Some QVC customers are compelled to relate to some of the network’s hosts and merchandise.
Longtime show hosts who have a talent for marketing everything from food and electronics to clothes and cosmetics have built strong relationships with viewers over the years.
Some of the program hosts occasionally choose to leave the network in order to retire, spend more time with their families, or just try something different.
After 13 years as program hosts, Kerstin Lindquist and Jennifer Coffey both announced their departure from QVC in December 2024.
Lindquist posted on Instagram, “It’s time for me to have more time for my teens & family.” “It’s time for God to use me to have a bigger influence by emphasizing faith and wellness in the lives of women.”
After her last show aired on December 31, 2024, Coffey promised to never stop dreaming.
During her farewell celebration, she stated, “I have been inspired for the past 13 years.” “You are destined to realize your dreams, no matter what they may be.”
