick’s hand and threw it on the ground behind her…on the ground with NO respect at all…it was offensive…AND we live in America no matter what our ancestry! She was very RUDE about it!
@@sharonswiatek5198 Years ago she said she met her husband Sean there as he was a camera man. I don't know where they got the executive stuff. Her girls are also not twins. Jane left for one year after she had the second daughter to be a mom at home.
Been a QVC customer since the beginning, and haven’t been able to watch Jane for years now. Besides QVC’s quality control going downhill, most of the hosts are intolerable to watch. I miss the days when products were described in detail, with very little annoying and irrelevant endless commentary. FYI, Jane’s daughters are not twins as stated, but have six years between them. Also, it’s Cara, not Clara.
I remember when Shawnee Sue( God what an awful name) told Josie Maran “ Honey you’re not making any sense” Well Josie ie worth millions so she knows what she’s doing Shawnee Sue.
Jane Treacy's daughters are not twins. She left QVC when she had her younger daughter to be a stay at home mother but returned a few years later. I do not care for her any more since she co-hosts with Courtney. She tries to act like a young girl instead of her age. I agree that I'm tired of hearing about her daughters. I no longer watch due to the firing of Dan and Carolyn and do not like alot of the newer hosts. In regards to Dan and Carolyn not having a proper "send off', nobody gets one when they are fired from a job. Only when they have chosen to leave.
I totally agree with what you say. Caroline was my favorite part. So many of the other hosts seem phoney. Dan as well, always seemed very honest. If he said the quality was good, it was!
I don’t understand why Jane is still there, they really push her to be on everything! She is not a favorite because of it seems she is a ME, ME, ME! I wish Carolyn was still there, also Dan! We regret she came back!
I stopped watching 12 years ago, once Shawn became a host, and Jane I couldn’t watch her another day, her daughters, her parents ENOUGH she graded on my nerves
I was floored when I heard that got rid of Carolyn Gracie. There were others I feel should have got the axe before her or Dan. I'm not a fan of Alberti. No particular reason other then he's boring. Do you remember the really pretty woman that was a jokester and she left to do her own thing? I forget her name. I wasnt overly fond of her either. Why did they let the host go that had been there forever and yet keep hiring new people??
She had to leave qvc because she was being stalked by 2 stalkers! One of them stopped by another hostess home to ask where Lisa was. At that point,Lisa had no choice but to leave. She actually testified at both trials and one of them was jailed. She had to go into hiding until then,that is why she disappeared
My favorite host of all times was Kathy Levine. There hasn't been anyone since who could ever fill her shoes. I really watch very little QVC now so I am not too familiar with the newer hosts. I do know that when I was still watching the host named Amy drove me crazy. If she was on it was an instant channel changer for me. I know that many loved Lisa Mason because they believed that she was the most genuine but I always felt that her fondness for saying if you can't afford it I don't want you to buy it was her particular shtick. Let's be honest, like all of the hosts she was there to get you to buy. Her career with QVC depended on it. I did enjoy watching Jane Treacy during my time of QVC addiction but I haven't seen her in a long time so I can't comment on her behavior. Now I just go to their website to see what they are offering but most times I have no interest in purchasing. I often wish I had some of the money back that I spent with QVC when it was still a novelty.
Yes a million times YES!! Kathy was the BEST of the best. And when she was on with Joan Rivers it was like Comedy central!! Never had better TV!!! And the sales were through the roof during those episodes. Even during that epic 7 minute non-stop giggle fest, if you recall that one! I have never laughed so much in a one hour period as watching these two Yentas. What a joy. Of course I have Kathy's books and they were ever so funny and enjoyable to read.
@@irenehaugen6143 Yes - Kathy and Joan were the best. In the past, there was HUMOR - today, it's fast-talking hosts selling the same stuff over and over and over. Stopped watching a few years ago. Carolyn and Dan --- QVC - you've reached new lows!!!!
I also used to shop QVC! Just occasionally now! The glamour is gone! The products are very pricey and I have found the quality is not there! Miss the old days also when the hosts were fun and the shows were interesting! Loved the jewelry when it was affordable! Now the products seem to be mostly on the casual side and forever athletic shoes! Miss the friendliness of the whole atmosphere, now it seems it is all business!.
Couldn't stand Jill Bauer she was arrogant though I don't watch QVC very much any more . They've gone down hill since they merged with HSN. As for Jane Tracy she's more into herself and her family then the products she supposed to be selling. Also can't stand when she starts about Disney, come on grow up Disney is overrated it's also too woke for me.
It's true about Jane Tracy. I was watching once when QVC was selling laptops. She ( Jane) would not let the seller talk about the laptop. She talked over her. The seller wouldn't come back the rest of the day.
I’d like to know the reasoning behind letting the seasoned hosts go who are doing a great job and then hiring these people who are living in some far away world somewhere. I mean, their personalities are crazy and annoying. Stupid comments and not familiar with items are a huge turn off. So I don’t watch like I used to. I did the same as you did, have them on just for company. Not now. They cut off their nose to spite their face in my opinion.😊
The same reason why they let older employees go in any business!! MONEY!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The older hosts are probably getting a boatload of money, and with the newer and younger hosts, they don't have to pay them as much money.
@@ProudKansan08 You’re probably right, I didn’t think of that at the time! It’s a shame to let people go who have a devoted following and in my mind who sell more because they are trusted. But money talks , right!🤦♀️🤷♀️
I liked Jane when she used to host the Silver Sunday show. Now she has morphed into an annoying talking head who is way too perky. I used to like Shawn too but she seems full of herself now. I like Mary DeAngelo but don’t really watch 1VC anymore.
I watch QVC for background noise just like you used to do. The one thing that bugs me about Jane is that she wears clothes that are too small for her, it just looks terrible. I mean you are suppose to be modeling these clothes and your making them look awful. Just size up Jane, you are not a small.
Most of them wear at least a size smaller than they should - they look awful with fabric pulling and hugging the butt area. Also, the upper arm areas are too snug as well. It’s not an effective way to sell clothing as it makes the garments look cheap and poorly designed.
My favorite past host was always Kathy Levine.....I haven't shopped QVC in years as well for the same reason, to much spending lol I'm sad to hear Jean Bice from Quacker Factory is no longer with QVC I really liked her whimsical clothing line, pricey but very cute!!! Also surprised Jane isn't going by Rudolph Tracy any longer 😮 well thanks for sharing the tea and have a great day 😊
My favorite host is Mary Beth Roe! I turn the channel as soon as the food comes on! I don't plan to buy, except cheesecake, so I will not watch food. It is like watching paint dry! Jane's daughters are not twins. The older hosts always seem to have more style and knowledge. I am guessing that they don't pay the newer hosts as much as they paid the older hosts in the beginning. I think that recently with the newer ones that they have made a few really poor choices. It all goes down to the money. The new prices are unbelievable and I don't plan to pay the higher prices. Thanks for the video and information!
