I Think It’s Time for a New Adventure

Posted by Lisa Robertson 10/09/2014 at 3:45 PM

23 years ago I got my first job in television shopping. It wasn't something that I always knew I wanted to do, it was something I was lucky enough to fall into because I really needed a job! Ironically, it suits my skills very well. I love to shop and I love talking to people. Over my last 20 years at QVC I have had the most amazing opportunities met the most wonderful people and gone to the most beautiful places. I cannot tell you how lucky I feel. But there comes a time when you have done what you can do and it is time to see what else there is. And that is where I am. After a lot of soul-searching I have decided that I will be leaving QVC. It is time for a new challenge and a new adventure. Although it is a little scary to leave what you have always known, I am very excited about what lays ahead. My greatest hope is that the friends that I have made here will continue to be my friends in the future. There are many people that I work with that I care for deeply and will miss seeing on a regular basis, but I know that we will make time for each other in our lives. Although I will miss talking to you on a regular basis through your television, I do hope that you will find time for me in your life in the future as well. Luckily, we live in an age where it is easier to stay in touch. After all, that's what social media is for. In the next few months, before I leave on December 12, I will treasure every moment more because I know I will not have them much longer. But I will also treasure the opportunity to be excited about what is to come.

Thank you for your kindness, support and friendship throughout the years. It has meant more to me than I can say. You have brightened my darker times and been there when I needed a smile, and I hope that we can continue to do that for each other in the years to come.

See you soon,
Lisa

It is the end of an era for sure, but I agree with the conservative view point that it is just time for her. Also, I bet Colleen Lopez is not too far behind.

The hotness will be missed but good luck to whatever she does.

The only interesting part, is watching the hosts trying to fill her shoes.

I think they've been grooming Amy and Courtney just for that reason.

They can groom whomever they want no one they got is going to rock those vicensia gowns like Lisa!

Can't say I'm a huge fan, but I'll still miss her. I do like her being so candid.

Has it really sunk in yet that we only have a few weeks left of possibly ever seeing Lisa again? I hate to think about it and just hope that one of the new younger girls can fill in. Or they hire Lisa's long lost identical clone that is 20 years younger. I just keep thinking of who I might want to watch. I like Nancy, but I am not sure how long she will stay around. Stacey is a looker :Tounge

It just seems like the best way to get over a bad situation is for something good to fill the void. I hope we get that.

Hopefully we will see Lisa on TV someplace else and I know she'll stay active on social media, but an era is certainly coming to an end. :cry:

Lisa was the reason I started watching shopping channels in the first place and there is no one currently on QVC that comes close to her sex appeal in my eyes. The only one who for me can at least give Lisa a battle is Kerstin. She's probably the only other girl that can get me to tune in with hopes that she'll give us a sexy show. Hopefully Kerstin steps it up a notch and inherits the crown from Queen Lisa!

I can only imagine what flashback moments will flash before our eyes come Friday night.

But as I said on another thread, I expect QVC as a channel will go down similar to Headline News, The Weather Channel, MTV, and Nickelodeon have been over the last several years--totally different formats than what they started with and had such a tremendous, loyal following by hundreds of thousands of cable subscribers back in the 1980's into the 1990's.

Oh I have that feeling QVC will go down just like Fox News, msnbc, etc.

Actually out of all the cable news network Fox is doing good(for the week ending Nov 30 Fox is in third place for cable channels only being beat by Hallmark and ESPN in primetime), and in fourth place in total daily viewers(being beat by ESPN, Nick and Disney) Now MSNBC is in last place, Now Fox Business their ratings are bad.

I agree QVC will be gone just like the other shopping television networks because their time has passed, They were good back before and when the internet was young because it gave people a place to shop who other wise would have to take a day trip to get to and back from a store to shop at but now the internet has made them obsolete.

I remember when Steve Bryant was on a radio talk show a few years ago he said he thought QVC didn't have much left in it

One could look at QVC and say theyre done due to the internet. While another person could say with all the NSA spying and hacking that using the internet to purchase stuff isnt secure so its easier to place phone or mail orders.

As for Lisa, their's no doubt she's a network favorite and could work there as long as she wanted. My opinion is she's probably tired of the job and wanting something new in life. People dont realize working at a shopping channel is sales driven so most hosts dont last if they dont meet a quota.
