QVC host Kerstin Lindquist signs off after 11 years on Saturday Morning Q: ‘It’s all been so so good’
Kerstin Lindquist’s Saturday mornings will look very different in the future.
The longtime presenter of Saturday Morning Q has said goodbye to her QVC audience after eleven years on the shopping channel.
“It was all so good,” Lindquist told her fans on December 28, sitting next to her co-host Alberti Popaj.
“I think one of the funniest times we had was when we couldn’t stop laughing while we had to leave the set,” she said as she walked down memory lane.
“The Halloween shows are always my absolute favorite,” says Per We weekly.
“I know it sounds crazy, but some of my favorite memories were during the pandemic when no one was there,” she recalls.
QVC host Kristen Lindquist signed off her Saturday Morning Q for the final time on December 28, after 11 years of hosting the shopping show
“It was just us. We were trying to stay on the air for you and how we could still be together for you because that’s what this show is about and we were able to do that.”
Lindquist announced her departure from the show on December 21 with a video on social media.
“The time has come for me to really follow what the Lord has called me to do,” she said. The author of ‘Where’s My Crown for Acting Like Everything Is Fine?: Royally Surviving Life’s Waiting Periods’ said her new focus would be ‘making a bigger difference in women’s lives in the areas of wellbeing, health and faith.’
She said she also felt “called” to be at home more with her two teenage daughters and her son.
Lindquist said she would be on QVC a few more times during the month of January before leaving the network for good.
“Everyone says this, but it’s always the crew and the people behind it,” she told the audience. “You know what else I’m going to miss when it comes to you? Every Saturday I was allowed to sit with you. We almost had to have a talk show and we could feel you out there. … I’m going to miss that family feeling with our viewers every morning.”
Fellow QVC hosts Jennifer Coffey and Rachel Boesing sent warm wishes during the show. Before retiring, Lindquist received high praise for co-hosting for more than a decade.
“You have the biggest heart of anyone I have ever met and I love you very much, but most of all your faith inspires me every day and your ability to always give the most energy to everything you do,” Popaj told her.
The host became teary as she said goodbye to her co-host Alberti Popaj. “From taking care of your family, to taking care of the people here at work, to taking care of our customers at home, I love you and I’m really going to miss you,” he told her
During their farewell conversation, Lindquist told Popaj, “I think some of the funniest times we’ve had have been when we couldn’t stop laughing while we had to walk off the set. The Halloween shows are always my absolute favorite’
“From taking care of your family, to taking care of the people here at work, to taking care of our customers at home, I love you and I am truly going to miss you.”
The two longtime friends shared a tearful embrace before promoting their final product of the morning. Then, in a loving farewell, Lindquist signed off from the show for the final time.
“Thank you so much for being with me on this show for eleven years. You’ll have a fantastic new host next week and I can’t wait to see you all grow. This will be the best show of 2025.”
Lindqvist explained in a blog post that she will be very busy in the coming years, as she works as a health coach and her StRest podcast, and a new book deal.