I should come over and teach you how to make a New York cheesecake in your food processor. One,two and three-done. Buying one for $50 is just not necessary. It will cost you 3x 8 0unces of cream cheese to prepare one yourself. Add some strawberries to bring it over the top ! Come on, try it please !
@bgueberdenteich5206 Just saw the other day that Carolyn and Gary Gobin are planning to do something together. You may be seeing them soon. It was on You Tube.
How often did you buy anything from Carolyn and Dan? They wouldn't have been let go if they were bringing in the sales. A lot of their fan base just tuned in to watch - not buy.
Mike Rowe(the Dirty Jobs guy) was a QVC host back in the 90's. he never got off of the overnight shift and he ultimately was let go because he always made fun of the products. he sometimes talks about his QVC days on his podcast
I’m the same. For 30 years I’ve watched QVC. Bc of you I’ve been watching Antonella who I missed from QVC. Mary Beth is still there and is very sweet. What is with JACKIE? She’s been there forever but is only on air like maybe 4 x a month if that. I don’t know her last name but she is lighter skin black. She’s boring and just not interesting at all. They never have her paring with other QVC hosts ever. That is weird. It’s like no one wants to collab with her? Give us what u know about this. QVC has been a big part of my life sad to say bc I’ve lived alone most of my life and had an addiction to shopping. When they invented home tv shopping I thought wow I’m loving this. In retrospect not so great bc my debt with QVC was skyrocketing. I’m more aware today but still love to shop. I appreciate you covering them. Also didn’t u mention someone being fired from HSN. I believe the name is Shannon. If I’m correct isn’t she the one who always did the Andrew Lessman Vitamin shows. Bc u mentioned it I started looking at HSN and who was missing. I believe it’s her and she was always very sweet and down to earth. Sad they seem to get rid of the very warm and sweet hosts. She was the only one there I watched bc I liked her and Andrew Lessman vitamins. He’s never there anymore either.
Layoffs usually don't come with a party, no matter how long you've been with a company. And it's pretty awkward to have a sendoff for someone who isn't choosing to leave. I think all the long-time hosts are pretty close, and they'll do something for Dan and Carolyn privately.
Hmm. Jane. Enjoyed her in the past. But now she just seems to act like she knows more than the rep. or more than Courtney. Too yappy, just stay calm and let other people get a word in. I just usually flip the station unless Courtney is on. So girl , calm down.
They made a mistake letting Lisa Robertson go and Antonella. Lisa has really done well and for what they did to Antonella I wouldn’t buy anything from them. We the viewers have taken care of them both.
When Jane sells clothing she needs to let everyone know what hip size she is so we can order accordingly. I have seen size small models and Jane is much larger than she states. Jane likes to talk as if she is better than everyone and needs to get over her self.
Many of the QVC hosts think they're celebrities. NO THEY ARE NOT. They're sales clerks no different from a Dilliards, Macy's or Nordstrom sales associates. Just because their venue is television doesn't make them special. Rick Domeir should had been canned years ago.
QVC use to be good,not any more. They should change their name to Food Network 2,then the powers that be wonder why they are losing money,duh. The prices they charge for bagels is a disgrace. I can go to an upscale grocery store here in New Jersey and pay less
If I see that fake Alberti and the girl he's always with, I change the channel. I hope they read this comment and switch up the line up because that food is crazy expensive. Who will buy a $4 hot dog? Really? At least have a not so fake host present it. They also need to be more in depth with ingredients and offer organic goods. That Davids cookies is nothing but sugar, high fructose corn syrup, GMO flour and chemicals. Yuk.
I do agree I change the channel when certain hosts are on. Most of them are the newer, younger hosts. It’s my personal opinion and I am a consumer. I used to buy a lot more from QVC; not now.
Funny, I just found your channel, and enjoyed this video. It was funny to hear you say exactly the same thing that I have done. Namely watch at first (before they were QVC... almost 40 years now) A host would sit at a little desk and present one item at a time. Even rings were presented one size at a time!!! There was no fancy studio with elaborate sets and a functioning kitchen. Anyway, I was drawn in by this new idea of buying something off TV (like shoes and clothes) without ever trying them or feeling them.. But yes, I did and bought way more than I should have over the decades that followed. My all time favorite shows were the 50/50 tours. Now THAT was when I had "watching parties" with girlfriends and we had to coordinate the phone (since we had no cell phones at the time!) So that everyone had a chance to order an item. We had good times and good laughs. Now I am 76 and no longer buy from QVC. Simply because I no longer "need" stuff. I have all that I need and want. But I had lots of fun over the years, and yes, I also felt that some of the hosts were like friends. My fave was Mary Beth Roe. And interestingly, Kirsten Linquist used to work at my local TV station as the weather reporter!!!
Qvc was always Qvc. It purchased CVN which caused some confusion. In July 1989, QVC acquired the Cable Value Network, founded by Irwin L. Jacobs. The $380 million deal contributed to a loss of $17 million during the next fiscal quarter, and then led to difficulties in the couple of years that followed.[12][13][14]
@@flashner99 Thanks for the clarification.
I also LOVED the "50 in 50 Tour"!!! My Mom and I would schedule our lives around that show!!! Cancel plans and change work hours to watch! :)
Not a fan of Kirstin.
Watched the Q a long time. Ugh, not any more. QVC bought HSN and totally ruined that station as well. If I never heard Jane Treacy’s mouth again, I would be fine. I honestly can’t think of a host on there anymore I can relate too. Carolyn was so down to earth. I always loved Lisa Robertson. She was great with beauty & fashion. Oh well, I am better off not watching it anymore.
Mally is a mess. Always acts like she's drunk...
wash her face and run screaming
Omg. You are so right on Mally. Liked her at first. Now she's just a hyper mess.
she quacks like a duck and even tho i love makeup she needs to wash her face@@valerie8223 and get modern with a woman her age
I agree about Carolyn & Dan. Carolyn was an wonderful, caring host who knew her stuff. And after being faithful to QVC for so many years, they were let go with no appreciation from QVC for their years of hosting. Things are not the same for sure. I don’t but as much as I did cause the new younger hosts really don’t have the draw or personality to keep me watching. What a stupid move on QVC’s part. And pairing older hosts with younger ones? Doesn’t work for me!
from what I saw, Carolyn was having a hard time on qvc,,,maybe onset demitica
Carolyn couldn't read her cards and was constantly asking the producers to give her product info. She would also go on air without her glasses when she requires glasses to read.
