InsideQ: Do you ever get nervous on air?

Mary: I haven’t been nervous on-air in years, but those feelings managed to flare up through the training process at QVC! When I get nervous, I try to remember to take a deep breath and focus on the center of the camera lens. That tends to settle my nerves, and makes me feel like I’m having a regular conversation with a friend.

InsideQ: Any funny bloopers?

Mary: The most embarrassing thing to happen so far wasn’t on camera—it happened during a break. The other new hosts and I were buzzing around the QVC Studio Store. I veered off to use the restroom. I walked in and noticed legs underneath a stall, and thought, “Those are large shoes…” Then I looked up and thought, “Why are there urinals in the women’s restroom?” Needless to say, I soon figured out where I was… and hightailed it out of there!

InsideQ: What do you hope the future holds for you at QVC?

Mary: I hope my future here is experience-rich. I want to meet wonderful people and hear their stories, make memories, and, above all, make an impact even in the smallest ways… like laughing and learning together!

InsideQ: Any funny bloopers?

Courtney: We have shared a lot of laughs so far. I think my managers got a lot of laughs out of my first Skype audition. I don’t even remember what I said. I was rambling because I was so excited and nervous! 

InsideQ: What was the first thing you bought as a new host?

Courtney: I bought a Diamonique® ring during the audition process. My first purchase as a new host was makeup from IT Cosmetics.

InsideQ: Do you ever get nervous on air?

Cathy: I do get nervous sometimes, but the nerves don’t help me when on air so I try to find ways around it, whether it be a cup of tea, doing some jumping jacks if I’m overly excited, or simply gathering my thoughts to calm the nerves.

InsideQ: What was the first thing you bought as a new host?

Cathy: I had shopped at QVC before becoming a host, but once it became official the girls and I went straight to the QVC Studio Store during our lunch break and I bought a Diamonique emerald-cut band ring along with philosophy 3-in-1 marzipan dreams shampoo, shower gel & bubble bath.

InsideQ: What do you hope the future holds for at QVC?

Cathy: I hope to have a long history at QVC. In my short time here I’ve fallen in love with the products and teams, from the people who design the graphics to those who seek out the trends and run the shows behind the scenes—even the cafeteria chefs are awesome. I love coming to work every day, whether it’s office time or on-air, so I hope I can continue to do what I love for decades to come.
