Sometimes all you can do is .......nothing. How do you describe a ... void ... an empty spot where something special used to be. Well ... we've got a couple of months. It's okay to be sad. It's okay to be mad. It's okay to be lonely. Let time pass. It'll be okay.

Lisa. Let's all just enjoy the view of the sun as it sets on the horizon.

That is a shame.
I bet it is because of those random idiots who did what they did a while back.

However, she had a stellar career on air for 19 years.
19 incredible years, as far as I am concerned--very little to be ashamed of.

I've read stories & seen her on tv earlier this year discussing stalkers that harass via the internet & even showing up where she lives. It's too bad she'd let those idiots win by her leaving tv if that's the reason. I know we have alot of Lisa fans here (including Johnguard) that have watched her for years.

All the best to Lisa with her next career move.

--Dad123, Blackleatherlover, & Fitz: I've merged all your posts into this one thread --

Quoting parts of some posts from the QVC message boards, this after the initial news forced those same message boards to crash for a brief time:

From bunsnpigs:
"...Definitely our loss as well as QVC's. Their sales will not be the same and we all know it."

From Dana:
"QVC will be an entirely different experience now. We all know sales will drop. No one has your keen sense of style and fashion. Whatever you do will be a victory for you because of your work ethic and perfectionism. You will be missed more than you can possibly know."

From Laura, under the chatname lowen:
"W-H-A-A-A-A-T???????????

REALLY???

gulp. I feel a sense of great loss - like I'm losing a friend. Odd, huh?

QVC's parent company's stock will plummet when you leave. You are their greatest asset."

imho i dont think the stalkers is the reason. It's been going on for years
I'm wondering if she has been offered a talk show(WHO hasn't?) or 1 of the qvc vendors has offered her a cushy rep job for more $$$

Huge loss, but I kind of expected this to come soon now that she's been designing a clothing line. Time to start making a tribute video.

I was thinking that too. Maybe the Lisa Roberson show will go national. I just hope we still get to see her in front of the camara.

Was mildly shocked when i heard this, Lisa is pretty much the face of QVC, and most thought she would be around a lot longer, safe to say no one saw this one coming.

It almost seems unreal to see Lisa leaving the Q. It's not like you don't ever realize that it's going to end sometime, but once you find out that it finally will... it's surprising and shocking. And I hope that it's a 100% mutual split and that there's not any unknown behind the scenes drama that we don't know about (like when Joel left MST3K, but I'm nerding myself). All we can do is enjoy what's left of her schedule and wish her well on her future endeavors.

On the plus side, I'm sure that they'll give her a heck of a sendoff for her final show, hopefully not unlike Kathy Levine's show. But please, if you're doing a blooper reel, enough of the "ladder fail" clip. There's plenty more to pick from!

This has nothing to do with stupid stalkers(which wouldn't shocked me, if some of them are members of this site) this has to do with bigger and better things. I'm sure she has something big in the works. She is a business woman and a very good one at that. There is a life after QVC.

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

Noooooooooooo!!

While I knew that someday Lisa would be leaving QVC, I didn't expect it to come this soon. While I don't know the actual reason why she is leaving now. I'm sure that she has had numerous opportunities to leave QVC in the past and I am actually surprised that she didn't leave sooner. I seriously doubt if why she is leaving is because of the stalker issues but I am damn sure that her leaving isn't because of the idiots that don't know her or have never met her who don't have anything better to do then bash her.

I started watching QVC in 1997 when Kim Parrish joined as a host. She is from the area and I personally know her. I would watch her programs and I noticed another beautiful host on around the same time as Kim was and would also watch her. I soon found out that she not only was beautiful, but fun too watch and very knowledgeable about whatever she was presenting and over time I started watching her more then I did Kim. While QVC has several very beautiful ladies as hosts, models and guests. The way the channel has become the past few years Lisa was the only host that I watched. When she hosts her final show I won't be have any reason too watch QVC.

While we no longer will see Lisa on QVC, I am sure that we haven't seen the last of her and that she will be successful in whatever her new adventure is.

guys! We're all on the same page on this!
I must admit I will miss seeing her wear leather skirts and other leather she loves to wear. But I do give her my best!

My guess would be something to do with the Joan Rivers product line. Corporate position, national promotions? Its probably a big $$ deal and I bet she moves to NYC. She has always thought the world begins and ends in NYC. Thats my guess.

I knew this day was going to come, but didn't expect it to be this soon. Honestly it's going to be vereeeeey weird not seeing Lisa on QVC. I don't remember QVC without her. She was the reason I started watching shopping channels in the first place! As far as the reason she's leaving, I seriously doubt it has anything to do with the stalker thing. She probably just wants to do other stuff. 20 years is a long time for any job and she's not getting any younger, so if she wants a talk show or to do something else, now is the time. Whatever she does she knows we will support her and continue to follow her. Despite the stalker episodes of the past, surprisingly Lisa seems to be very into the social media thing. I am sure she will stay active online and be even more active once she leaves QVC. Finally some parting words for Lisa....THANK YOU!

Something most definetly happened.none of the people she is friends with,Momma Roe,Antonella Nester had no idea Lisa was going to leave.check Momma Roes facebook page https://www.facebook.com/MaryBethRoe?fref=nf Antonella who was doing a lead into the next show after Lisa last night basicaly told Lisa "Call me girl" and gave her wink as to say wtf is going on?maybe it was a challenge and Lisa lost.her show was due back in Feb,so she wasnt planning on leaving.

Hate to burst the bash the host gossipmongers bubble, something most definitely didn't happen. She made this decision on her own a few weeks ago (which just happen to be when she was on vacation, where people are known too make career decision changes). Don't believe what you see on "bash the hosts and gossipmonger trash message boards". Where some think they know everything about the shopping channels, but have been proven wrong numerous times.

"Lisa Robertson Hi Deborah, not being able to confide(-tell someone about a secret or private matter while trusting them not to repeat it to others) in people that I care for was a very stressful couple weeks. It is a relief to have that part over with!"

"Steve Bryant -When I left QVC of my own volition after 15 years in 2001, they did the same drawn out “farewell” with me. I hated it because it makes you a lame duck for a couple of months. But it was their football so I did what they wanted. But the long “goodbye” means it was her idea, not theirs. When they fired someone, he or she was gone immediately, no hoopla, nada!"