I can’t stand Susan Graver. She talks over everyone and never stops.
yes and her clothes are crap
Agree!
Agree totally 😂
I agree. She constantly interrupts & I hate it when she just talks & talks!!!
Agree. I've bought some of her clothes. Byt they got so pricey. I don't like tbe way she seems so fake. Sorry. And I had pretty much already quit QVC. After all there's Amazon with free shipping and free returns. I do like that Lori with Logo fashions but very expensive. Made well. My time with QVC is over. I'm very upset about Carolyn being let go. She was my fave. They were treated dirty. Can't stand Shawn either. I too miss Jeanne with quackery factory. Fun times. Now with shein and temu I think QVC will suffer. I will say the stuff is cheaply made. Not a fan of HSN either.
After Lisa Robertson left, QVC went down. No other host could ever hold a candle to Lisa. Lisa was gorgeous and classy.
I just loved Lisa. I loved her Christmas shows especially. Actually I loved all her shows, no matter what she was selling.
And Lisa Mason
Lisa was my favorite after Kathy Levine left.
sorry but even Lisa R has aged and put on weight
@@lindaevans8804
Did Lisa Mason have a husband named Gino, that rode a Harley?
Carolyn made Denim and company ! She was the best !
Her and Gary had a great dynamic together. I was however annoyed when they introduced the stuffed squirrel into the show. I think Gary was not comfortable with it either but went along to get along. Anyway, loved Carolyn, and when her and Gary did D&C, it was the best. I have no use for the Q anymore.
Oh and the flowers ! Cottage farms? Loved them😢

@@jessicafox9739 When our girl cat gets an attitude, we say that she has a cattitude. Thanks for making me giggle. Have a great day/evening. :-)
Denim and Co is high now..used to could buy a shirt for a twenty dollar bill..a PIECE and there were 2 being sold ..its trying to compete with boutique brands like Belle by Kim gravel.
QVC is killing themselves quite honestly. Their prices have gone sky high. I HATE being lied to also when things are constantly preached to be "on sale"....X amount of our regular price, and so on. I can go back through my packing slips (when I used to actually watch and buy much) and have some prices in print that an item was never, ever sold for what they claim. They jack the prices up, then pretend that the on air price is "a 40% discount off it's normal price of xyz". That infuriates me. Most people who have watched QVC for long enough all know they are lying. It just really bums me out when it is first time buyers who are getting screwed. It is not fun to watch anymore. If you look through the guide of what was shown in a day, there is usually only 5 items per hour. 5! The rest of the time is high pressure sales tactics that is going to eventually crash QVC down. They used to have items that really were sold only on QVC because they would go out on the road to different towns and find really nice handmade stuff that was made well and would last. Like Peterborough baskets for example. I give them some points for trying to compete with the internet but I have found that if I see something I am interested in I can just Google it and 90% of the time I can find it elsewhere for much less than QVC is selling it for. All in all, I am not sure how much longer QVC can hang on. I do not like all the chatter between the hosts (time waster), the quality of their clothes has gone way downhill, and their high prices are just unacceptable. There are millions of cute T-Shirts out there in the world for $20.00, yet QVC seems to have this magic number of "Only $39.95", or jeans much lower than $60+. All I ever see now is clothes, kitchen items that people already have, and more shoes than anyone can ever wear (especially when some are over $100.00). Firing some of the best hosts and keeping the ones that don't have the high salaries did not help them out at all. Last, but not least, I was really hoping the eating during the kitchen shows would not come back. I really don't like watching them eat and rolling their eyes like it is food that is from a 5 star restaurant. Most of the time it is because they are hungry and just keep eating. It adds nothing to the presentation. It was so much better when it was Covid times and they weren't allowed to eat. Geez, my list is long of how disappointed I am in them now. I don't watch it much anymore. If I remember late at night I might skim what was shown during the day but I frequently forget to even do that! One host I enjoy is Mary Beth. She is an original host and she does a great job presenting without going off on tangents. She is so pleasant and warm. She is probably the only host I will stay on the channel and watch if I happen to be flipping the channel.
I agree with every thing you have mentioned, I love Mary Beth and Pat because they explain the inseams and lengths of the blouses etc. We need more to know than colors. Sorry, Caroline and Dan were fired they were truth tellers and were very informative. Some of the women hosts just want to look cute and sexy I miss Caroline
!!!
Ditto!
Could not agree more. ....
When you have your dog on every showSomething is wrong.....terribly wrong.
Then its Someone who died...So please buy this...😳😳😳
This network has paired with HQ.
They show the same items for 5 days in a row.
Ppl don't appreciate being lied to.
Everything is liquid Knit.
Liar, Liar pants on fire 🔥 except you can't put anything in the dryer......it will melt. Really bad quality.
They screwed ppl over during Covid.....& Now they are paying the price.
Leah Williams is my favorite host.
I really hate Liars.
Can't fake that.
Nice piece you've done....👍
I don't care for them anymore either.
Pure greed.
You can go to Target & do better.
Things are too expensive at qvc. Thin fabric on their clothes and they're expensive and look tight..food are expensive and get bad reviews..and then they send u bad products! I ordered a necklace and it came with several knots in it..there's no excuse for that..I stopped shopping there after this.
QVC is now selling Hanes 🤭 but they are cheaper at Walmart 😂
I used to watch qvc everyday..i haven't watched it in 7 yrs..Antonella was one of my favorites..now i watch her from her boat...still like her...alot
antonella is pimping her stuff with lisa robertson,,,,,asking for gofundme money A FRAUD
Yup loved Antonella, had the best manicure ever
Jane is one of the most annoying hosts on the Q. I can no longer watch when she is on anymore. I change the channel the minute I here her voice. All she does is talk and talk and talk. She talks over guests and seems to be on all the time now.
Dan and Carolynn should still be on the Q. They were great!!! Jane not so much!
Are you sure you aren't talking about RICK Doemeyer.
jane says she is 61,,, she looks 67,,,,and her body is gross, she claims she is a runner,,,lol right
Hey lady leave Rick alone Rick and Shawn the best now on QVC
Guess QVC doesn't listen to any customer that has a complaint about a host.
