That may or may not be where I got the idea. Oh yeah I forgot about David, he’d be in that old guard group too.Thanks for the spell correct on omelette by the way.

Yes, the ā€œEggsit Strategyā€ episode. Carrie’s flaky boss who’s getting the ax puts her in charge of making sure he gets a proper omelette bar send-off complete with a man in a chef’s hat and not, ā€œjust a card and ice cream cake for losersā€ on his last day :laughing:

David looks bored and unhappy

He did say again on his FB live this week that he is NOT retiring. He said they would have to drag him out of there. Don’t know why he feels he has to keep repeating this.

He has to keep repeating it because of stories like this where his ladies hear something about a retirement and go nuts and keep begging him to not leave them. I think he will not announce anything, except for maybe on his last day, say good-bye. Then, maybe he might have a party off-screen. I don’t know. I also think it’s funny that Ant said that there will be 2 retirements and 1 will make us sad - what about the other one??? If someone has been there long enough to retire, I would assume we know them well. The only person of retirement age I can think that we don’t like is Blabs. But, I don’t see her retiring any time soon, unfortunately.

Add in narcissism and drama queen and it explains a lot.

Did Ant say two would be ā€œretiringā€? I thought she alluded to two leaving or being let go.

She did - and that we would be sad to see one of them leave. That implies that we will not miss the other one, whoever he or she may be.

:crystal_ball: :crystal_ball: :crystal_ball: When Antonella was fired from QVC, she probably put the Malocchio on everyone who entered and exited Studio Park. Who knows, perhaps this crazy, angry Italian is responsible in a very large way for the downfall of QVC? Stranger Things . . . . . . .

That’s Lisa’s house? I’m a bit underwhelmed. Strange to post so many pics of things looking in disarray, along with the cigs on the counter.

I saw diva the other day and he did seem off. Doesn’t look healthy and odd affect. Talks without making eye contact with OAP or cohost.

I’d hope they give Rick a nice send off if he is indeed retiring. He can be over the top but he’s been a valuable asset to Q; energetic, prepared, shows interest in products, and interacts well with OAPs and cohosts.

David does seem off. He has started repeating stories only a few minutes after he’s told it. On Sunday’s ITKWD he was picking the filling out of those strombolis with his fingers, and eating it. Not something he would have done a while back.

I will miss Rick, too…just seems like a good guy. Shawn recently said that Rick is the unofficial host leader, or something to that effect.

You know I agree with you about Rick. Katrina used to be my host and show to watch. The only time I regularly checked the program schedule and wrote down when she’d be hosting! I look for Rick now because he’s not regularly assigned except maybe Saturday day shows?
If QVC was doing me favors, they’d convince Guy to move North and switch to QVC. I’ve listened to him enough now to almost like him as much as Rick. He doesn’t have canned responses; he works well with brand reps. And I still think he and Rick could do a regular show together too.

How about a ā€œRick and Guyā€ show?

La Diva might be very threatened by that.

Guy knows food and worked in the restaurant business.

And I’ve never heard him describe anything as lovely or remarkable.

A Rick and Guy show would be great!

Maybe a ā€œRick and OneGuyā€ show?

Just saw the awful ā€œCourtney Casonā€ on CBS Steals & Deals this morning. Yecch! Yesterday they had Gabrielle Kerr. Another pasture for old QVC hosts to go out to.
