QVC’s Most Memorable Hosts: Where Are They Now?

Some QVC shoppers can’t help but make a connection with some of the network’s products — and hosts.

Over the years, viewers have developed close bonds with longtime program hosts who have a gift of selling everything from fashion and beauty products to food and electronics.

Every so often, some of the program hosts decide to step away from the network to retire, spend more time with family or simply try something new.

In December 2024, Jennifer Coffey and Kerstin Lindquist both announced they would be leaving QVC after both serving 13 years as program hosts.

“It’s time for me to have more time for my teens & family,” Lindquist shared via Instagram. “It’s time for God to make a greater impact through me by focusing on faith & wellness in women’s lives.”

As for Coffey, she vowed to keep dreaming after her final show aired on December 31, 2024.

“My entire purpose over these last 13 years has been to inspire,” she said in her farewell celebration. “Whatever your dream is, you are meant to have that dream come true.”

As viewers look forward to what Coffey and Lindquist do next, keep reading to see what other QVC hosts have done after leaving the network:

Lisa Robertson

After 20 years with the network, Robertson said goodbye to QVC in December 2014. “It is time for a new challenge and a new adventure,” she wrote via a blog post. “Although it is a little scary to leave what you have always known, I am very excited about what lays ahead.”

After leaving the network, Robertson spent many years working on her own online boutique. In November 2023, however, Robertson announced the business was coming to an end so she could retire and make more memories with her family, including husband Jeff Lawrence.

Kathy Levine

One of QVC’s original and most beloved former hosts returned to the shopping network in May 2022 after nearly two decades away. Levine returned as a guest with her own line within QVC’s iconic simulated diamond brand, Diamonique.

Her jewelry has become so popular that Levine continues to be a familiar guest during fashion and accessory shows.

Carolyn Gracie

In March 2023, Gracie announced she was leaving QVC after 19 years. “You won’t want to miss all the fun with pets, gardening, RVing and so much more!” she teased via Facebook when announcing her exit. “Let’s make sure we stay friends for life.”

Gracie has since returned to QVC with her Girl Next Door collection for gardeners of all levels. She has also remained in touch with her former QVC host Dan Hughes, who also left the network around the same time.

Jennifer Coffey 

Following 13 years on QVC, Coffey hosted a farewell celebration in December 2024. “We close out one chapter and begin another,” she wrote via Instagram when announcing her departure. “I can’t wait to hear about your new adventures as I share mine with you too. I don’t know about you, but I’ve got Big Plans and I want to watch and support you as you work on yours. We got this.”

Dan Wheeler

In December 2019, Wheeler officially retired and had his final QVC show as a program host.