Shawn is obnoxious.I turn her off right away
Personally I find Jane more annoying these days. Because she’s always talking over everyone else. I also resent the fact that when selling clothes she claims to be an extra small. I know the camera adds points but how many? Also if she is selling clothes and claims to be an extra small how many people have to return items because they thought an extra small would fit them when looking at her and comparing themselves to her size.
and her face
and janes hair looks awful all matted up....like she never washes it
She should realize she is not young and attractive
@@evafitzsimmons3407 and awful to look at...Sandra wears tons of hair extensions WHY, SHAWN is a true size 8 or 10 but lies and says she can fit that lowere body into a size2 or 4 what a joke QVC is
Jane! I used to love her old silver style show. But, she always talks about herself and her social status and her daughters.
I don't watch when Jane or Shawn are hosting. So sick of them talking about their families. ALL of.the hosts talk entirely too much over the product Reps.
They have one host on QVC, Shawn, who is rude, interrupts others all the time, full of herself, I don't watch QVC anymore because of her. She prances around like she owns the place and she's vain to boot.
yep like she owns the place no wonder she was fired from all her jobs...qvc is next..
She must have slept her way to the top. Or has some dirt on one of the QVC bosses. She would've been fired anywhere else.
Agree
Plus her hair is always a mess, & those GLASSES.
She does prance around like she owns the place..
Can Jane ever do a show without mentioning her daughters? It's so incredibly annoying. So glad they have her on late nights, poor Courtney, but yes, she should've been gone a while back. They need to bring Caroline back.
Or the cat.
I am so sick of hearing about her daughters! She’s so obnoxious!!
When they first put Courtney on with Jane, Courtney came across as bored and annoyed with Jane. Then, all of the sudden, Courtney's attitude did a total reversal where she acted like Jane hung the moon and they were besties. I can't help but wonder if she was told to suck up to Jane or she'd lose her spot. (I happen to like Jane)
I prefer Courtney over Jane!
Jane gives me a headache. She never comes up for air..
Susan Graver is obnoxious! Her voice goes right through me!
And her clothes are so ugly and old fashioned!
QVC seems to think it's necessary to partner the older hosts with a younger in order to broaden their audience appeal. Sorry, but young women are not their primary audience and listening to two voices is obnoxious.
I miss the days of Pat doing her 18k gold shows with Maria (an older and beautiful model) and Carol. They wore evening gowns and Pat's presentations were informative and terrific. I have a few pieces that I wear and cherish to this day.
Now some of the host dress sloppy even wearing holes in their jeans.
I know you keep hearing this but when they fired Caroline and Dan, I was unbelievable surprised! Both were “family” to so many of us…I also love David, Mary and Mark Charles but I have been losing interest lately…I have viewed QVC (and bought) for over thirty years starting with one item…the prices have gone up so drastically now plus adding on s/h and taxes on each item is too much especially to, in some cases, have to send the item back because of poor poor quality, etc…and now most times shipping and handling labels are not enclosed so I even have to go to a postal store to pay to have them print a label where when once received back by QVC, I’m not credited back with the shipping and handling cost…too bad, Amazon is so much better!
Amazon is unbeatable❤
Love David.. he is a great host.
I rarely ever watch QVC and I used to be one of their biggest shoppers. I can't stand how callously they've treated their old timers....it's just disgusting. I'll put my money elsewhere.
I call Jane "the elf"....she makes me crazy!! If Jane could do a presentation without mentioning her children, Disney or her dead parents, I might find her more likeable!!!
My husband calls her "The Pixie". We don't watch her either. David and Mary are the only ones worth watching
Don't forget the cat!
@@elgallito8252 I talk about my precious cats A LOT who unfortunately have left this world now Adopted at 6 weeks of age & lived to be 17 & 19 years old. They were not just cats but my babies ( children) really & all I had left in this world. Miss them tremendously. Only true animal lovers understand & can relate. Love hearing people share about their furry family members. They are family.
Don’t care for Jane, don’t watch her sales pitch’s.
lol her girls are approaching 30 now she talks like the are 15
Antonella and Lisa Robertson were the absolute best.
When Lisa Robertson had her "luxury" shows OMG they were the most beautiful items! I don't know why she left but QVC has never been the same.
I cannot stand Jane. She seems like such a phoney! She never lets the vendor talk. She’s constantly talking about her daughters so many times I wanted to hear a description of something and she could never describe nothing because she’s too busy talking about herself or her family ,so now when I see her on, I have to turn her off I can’t stand her.
I've never seen Jane Tracey with Susan Graver. But then I can't watch because Susan never quits talking. She and Jane would be horrible together. I think Pat and of course Mary Beth give the show more class and poise than any of the others.
and she looks bad, who would buy make up or clothes from her,,,she calimes she is a runner , yeah right to big to be a runner
Agree she is so boring and she never shut up she talks over everyone its like she has to have the last word.
I won't watch J. Tracey because I'm so tired of her saying her age, how long she's been at QVC, personal stories about everything, etc. She never shuts up!!! Also, she bounces around like she's on something and trying to act like she's so young and hip. Good grief. I miss Carolyn Gracie and Dan Hughes. They were so down to earth and relatable. There are six hosts that I won't watch. Four are men and two are redheaded women. Enough said.
Omg! I thought I was the only one who felt that way about Jane! She’s totally obnoxious!
Please let Jane go .. she never shuts up.
Talk to much 😂😂😂😂😂😂 Driving me so CRAZY 😜 😂😂😂😂
I agree can't watch her
most of the hosts overtalk it's rude and annoying dont watch her or SHAWN YUK
Jane never stops talking to the point of being annoying. Poor Courtney seems to just grin and bear it. I totally agree that Jane constantly talks about her family. Enough already. Jane and Shawn Killinger should have been the ones to go!
Bring back wonderful Carolyn and Dan. They were the best!!
Not a fan of Jane Tracey. Still getting over the shock of Dan, Carolyn and Antonella being let go. Surprised that Jane is still there. Not only have QVC products dropped in quality and value but also the quality of the hosts.
There was Nancy Hornback a few years ago as well. (from Indiana). She was a sweetie and I was shocked when she was all of a sudden missing, gone, caput.
Antonella left QVC she was sick with cancer but is doing better now she was so funny 😂
Definition of a host, TALK, TALK, TALK. And when they talk at super sonic speed i wanna cry. Susan Graver is the worse. SHE NEVER SHUTS UP!
She loves hearing herself talk. Her ego doesn't stop.
I like Susan though, I don't hate people for talking all the time, but that's just me. It can be annoying, but she has a really good personality though.
They have adhd.. the hosts and the guests do
She says the same things over and over and over...I agree she doesn't shut up and I stopped watching her show awhile ago.
Worst, not worse.
I don’t care for Jane either. I find the quality of the program has gone down, and I don’t like the way the hostesses dress. They seam to be sloppy.
