QVC,
Why are you getting rid of the hosts? What are you thinking…The hosts that you fire should not have been fired.
There are some hosts that you have that you should get rid of but there still here. Why don’t you listen to who matters…customers!
So sorry to see another QVC host who is likeable and also not a pushy salesperson leave. I can hardly tolerate the constant babble of several of the other hosts. Therefore, I rarely watch entire episodes. I wish Nancy well. Her positive outlook serves her well.
Wishing her the best. Nancy was a joy to watch.
I just want to say that she is missed very much. Hoping that she and her family are well. Her laughter is contagious it lifts people up. She is like an old friend.
I agree
Why did she leave QVC
Nancy Hornback has a daughter…not a son. She’s a FANTASTIC host!
