Suzanne and Debbie D. are my two favorites on HSN! They’re both always so upbeat and make it fun to watch.
Is Suzanne currently still a host on HSN? I have always enjoyed watching her host the craft shows especially the 24-hour craft shows every month. She has such a bubbly personality. You can tell that she is a crafter. She gets so excited with all the new crafts. What shows does she host now? Is she on YouTube showing crafts? Thanks!
I have been watching Suzanne on and off for years. She is a great host and fun to watch. I hated when she left QVC but I was glad to see her still around on HSN.
Suzanne is one of my favorite hosts. She is so genuine and so sparkly. I always enjoy her craft shows.
Is Suzanne Runyan related to former national football league player John Runyan? I notice that when she hosts HSN ‘football fan shop gifts’ and wears Philadelphia Eagles gear most often. Thank you…go birds!
First time watching you and love your attitude. I love all crafts…really enjoy it…hope I win the gift card, then I can buy more
I NEED THE GEMENI AND THE JR. CUTTINGS PLATES— HELP WHERE CAN I BUY THEM? HSN CAN NOT HELP ME.
I like her enthusiasm, it feels everything that she sells is her favorite product. She can’t like it all but she makes you believe that she does. She is friendly…Smiles a lot, so enjoyable to watch!
Suzanne is fun. She’s the best.