I agree, I wish they'd bring back the makeup and hair people
@@cathialford9604 If I see another wrinkle cream over $100.00 I am going to scream, the few times I channel hopped
Yeah they are always in pajamas.
They're sloppy. And u can't spell. Seem is no seam.
Jane treacy is obnoxious
I was an avid QVC customer but the prices are too high now and shipping charges are ridiculous. I feel the quality is poor also. They are obviously trying to capture the woke crowd with their new hosts but they are forgeting all about their base demographic. Dan and Carolyn's release was the last straw for me. Jane should have been let go a long time ago, she is so full of herself and talks non stop about herself and her family to ad nauseum. She does not describe the product at all. How about some details without saying "I'm obsessed, awesome, or I have this. QVC will never be the same, I think they bit off more than they can handle when they bought HSN.
Greed will ruin them as now the quality is gone and prices are high to pay for everything.
Same old story with every good business!
As a very long time viewer of QVC, I rarely watch anymore as the hosts are nauseating. Sorry, but they need to clean house including Jane and the man who does the cooking show and eats everything in sight. The fashions have extremely downhill and are overpriced.
Jane Tracey drives me crazy when she keeps talking over the product rep. I'm trying to listen to the what the rep says but Jane will talk over them about her daughters (who cares) and their careers. Shawn can be just as bad about interrupting the reps.
Oh they do interrupt the reps so unrespectful..
Can't stand either one. 😒
Never been a fan of Jane either. She think the show is about her and what she does. All the good hosts Are gone now. You have to ask yourself why!!
Jane thinks always thinks it's all about her.
For me, it's Ms. Coffey. Not sure she ever grew up. Acts like a 14 year old who is the only one in the room. I haven't watched QVC since Lisa Roberts left. Now there was a prime example of class.
Cant watch it when Jane is on.....when the seller tries to describe the product and how to use it....she interrupts....it has stopped me from buying so many products...actually all of the hosts are starting to be that way....they cant keep quiet and let the seller present their item. Really is stopping me from shopping there.
She never lets anyone talk.
Carolyn n Dan were rudely dismissed w/o telling.g us goodbye.I feel Jane n Shawn are both so very annoying.When they come on when is too often I turn QVC off
Most of newer hosts are not worth watching.Its all bout me me me not the products anymore.
Dan and Carolyn were my favorite hosts - I literally cried when they were let go - I know, it's not like I knew them, but after watching 32 years (Dan was there that whole time) I felt like I did. There is almost no one I can watch anymore, although I still like some of the veterans, and I do think they are trying to go after an audience who is not interested in this kind of shopping, and I'm afraid they will fail. I used to like Jane, even talked to her on air years ago, but she is different now, she is one of, what I call, Shawn's minions, and I don't like watching anyone in that gaggle. Thank you for your videos 😊
I cannot watch Shawn. She tries to be so cool and never looks stylish.
@@paulawhite5157 agreed, I just can't watch her either!
A lot of the new hosts scream like teen girls at a pajama party. Jane Tracy is capable, of such screaming. There are times when she can present items quietly and clearly but isn't allowed to do that so often anymore.
One of the most annoying things that QVC selling tactics the hosts use is to exclaim how they have personally purchased whatever is being presented. I figure that each host must have storage units to store one, two or three of every single item they present. Over the years that must be a whole lot of stuff!
Jane is a mess. Bad eye make-up and she never shuts up. How anyone can stand that woman is totally beyond me.
@@paulawhite5157 lol so true ,,,"thats my jam" who says that now days at her age, plus i believe she is a LIAR , on her size cleary the woman is a size 8 or 10
I don’t care much for QVC anymore. It seems to be geared towards the younger generations and has pushed us Baby Boomers aside. I believe that our generation helped the channel grow into what it is today. I still shop online and I’m happy that so many options are available. I do miss the seasoned hosts, it’s shameful that they have been let go. I didn’t have one favorite, I liked so many of them.
I notice when certain designer are on they have certain host for them like Amy is always with Lori ( who clothes are the same old pieces), I have to say I like to see Amy and Rachel in different outfits those 2 ladies can wear anything and it looks good on them.
Sally, such a classy response. I agree wholeheartedly with your message.
And yet other people say qvc panders to older people too often.
Believe me, no one under 50 is watching QVC or HSN. They're running out of customers and products they can make a profit on,which is why they are relying more and more on food items for all of their older audience ordering EZ-pay, auto-ship $85 muffins! Believe me, younger people are not buying their crap.
Shawn Killenger can go as far as I am concerned. I don't like her at all .
Anytime now. Waiting for her to literally be gone..
Also, Kathy Levin, especially when she was on with Joan Rivers. They were so entertaining together.
Kathy sells Nutrisystem she was on HSN a few times. Do you remember years ago when she always flirted with Jeff. Many of us thought something was going on but then he married someone from QVC, named Judy and they divorced.
I miss Joan Rivers so much 😢

Mike Rowe said he was fired several times from QVC. I'm glad he has been so successful since then, he was one of my favorites and Kathy Levin.
@@deedeimler1025Yes, he was actually fired three times. He was usually on midnight and was so funny to watch. He'd be selling porcelain dolls or some other stupid thing could hardly get through it. They kept bringing him back though. There are QVC videos of him on YT.
I pretty much like all the long time hosts on QVC. I was once addicted to watching QVC but that was many years ago and like you I seldom watch it anymore. I was spending too much money and with Amazon I get free returns. I was very sad to see that Carolyn and Dan had been let go. They were both so friendly and now I keep up with them on Facebook.
I can see why letting Carolyn go .she's trailer park.
Dan wheeler was such a nice man. Left when his wife died
Why is Jane still there? I turn the channel
When she is on. Silly women.
I can't watch her anymore, she has a story with everything she sells & yes, she talks way too much about her daughter's. Does anyone believe she has most of the shoes she sells, where on earth would you keep all of them. She also doesn't give the vendors a chance to talk, that's why I can't take her anymore.
I hope those shoes are uncomfortable..they sure look so.
I don’t watch it much anymore. I don’t like the new, young hosts. They are mostly obnoxious. I want Carolyn back.
I can’t stand Jane or Courtney.
Jane talks and Courtney stands and plays with her hair and nails. And if there is wine on the show. She holds her glass all through the show. Like she is standing at a bar at a club.
If Dan and Carolyn got the boot, so should Jane T. She and Courtney are so sickening, I turn off my TV whenever they are on.

I used to watch to learn about products. They used to talk about how the vicenza jewelry was made, how the porcelain dolls are made and how you measure their value ,they would do the food recipes from scratch..great way to have a learning day.
