Former Shopping Channel Hosts

Wow, I didn’t know this stuff about Lisa’s history with Katie, and now David.

I remember randomly seeing Lisa doing a disingenuous speech addressing Katie’s absence, awkwardly saying how much she’d be missed. At that point Katie had been gone for a while and I guess people kept asking about her. It was obvious there was something more going on and Lisa had no use for her any more.

She strikes me as the type who is an opportunist user “friend” and ghosts you if you dare to move on to better things. Just my impression.

Do you remember that strange woman Nancy Barlow Swisher that worked for QVC and then Lisa? She quit several years ago and soon after wrote a scathing Facebook post about narcissists. I have no doubt who she was talking about. Robertson only cares about Robertson and is only your pal until she doesn’t need you anymore.

According to her Facebook page, Nancy moved back to Pennsylvania a few months ago. She was funny on Lisa’s Facebook livestreams, and I sometimes got the impression Lisa didn’t like the way the attention went to Nancy instead of on her and her products.

I had the news on just now, watching the weather for the eclipse in our area. Pittsburgh PA.

During a commercial break, I hear that familiar Gracie voice. She was on our local Steals and Deals, hawking a backup device for smartphones.

I always cracked up laughing when reading some of the best moments of Sheila Johnson’s time at QVC on TWOP then Primer. The time when she said “look at all this s**t” when an OAP was with her. To the time when she read the sizes of a clothing product “small, medium and lonely” to when she got Coney Island mixed up with Ellis Island. She was one of a kind :joy:

I guess the IRS considers his farm to be a hobby, not a business.

Most likely he has income from investments that he pays taxes on. Owing taxes just means you didn’t have enough money withheld, as you would if getting a paycheck. Could also be he is taking withdrawals from a 401K or IRA. Both of which are taxable. I don’t feel sorry for him. We all pay taxes whether it’s from withholding from our paycheck or at the end when we file.

In the state of PA, you pay taxes on unemployment compensation.

I think unemployment is still taxable, sucks for sure, but that’s the IRS for you.

I didn’t think of unemployment benefits. Good point.

He probably got a tidy severance package, also taxable.
I thought it was interesting the way he makes it sound like he hand wrote a check, although I guess he needed to say that to set up his lame glitter joke.

He’s as tiresome now as he was when he would “work” on Q2 and brag about how he was best buds with everyone who owned products he was shilling and the classic cars he was restoring.

A former host Steve ________is a member of a QVC FB group I belong to and every once in awhile he posts something. It’s always some way of bragging on himself. I did not care for him as a host.

Bryant is a legend in his own mind. What has it been, 20 years since he’s had a job on a shopping channel?

And he’s still bitter all these years later. He needs to let it go.
