Word is, QVC is going to be rolling out another new host soon, Albany Irvin.
According to the bio on her website, Albany grew up as a military brat who worked to become a dentist (she's gonna be all over those SuperSmile presentations!) However, her plans were put aside when she fell in love with the camera. In addition to her hosting and commercial work, she's also another "busy mom" since she's married with three kids. (Note to Albany: If you didn't already know, "busy mom" is an entire category of home shopping hosts. As a busy mom host, you are required to say something like: I don't have time to fuss. I'm a busy mom! That's why this product is perfect. I can just throw it on with a crisp white shirt and I'm out the door!)
Check out her host reel:
You can check out her website here, her blog that she forgot about here, her MySpace here, and her Facebook here.

So the first part of her demo reel she talks about her boobs and that she's constipated. Now that's a class act..Way to go QVC!
She's a hoot! She's done a bunch of infomercials, so if the face is familiar, that's why.
And she is...I must say... another reason for Hugh Jee to watch QVC and not buy a damned thing!
Wow. I agree Hugh Jee. Gorgeous red head. Can't wait for her to show up.
I guess turnabout is fair play. The ladies were drooling over the new guy. At least the Q is trying to provide eye candy for everyone.
I am underwhelmed. --Q.C.
I really like her! I love her quote, "... 1.5 husbands, because you never completely get rid of the ex." LOL!
Really, really obnoxious. I'm so sick of fake people.
Does anyone know what happened to the English speaking hostess - She just seem to disappear.
I actually met her while I was doing my QVC guest host training-- she's adorable and seems incredibly nice. Very "high energy," similar to Shawn Killinger. And she really pops on QVC-cam with that red hair. I think she'll do very well!

...My thoughts exactly!!
A Noy Ing
I like the energy but I hope she doesn't talk a mile a minute on air. That could get irritating.
Good Grief! Blah, Blah, Blah. The one thing I have always loved about QVC is the class of their host's. I can change a tire and a diaper?! That's what you're selling yourself on? So could my mom. Compared to HSN, they win; hands down.HSN is like a 2nd hand shopping network to me. Their set, the host, everything seems second hand. But QVC seem as if they are getting a bunch of pretty blabber mouths. C'mon QVC we need more Lisa Mason, Lisa Robertson, Leah Williams. Where's the class? I guess when you can change a tire and a diaper you don't need any! No, I'm not jealous, I am a women with an opinion.
Speaking of Leah Williams, where did she go? Haven't seen her in a while.
I've watched her for the second time; she's been on a long time, all night, with this Dennis Basso show. Boy, is she dumb! She's more in the way as a hindrance than a help as a host.
I can't stand her squeaky voice, either, and she's not too good to watch. Worst of all are the idiotic things she lets leak from her mouth.
I don't see her lasting. She's as dopey as former host Sheila Johnson was, but only about one-third as appealing to look at, and with less than half of Sheila's sunny personality and genteel demeanor. If they got rid of Sheila for low sales or for being dumb, I can't see them keeping Albany. Only good thing about her is her New York name.
Albany has zero class. I loved it when she made a comment about having enough breast milk to feed the neighborhood cereal while selling a Breezies bra. Who is making the decision to hire these idiots? They have to work for almost no money.
So, it seems that Leah Williams must see the same doctor that Patti Reilly sees. Much as I enjoyed both of them before, they both returned from their absences looking like Stepford Wives. The reason these two were so well liked is that they were "real" people. If I have to watch Patti looking at herself and fixing her hair in the viewer much longer, I will gag. She has adopted the same stance as Lisa Robertson while selling, with one leg jutted out to the side. Drives me crazy.
What does everyone think of that newish "teenage boy" they having working overnight? Does anyone agree that he needs to improve his presentation skills FAST or they should fire him?! Just watching him makes me so uncomfortable, I have to change the station!
I just can't stand her. She just seems fake or something. Everytime I watch her I want to like her but, I just can't.
Regarding some QVC people: Lisa Robertson, Lisa Mason, and Patti Reilly are too self-conscience of their appearance, hence the constant "checking themselves out in their monitors. Very unappealing/distracting to the viewer. The "collagen lip club" Pat James Dimentri, and that model on the morning Angela (angela jolie wannabe)-she looks downright scary! If I ever thought of doing collagen, I just think of those 2 and say No way. I don't want to be a fish face.
Most of us are mothers and pretty amazing in our own way....Why does she have to keep telling us how fantasitic she is in not so sutble terms??? I agree with some of the other posts.... I would like to watch someone more "real" I do like Lisa Robertson but If she has to say she is an "X-TRA SMALL SIZE 6" ONE MORE TIME ON AIR I WILL DIE! LOL They are trying to become celebrities and I don't watch QVC for that reason!!!