Jane is starting to look really rough. And Shoe Shopping is not at all like it used to be.

@barbaraweber3084 you're thinking of Mary DeAngelis. Mary Beth Rowe is another host.
She's hardly ever on air anymore, but I like her too.
She's been there since the CVN days. The longest host there. I believe Dan was also a original.
I stopped watching QVC because. All my favourite hosts have been fired. I have no interest in watching most if the hosts…….besides that i am really saving money. 😂
. 😂
There once was emphasis on knowing the hosts, their families, that gave a feeling of she/he is like a friend. Remember the Christmas shows, Antonella showing her favorite Italian recipes, etc. Did Dan do a show from his home/barn once? Somewhere I remember seeing his Christmas decorations. I. think it was easier to connect with them. I miss that. But alas, they’re going for a different audience, I don’t think it will prove successful.
I agree with you wholeheartedly. Yes, those Christmas shows were wonderful, and as you say, it brought a certain familiarity and "genuineness" to the whole QVC experience. I have the feeling that those of us who were there at the beginning of the Q, long before they moved to their big studio with all the bells and whistles.... we were their true customers. I seriously doubt that today's young adults watch or shop that way. I do believe that QVC is on the way out... although they merged with other shopping channels and have expanded their reach, the "magic" is gone.

She was so sincere & loveable. I really hate she was let go.
@@irenehaugen6143 They merged only with HSN. I have found HSN to be so much better. Hosts behave properly, and there is no nonsense. Also, like their fashions much better.

Welllll, I watched an episode with Jane Treacy hosting when she shut down a Product Rep who was describing how to apply makeup. She not only shut her down, she shut her down abruptly and awkwardly, citing "running out of time." But no, then Jane went on to talk about how she, Jane, experienced the product as she got ready in her dressing room. That's when I surmised that there is "stuff" going on behind the scenes, that Jane competes hard for her standing, that there might be product reps "in the wings" threatening the older hosts. Just my speculating of course, but I will say, it was quite obvious that, when Jane is hosting, look out anyone who is in the vicinity, Jane will not tolerate you taking any attention 😂😂
You got that right, the Jane Treacy shopping network.
@@danamansutti9441 Only a matter of time, people will get tired of her real fast.
Sometimes ya gotta do what ya gotta do! Especially when it’s your livelihood.😇
It isn't just Jane but most of the hosts seem anxious! Why wouldn't they.
@@BubblyinUSA2010 Oh for sure I get that, but it takes on a new slant when it's so obvious. I cringe a bit.
I agree Susan Gravers is rude and anoying,,,when she’s on I turn qvc off
Jane talks way too much, fake enthusiasm
Can't stand Susan Graver either..
I absolutely can’t stand Jane!! She needs to go. I feel like the people who were fired is because of Jane. About a month ago, Jane was talking about her daughters and she said something like “people think I’m nice but I am not”… yep, she said exactly what I thought about her.
yeah she looks bad,,,she is not a runner with that body its a lie her hair always looks dirty and matted and who care about her kids they are pushing 30 years old JANE need to cut the apron strings... her marriage must be lacking
She should have been reprimanded for those comments/threats about anyone who talks about her daughters.
I turn the channel whenever Jane Tracey comes on. She is rude to the presenters and talks over them. And I am so tired of hearing about her daughter and doing a marathon.
that fat jane does not do marathons,,,,,really
Like you, the QVC gave me companionship and significantly helped me go to sleep at night. Jane is alright but can be obnoxious at times. However, I can believe that Courtney Khondabi is still there, obnoxious times three, and Shawn is a pusher in selling; what a fake. I don't watch QVC anymore, I don't like the new hosts, and it has become boring. I miss Antonella, Dan, Carolynn, and Jeanne Bice, but I miss Joan Rivers the most.
I really miss Joan Rivers too.
Loved Joan. When she and Melissa interviewed celebs on the red carpet, she wore her costume jewelry and it looked beautiful!
Today was Joan's birthday. I loved joan!! May she rest in peace
@@rosemarygaeta8205 Thanks, Rosemary
I quit watching HER after her and Rick had a show together challenging Irish and America things…she grabbed the American flags out of Rick’s hand and threw it on the ground behind her…on the ground with NO respect at all…it was offensive…AND we live in America no matter what our ancestry! She was very RUDE about it!
Jane looks 10 yrs older than her actual age..
I loved Carolyn and Dan and Antonella too. I would have gotten rid of big mouths Shawn Killinger,Jane Treacy, and Amy Stran!
❤I cannot stand Jane Tracy she talks and talks, no one EVER ever gets to speak. YIKES
Jane Traecy can drive anyone nuts.
@@sharonswiatek5198 Years ago she said she met her husband Sean there as he was a camera man. I don't know where they got the executive stuff. Her girls are also not twins. Jane left for one year after she had the second daughter to be a mom at home.
What happened to Jane?? Overnight her ears doubled in size, her hair went wild and she aged 20 years!!
😂
What a kind comment. I can tell you're a happy person. ❤❤
She's a mess.
Been a QVC customer since the beginning, and haven’t been able to watch Jane for years now. Besides QVC’s quality control going downhill, most of the hosts are intolerable to watch. I miss the days when products were described in detail, with very little annoying and irrelevant endless commentary. FYI, Jane’s daughters are not twins as stated, but have six years between them. Also, it’s Cara, not Clara.
I was watching old clips and she performs now. She used to be more low key. It seems like she's trying to keep up or something.
I remember when Shawnee Sue( God what an awful name) told Josie Maran “ Honey you’re not making any sense” Well Josie ie worth millions so she knows what she’s doing Shawnee Sue.
Jane Treacy's daughters are not twins. She left QVC when she had her younger daughter to be a stay at home mother but returned a few years later. I do not care for her any more since she co-hosts with Courtney. She tries to act like a young girl instead of her age. I agree that I'm tired of hearing about her daughters. I no longer watch due to the firing of Dan and Carolyn and do not like alot of the newer hosts. In regards to Dan and Carolyn not having a proper "send off', nobody gets one when they are fired from a job. Only when they have chosen to leave.
I remember when Jeanne Bice daughter died shortly after her mother. Qvc never mentioned it
her kids are nothing special,,,,,,not like they became Dr's
Jane is annoying
I rarely watch anymore. There prices have really gone up and then add tax and shipping /handling. Expensive!
yep for junk
I totally agree with what you say. Caroline was my favorite part. So many of the other hosts seem phoney. Dan as well, always seemed very honest. If he said the quality was good, it was!
