Suzanne Somers is in the House!

As many of you are aware, I work at ShopNBC, a multi-channel retailing primarily recognized as a home shopping network. This weekend we are welcoming Suzanne Somers, a legend in the home shopping industry, to ShopNBC. Regardless of anyone's opinion of Suzanne Somers, this is a HUGE win for ShopNBC. Suzanne was at HSN for 17 years and was a significant contributor to the success they have realized in recent years. Obviously, we hope the same bodes well for ShopNBC.

Today I attended a Suzanne Somers Meet and Greet session, where she spoke to a group of fifty or so team members about her life experiences, why she does what she does and why she is so excited to be working with ShopNBC. Clearly given her entertainment background, she is a wonderful speaker, yet at the same time seems to be very approachable. So much so that, when the Meet and Greet was over, the "entourage" were in front of us walking the same direction out of the studio I decided to catch up to her and asked her if she would be open to having her picture taken with me.

And voila!

It was a nice little highlight to the day especially given the entire site is intermittently down and we're working toward the eleventh hour making sure we have flawless execution for the Premiere of Suzanne's shows launching tomorrow night.

Keep your fingers crossed for us!
