    1. If he wants his life to be private, why are you saying this about him? Did you get his permission to speak on his behalf?

    2. David is my favorite… Why would sexual orientation even be brought up ? He is a master of his craft a true gift to QVC. Wishing him health and happiness always.

    3. yeah, right. thats why he still denies it. and who cares anyway, ive known him for years, hes very down to earth and very sweet and i have known him since he first started on qvc. just because he has never been married and doesnt have kids, doesnt mean he is gay and i wouldnt care if he was, many of my friends are and my son is lgbtq as well…i would support him either way.

    4. actually, i bumped into him at BJ’s in MIllsboro, DE several years ago…I spoke to him for a bit and he introduced me to a “friend” he was with… named Jimmy.

  1. I don’t care if he’s gay or not! He makes me laugh, brings me joy when I’m down and for that reason I call him “ my friend” annie

    1. He is the nicest man . He speaks lovely of his mother and family gatherings ! I so enjoy his smile and very thoughtful comments . Also shares his stories of childhood. He makes me feel at home and comfortable . He portrays a very caring man ! All around a very nice person .

  2. My thoughts ~~ David is a fine example of a SOUTHERN GENTLEMAN!! This GEORGIA PEACH enjoys his demeanor, his wit, his culinary knowledge and fantastic abilities when it comes to selling ANYTHING and the uncanny ability to make a person feel like “” I JUST GOT TO HAVE THAT!” That, my friends is a well- honed talent!! Continued success!!!

  3. I can’t get QVC,as I don’t have cable. I use to love watching David. I think he is funny,warm.i would love for him to cook for me anytime. I love to watch him do his little dance.So David, what do you say,about coming some mac and cheese God Bless. Keep cooking much success

    1. If you have a smart phone, you can download the QVC app and watch all the shows on the main QVC channel and the other channels, like QVC2, QVC3, etc. That’s what I did a couple of years ago when I cancelled cable for financial reasons. I knew I’d miss seeing David and my other favorite show hosts, so I’m really glad that it turned out I didn’t have to when I got the app!

  4. David is great on QVC. I do worry about his continuous weight gain. He, along with several of the other hosts, gain weight each year. I known the camera adds 10pounds on you but his health is declining in front of our eyes. 🙁

  5. I love David on QVC. He’s so cute and has a great personality. I would also like to meet him someday. Love the happy dance. He looks like a cuddly bear when he “dances”. Keep him on the show , he’s amazing.

  6. I think being a host is a job and folks need to remember this. It’s not an interview about their personal life including their sexual orientation, weight loss or gain, and their interests. I think if you think about it for a moment you wouldn’t want these same things to be a part of your job.

  7. Been watching David since the beginning and I don’t even cook. He makes me smile and sometimes laugh out loud. His private life should remain private. Who cares?

  8. Exactly. Could care less about any host’s off work lives…none of my biz…just compellingly keep me interested and entertained and occasionally motivated to buy (!) when on screen!

  9. I couldn’t care less if he’s gay – I want to know how he’s losing weight! He’s done it before then packed on the pounds. Now he looks trimmer. How?

  10. LOVE LOVE LOVE David!! Who cares about his PERSONAL life! That is PERSONAL and PRIVATE and should remain so. I would say to any of you who are questioning these private matters –IT’S NONE OF YOUR D### BUSINESS!! Now, my husband laughs at me for watching “In the
    Kitchen With David” every Sunday morning. He says, and I quote, “just where art we going to put all this stuff you’re buying?” I tell him not to worry, because I just have to have this item, that item and then some more. I could probably “host” a show right from my home with all the wonderful stuff I have purchased! And, I gotta say, it’s all because of David’s magnificent personality and ability to SELL! Anybody that is that talented is ACES in my book — because my earlier career was in Sales and I know how difficult it can be.

    1. You are so right. I order stuff. Have it sent to the house while I’m outta state. My DIL and grandkids think it’s Christmas and I love the reactions I get. Esp when I ordered that pint ice cream making appliance I don’t even know the name of! Leave his private personal life private and personal.