I don’t understand why Jane is still there, they really push her to be on everything! She is not a favorite because of it seems she is a ME, ME, ME! I wish Carolyn was still there, also Dan! We regret she came back!
I stopped watching 12 years ago, once Shawn became a host, and Jane I couldn’t watch her another day, her daughters, her parents ENOUGH she graded on my nerves
I was floored when I heard that got rid of Carolyn Gracie. There were others I feel should have got the axe before her or Dan. I'm not a fan of Alberti. No particular reason other then he's boring. Do you remember the really pretty woman that was a jokester and she left to do her own thing? I forget her name. I wasnt overly fond of her either. Why did they let the host go that had been there forever and yet keep hiring new people??
I don't know of any jokesters, but Lisa Robertson was very pretty and I think she's selling products on her own site now.
She had to leave qvc because she was being stalked by 2 stalkers! One of them stopped by another hostess home to ask where Lisa was. At that point,Lisa had no choice but to leave. She actually testified at both trials and one of them was jailed. She had to go into hiding until then,that is why she disappeared
The younger hosts are cheaper!
@@Lisa-je5bb , I had no idea. How awful. I like watching her on her own show occasionally when I have time.
@@Lisa-je5bbLisa was on Antonella's YT channel a couple of days ago.
Jane drives me nuts I have to change the channel and refuse to order anything when she is on
I think Sandra Bennet is classy and smart.
Jane just talks and talks over everyone. It’s embarrassing I feel. She drives me crazy.
Rachel Is The Bloody WORSE At That...Incase U Haven't Noticed...
She is another Susan Graver
I Like Sexy Julia...💙💙💙💙💙💙💙🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Oh Jane. Isn't it about time to retire?
The two Lisa's were the best.
Everything has changed everywhere!!!
My favorite host of all times was Kathy Levine. There hasn't been anyone since who could ever fill her shoes. I really watch very little QVC now so I am not too familiar with the newer hosts. I do know that when I was still watching the host named Amy drove me crazy. If she was on it was an instant channel changer for me. I know that many loved Lisa Mason because they believed that she was the most genuine but I always felt that her fondness for saying if you can't afford it I don't want you to buy it was her particular shtick. Let's be honest, like all of the hosts she was there to get you to buy. Her career with QVC depended on it. I did enjoy watching Jane Treacy during my time of QVC addiction but I haven't seen her in a long time so I can't comment on her behavior. Now I just go to their website to see what they are offering but most times I have no interest in purchasing. I often wish I had some of the money back that I spent with QVC when it was still a novelty.
Kathy Levine is back kinda. She’s on Sundays on QVC 2, selling jewelry.
Yes a million times YES!! Kathy was the BEST of the best. And when she was on with Joan Rivers it was like Comedy central!! Never had better TV!!! And the sales were through the roof during those episodes. Even during that epic 7 minute non-stop giggle fest, if you recall that one! I have never laughed so much in a one hour period as watching these two Yentas. What a joy. Of course I have Kathy's books and they were ever so funny and enjoyable to read.
If it's Amy Strahn, I change the channel when she's on. She's very annoying for some reason.
@@irenehaugen6143 Yes - Kathy and Joan were the best. In the past, there was HUMOR - today, it's fast-talking hosts selling the same stuff over and over and over. Stopped watching a few years ago. Carolyn and Dan --- QVC - you've reached new lows!!!!
She kills the English language
I also used to shop QVC! Just occasionally now! The glamour is gone! The products are very pricey and I have found the quality is not there! Miss the old days also when the hosts were fun and the shows were interesting! Loved the jewelry when it was affordable! Now the products seem to be mostly on the casual side and forever athletic shoes! Miss the friendliness of the whole atmosphere, now it seems it is all business!.
QVC has lost its luster. I hardly watch anymore. The seasoned hosts are gone and it started with Jill Bauer.
jill was nasty lady and rude
Couldn't stand Jill Bauer she was arrogant though I don't watch QVC very much any more . They've gone down hill since they merged with HSN. As for Jane Tracy she's more into herself and her family then the products she supposed to be selling. Also can't stand when she starts about Disney, come on grow up Disney is overrated it's also too woke for me.
Miss Carolyn and Dan I don’t watch much as I don’t care for hosts and prices have gone so high
It's true about Jane Tracy. I was watching once when QVC was selling laptops. She ( Jane) would not let the seller talk about the laptop. She talked over her. The seller wouldn't come back the rest of the day.
Antonella Nestor was GREAT
I’d like to know the reasoning behind letting the seasoned hosts go who are doing a great job and then hiring these people who are living in some far away world somewhere. I mean, their personalities are crazy and annoying. Stupid comments and not familiar with items are a huge turn off. So I don’t watch like I used to. I did the same as you did, have them on just for company. Not now. They cut off their nose to spite their face in my opinion.😊
The same reason why they let older employees go in any business!! MONEY!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The older hosts are probably getting a boatload of money, and with the newer and younger hosts, they don't have to pay them as much money.
@@ProudKansan08 You’re probably right, I didn’t think of that at the time! It’s a shame to let people go who have a devoted following and in my mind who sell more because they are trusted. But money talks , right!🤦♀️🤷♀️
I liked Jane when she used to host the Silver Sunday show. Now she has morphed into an annoying talking head who is way too perky. I used to like Shawn too but she seems full of herself now. I like Mary DeAngelo but don’t really watch 1VC anymore.
I watch QVC for background noise just like you used to do. The one thing that bugs me about Jane is that she wears clothes that are too small for her, it just looks terrible. I mean you are suppose to be modeling these clothes and your making them look awful. Just size up Jane, you are not a small.
Shawn does the same thing with her clothes sometimes too.
Jane would look smaller, if she sized up .
Most of them wear at least a size smaller than they should - they look awful with fabric pulling and hugging the butt area. Also, the upper arm areas are too snug as well. It’s not an effective way to sell clothing as it makes the garments look cheap and poorly designed.
Have you ever noticed she has this habit of always tugging and pulling down her tops ,it drives me crazy 🤪.
@@KDK1207 Shawn says she’s an X-Small, but could wear a small. Oh puleeeze!!! 🤣🤣🤣
My favorite past host was always Kathy Levine.....I haven't shopped QVC in years as well for the same reason, to much spending lol I'm sad to hear Jean Bice from Quacker Factory is no longer with QVC I really liked her whimsical clothing line, pricey but very cute!!! Also surprised Jane isn't going by Rudolph Tracy any longer 😮 well thanks for sharing the tea and have a great day 😊
My favorite host is Mary Beth Roe! I turn the channel as soon as the food comes on! I don't plan to buy, except cheesecake, so I will not watch food. It is like watching paint dry! Jane's daughters are not twins. The older hosts always seem to have more style and knowledge. I am guessing that they don't pay the newer hosts as much as they paid the older hosts in the beginning. I think that recently with the newer ones that they have made a few really poor choices. It all goes down to the money. The new prices are unbelievable and I don't plan to pay the higher prices. Thanks for the video and information!
