QVC catchphrases quiz

[Grizelda]

Dress it up dress it down.

Wear it with a crisp white shirt.

Can't guess this one, because so many people say it.

 

[Grizelda]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

This one I find annoying
Get it back.

Would that be Gabbler ?

Can you guess a QVC presenter or guest by their catchphrase, which they probably don't even realise they have?

I can only think of 2 1/2 as I no longer watch live QVC, but I hope lots of others will put some up.

The 1/2 is because I only half remember it, from many years ago by Tim Goodwin. At the end of his demos, he would point to the item and say something like "And that's what it's all about" - - - - can anyone remember exactly?

Now for my 2 quiz questions - - - -

(1) and and and and and and and

(2) Will I need an umbrella tomorrow?

1. Simon Biagi
2. Lee Hohbein

oops, edited - I replied before seeing others have beaten me to it, sorry !

Pipa also says “yeah, yeah, yeah” nonstop.

I think the majority of the presenters just love the sound of their own voices and say anything irrelevant to fill the air space that would be better taken up by the guests talking.

Yeah yeah yeah Pippa

"I'm going to give you the measurements really quickly..."

And who said "I'm never going to work with you again Charlie"?

In fact, she never even worked for QVC again!

And on the same theme, who said "He's as ill as a newt" and he also never worked for QVC again either! And who was he talking about?

Both of these are from about 10 years ago.

The guest who was demonstrating the Daewoo vacuum cleaner.

I still crack up when watching the video, even after all these years.

Thought you hardly ever watched

Catherine Stewart.

Charlie was crying with laughter at the end, she was crying.

I actually saw it LIVE but never saw her appear again on QVC, and she had been on for years.

 

[boffy]

GET IT NOW!

 

[stratobuddy]

GET IT NOW!

That sounds more like Ideal World.

This was another event I saw live, many years ago.

Tim Goodwin had done his show, and Julian Ballantyne was supposed to be on next.

But then it was announced that Julian was ill, so Tim would be doing the show instead.

When Tim came on, he was obviously very put out as he probably had other plans outside work. So he "joked" that he'd taken over the show because Julian was "ill as a newt".

His joke must have backfired with the "powers that be" as I never saw Tim on QVC again, and he was my favourite presenter for tech. Presumably he was sacked for casting aspersions at Julian, implying he was drunk.

"I'm going to give you the measurements really quickly..."

Ill as a newt - wasn't that said about Julian B by a guest? I seem to recall he was involved...

Thought Tim left around the time certain presenters were being asked to present all the categories of QVC stock.
I maybe wrong but at the time didn’t Jill move from just fitness to everything else.

All I know is that I used to watch avidly in those days, especially tech with Tim (SOHO etc) and I never saw him again after his remark.
