The show features Philipps engaging in lively interviews with guests like Tina Fey and Bette Midler. Executive produced by Caissie St. Onge and Michael Gleason, the series has been a hit with audiences, showcasing a fresh take on the talk-variety show format.
In addition to “Busy This Week,” Qurate Retail Group has been expanding its content offerings, partnering with personalities like Jennie Garth and Ana Gasteyer for recurring appearances on their streaming platforms. Garth and Gasteyer will be judges on the upcoming season of the series “The Ultimate Gift Wrapping Challenge,” which premieres on Nov. 2.
Furthermore, Qurate Retail Group has recently teamed up with USA Pickleball to provide coverage of games and tournaments for the fast-growing sport. This includes a live stream of the USA Pickleball National Championships, set to take place from Nov. 9-17.
With the success of “Busy This Week” and other innovative programming, QVC and HSN are continuing to push the boundaries of shoppable entertainment. The show’s second season renewal is a testament to its engaging and entertaining format, which resonates with viewers looking for a unique shopping experience.
Fans can look forward to the return of “Busy This Week” on Nov. 6, with four holiday-themed episodes to round out Season 1. Additionally, QVC+ is offering “Busy This Week: The Aftershow,” featuring insights from St. Onge and QVC personality Amy Stran, as well as a “Best of Busy This Week” highlight reel focusing on the featured items for sale in each episode.
Overall, QVC’s commitment to innovative programming and engaging content has solidified its position as a leader in the world of shoppable entertainment. With the renewal of “Busy This Week” and other exciting partnerships on the horizon, viewers can expect even more captivating and unique programming from the home shopping giant in the future.