I should come over and teach you how to make a New York cheesecake in your food processor. One,two and three-done. Buying one for $50 is just not necessary. It will cost you 3x 8 0unces of cream cheese to prepare one yourself.
Add some strawberries to bring it over the top ! Come on, try it please !
I like Antonella and sweet Mary Beth .Antonella is such a brave women and a true survivor !
I miss sweet Carolyn . What a shame to let her go, I hope she is doing well 1
@bgueberdenteich5206 Just saw the other day that Carolyn and Gary Gobin are planning to do something together. You may be seeing them soon. It was on You Tube.
@@Donna-zc9ii Thank you !
She coined the phrase “shop backwards” and never shuts up about it. Her hair gets shorter and her ears get bigger. She is the worst.
And she really thinks she looks good.
I can't stand Jane, she tries to act young, I change channels and I love shoes!!
Where are these new hosts coming from.? T.J. Comes off as not knowing anything, do you train the hosts? Alberti and Steve do not help QVC! Help!
Steve is creepy looking I cant watch him ...its that smile...and just fake..I think he was a disney princess or something !! Lol...maked
s sense
I turn the chanel when both the Jane's
Come on and Mary Beth. Bad call when
They got rid of Carolyn and Dan were
Let go.
How often did you buy anything from Carolyn and Dan? They wouldn't have been let go if they were bringing in the sales. A lot of their fan base just tuned in to watch - not buy.
Mike Rowe(the Dirty Jobs guy) was a QVC host back in the 90's. he never got off of the overnight shift and he ultimately was let go because he always made fun of the products. he sometimes talks about his QVC days on his podcast
Thier loss. Love him. He's so funny!
I’m the same. For 30 years I’ve watched QVC. Bc of you I’ve been watching Antonella who I missed from QVC. Mary Beth is still there and is very sweet. What is with JACKIE? She’s been there forever but is only on air like maybe 4 x a month if that. I don’t know her last name but she is lighter skin black. She’s boring and just not interesting at all. They never have her paring with other QVC hosts ever. That is weird. It’s like no one wants to collab with her? Give us what u know about this. QVC has been a big part of my life sad to say bc I’ve lived alone most of my life and had an addiction to shopping. When they invented home tv shopping I thought wow I’m loving this. In retrospect not so great bc my debt with QVC was skyrocketing. I’m more aware today but still love to shop. I appreciate you covering them. Also didn’t u mention someone being fired from HSN. I believe the name is Shannon. If I’m correct isn’t she the one who always did the Andrew Lessman Vitamin shows. Bc u mentioned it I started looking at HSN and who was missing. I believe it’s her and she was always very sweet and down to earth. Sad they seem to get rid of the very warm and sweet hosts. She was the only one there I watched bc I liked her and Andrew Lessman vitamins. He’s never there anymore either.
The vitamins are on constantly, HSN
@@wilcox728 And they are synthetic and a waste of money.
No more Alberti with any of the woman hosts. So terrible and uncomfortable...
I like Dave a lot. I’m wondering if he’s preparing to leave. I miss Dan and Caroline. I didn’t like the fact of no send off either.
Same
Agree with you. Carolyn and Dan deserved a proper send-off.
Layoffs usually don't come with a party, no matter how long you've been with a company. And it's pretty awkward to have a sendoff for someone who isn't choosing to leave. I think all the long-time hosts are pretty close, and they'll do something for Dan and Carolyn privately.
Hmm. Jane. Enjoyed her in the past. But now she just seems to act like she knows more than the rep. or more than Courtney.
Too yappy, just stay calm and let other people get a word in.
I just usually flip the station unless Courtney is on.
So girl , calm down.
At least she seems enthusiastic unlike the new hosts who "pretend" that they know how to sell.
jane is trying to hard,,,she knows she maybe let go
everyone is walking on eggshells at qvc,,,even SHAWN
They made a mistake letting Lisa Robertson go and Antonella. Lisa has really done well and for what they did to Antonella I wouldn’t buy anything from them. We the viewers have taken care of them both.
lisa was a snake
Lisa wasn’t let go. She quit. She had a serious stalker problem and needed to get out of the public eye.
@@realpixiestixShe had two men stalking her, she knew they were watching her on TV.
Wish Shawn would leave on her own accord, of course...Enjoyed your video!
she aint going anywhere unless she is let go,,,,old JOE dont make enough money
I can’t stand Rick Domeir, especially when he presents jewelry. Miss Carolyn and Dan. Mary Beth Roe is still there. Not a fan of Jane
❤
Hate rick
When Jane sells clothing she needs to let everyone know what hip size she is so we can order accordingly. I have seen size small models and Jane is much larger than she states. Jane likes to talk as if she is better than everyone and needs to get over her self.
Jane is not a small size!
If Doemeyer is hosting I change the channel. He interrupts constantly.
Many of the QVC hosts think they're celebrities. NO THEY ARE NOT. They're sales clerks no different from a Dilliards, Macy's or Nordstrom sales associates. Just because their venue is television doesn't make them special. Rick Domeir should had been canned years ago.
He actually stresses me out. He is drinking to much coffee!
@@marytesta3003He's very hyper. I've never watched him either.
@@Donna-zc9ii he has adhd like the rest of the hosts and guests .but he drinks coffee on top of it. Ugh..
He interrupts the guests as much as Jane Tracy, and that's a lot.
QVC use to be good,not any more. They should change their name to Food Network 2,then the powers that be wonder why they are losing money,duh.
The prices they charge for bagels is a disgrace. I can go to an upscale grocery store here in New Jersey and pay less
If I see that fake Alberti and the girl he's always with, I change the channel. I hope they read this comment and switch up the line up because that food is crazy expensive. Who will buy a $4 hot dog? Really? At least have a not so fake host present it. They also need to be more in depth with ingredients and offer organic goods. That Davids cookies is nothing but sugar, high fructose corn syrup, GMO flour and chemicals. Yuk.
The food items are expensive and they also get bad reviews on the QVC site..maybe they're going by site unseen.
I do agree I change the channel when certain hosts are on. Most of them are the newer, younger hosts. It’s my personal opinion and I am a consumer. I used to buy a lot more from QVC; not now.
Both Caroline and Dan are great looking people with great personas....I miss them a lot☹️
No fan of Jane either
