Home shopping is getting wild on QVC after wig designer Toni Brattin experienced an unforgettable blooper on live TV.
“This texture and wave pattern,” Brattin said on Tuesday, August 4, when describing her salon select wig. “Again, it looks like you went and got a b*** job — blowout — at your salon, and it looks beautiful.”
While the designer tried her best not to burst out laughing after realizing her incorrect words, host Terri Conn swept in like a total pro.
“All right, here’s what’s happening today. We’re having a huge beauty sale,” Conn, 51, said while keeping a straight face. “Everything ships to you for free, but that goes away at the end of the day. I will remind you that this is a one time only price where the price goes up at the end of the show.”
The moment quickly grabbed the attention of the internet, with Jimmy Fallon poking fun at the moment during his monologue.
“During a recent QVC segment on wigs, one of the hosts had a bit of a slip-up,” Fallon, 51, shared on the Wednesday, August 5, episode of The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon before playing the clip. “By the way, the wigs are totally sold out. Note to all the married men out there: The wig is only available on your birthday.”
The QVC family appeared to have a great sense of humor over the live TV moment while sharing their own unique takes on social media.
“Talk about EASY PAYS…” fashion designer Lawrence Zarian commented. Fellow designer Mally Roncal added, “And I love that you’re wearing my dress! 👗 🥹🥹🥹🥹 SO. FREAKING. GOOD!!!”
Even celebrities chimed in on the viral moment, with former Queer Eye star Karamo Brown writing, “I’m buying one just because 😂😂😂.”
For those curious about Brattin’s wig, the item is still available in 11 colors. The wig “features a fresh, sophisticated style with layers of softly curled hair at the front and sides and a collar-length back,” according to QVC’s website.
This isn’t the first time QVC has gone viral for a hilarious live TV moment. In March, fashion designer Kim Gravel couldn’t believe a testimony from a viewer.
Some QVC shoppers can’t help but make a connection with some of the network’s products — and hosts. Over the years, viewers have developed close bonds with longtime program hosts who have a gift of selling everything from fashion and beauty products to food and electronics. Every so often, some of the program hosts decide […]
“I wanted to tell you that I got that blouse with the tassels, and I used to wear the tassels on my pasties,” the caller said. “Do you know what pasties are? Well, I had tassels on my pasties.”
Gravel, 55 — who is celebrating her 10-year anniversary at QVC this month — called the caller her “emotional support diva.”
“That’s the fun of live TV,” she later exclusively told Us. “You never know what a caller is going to say. Moments like that are exactly why I love taking calls during shows. It reminds me that we’re all just women having a good time talking about clothes — and apparently tassels!”
