HSN Live Discussion

Initially, HSN announced Bobbie would retire at the end of 2025 when they were moving hosts to QVC.

I guess they needed her while they brought on so many new hosts.

I always liked her. She set the standard for the TV shopping host profession, now a thing of the past.

I remember a story she told in a magazine article.

Many years ago, she was selling and demonstrating some sort of food/meat slicer.

She cut open a finger and was bleeding live! But Bobbi hid that hand under the table and continued on! Obviously, everything worked out well!

Not sure who the host was on Clarks last night, but she was very pleasant IMO! Nothing to snark about, but it’s such a shock to have a halfway normal host on air. Only issue was the one “shtretch” Clark rep… fingernails on a chalkboard every time she said it.

Did this weirdo lady just tell the audience to use the balm on your vulva or “other lips”. What a nasty thing to be discussing during the dinner hour here on the west coast.

ETA this is for the QVC thread sorry!

At least neither Mally or Skunk offered to demonstrate, although I am sure they would. And this isn’t even Menopause Monday! So glad I missed that. Sorry you didn’t.:frowning:

Her name is Sarah Timm. She used to be an HSN model and an OAP. She sings too.

Watched HSN a little while this afternoon to catch a jewelry show with Jay King and Debbie Denmon. Jay brought out a Chilean turquoise necklace and Debbie kept calling it “Chilean sea bass.”

After she said “sea bass” several times, Jay turned to her and said, “Uh, Debbie? You know this is a necklace and not seafood, right?” Debbie gasped and they both had a good laugh. I was laughing too.

Can you imagine if that had been Shawn with Jay instead of Debbie?

There’s a Vince Camuto TS today and the rep was saying that Vince is still so involved in the design.

Which would be really impressive since he died 11 years ago.

:thinking: :thinking: :thinking: A blast from the past … Imperial Silver now featured on HSN. How did Jane Treacy allow that account to slip though her spotted, grubby little hands?

That Wells woman has the most obnoxious voice! I wonder what happened to her cruise director gig.

Was she on Saturday morning on Evine? If so, I couldn’t stand her voice!

Yep and she did a late night show featuring sex toys, so gross.

I always said HSN had great prices with free s&h which QVC never had. That said, their sets were always so minimal and bare where QVC would go all out. Also, HSN had some good host (especially the men) whereas QVC’s host were and are so snark worthy which made it more fun to watch. I still miss Guy Yovan from HSN. He didn’t want to make to make the move to West Chester. He was sort of the Rick Domier of HSN. He was super good looking, funny and very knowledgeable. Also, he let his hair go go gray where Rick um, hasn’t gone natural. LOL!!!

Hopefully, a lot of the HSN people are renting. They must have known a move to West Chester isn’t what they wanted long term. Frankly, I’ve been watching HSN here and there for years but I never became fully invested in the host(s). I really only knew a few of them by name. Like, Coleen Lopez who was their Kathy Levine. Although, I think Coleen had been doing it for much longer.

Natasha was a good host. Confident and pleasant. I was sorry her tenure was so brief.

Is that Kimberly in the middle? I made this in 2018 after PTV shut down the Lisa forum.
