David Venable on QVC

"In the Kitchen" hasn't been the same since they canned 'Sponge-Bob-High-Pants.' (He had a tiny, tiny cameo in 'A Perfect Murder' with Goop, Mr. CJZ, and yummy Viggo.)

"People didn't speak of David and his mother or Mrs. Venable and her son, they said 'David and Violet, Violet and David are staying at the Lido, they're staying at the Ritz in Madrid. David and Violet, Violet and David have taken a house at Biarritz for the season, and every appearance, every time we appeared, attention was centered on us! - everyone else! Eclipsed!"

I was watching once and this old bitty was on the phone and asks "David, when are you going to get married?" And he responded without missing a beat "Well, Miss_____, I think I'm gonna have to come by your house so we can have along talk about that, OK?"

I cannot believe there are people this completely naive.

a long*

David used to hang out on Rehoboth Beach in Delaware and pick up giant muscle studs to take back to his room to fuck him silly.

I seriously doubt he's doing anything but cooking for his hidden hubby with his chunky self these days.

Venable in 2002

It's a shame he turned into a pig. I've watched him sporadically over the years. He is great at what he does; very personable.

There was a lengthy thread about him not too long ago.

R7,What have you turned into over the years besides an asshole? Or have you always been one?

HOT x 10 ! ! !

Crix belly. But yesterday I saw him trying to sell that little computer and he had a nice fatguy basket down there (probably "all-balls" though).

Awww....I lubs me some David. He's like the gay big brother I never had.

R3, it's not "old bitty," it's "old biddy."

A "biddy" is a hen, so it really means "old hen." In the old days, a "hen party" was a bunch of gossipy women having a women-only party or luncheon. "Old biddy" usually refers to an old, busybody woman with too much time on her hands.

I see "old bitty" online all the time and it makes no sense. What did you think "bitty" stood for? Small?

"Biddy" is actually a very interesting word because it has two separate origins, both fairly well-documented, which is unusual for a slang term. The primary meaning of "biddy" is "chicken," and it first appeared in the early 17th century. The word probably came from the nonsense syllables used to call chickens -- something like "here biddybiddybiddy," I suppose. By the late 18th century "biddy" had been adopted as a derogatory slang term for women, much in the same unfortunate way that "chick" was in the 1960's.

However, "biddy" in this sense might have died a welcome death had it not been for the influx of Irish immigrants into the U.S. in the early 19th century. Young Irish women often had their passage paid by upper-class American families, for whom they would then work as domestic servants while they paid off their debt. The practice was so widespread that such women came to be known as "Biddies," from a shortening of "Bridget," a common Irish women's name. This use of "biddie" reinvigorated the word, and ever since it has been employed by insolent children to torment their elders.

Love me some David

Ditto 17

cutie

The "bitty" poster posted the same thing on the two older threads that he did on this one.

Growing old with friends, lovers, and family is one of life's great joys. While we all change outwardly along the way, what's inside becomes even more loving and caring. David zest for life exemplifies this, and that's why so many people love this man.

exactly. I don't give a flying fig what his exterior looks like because it's his heart which is so loving and beautiful. That man brings more joy to folks who have NONE in their lives...even IF it were fake(and I don't think that it is) he STILL is a blessing to the thousands of lonely family-less souls who watch him as if he were their own family.

Nothing is better than seeing David enjoy a big spoonful of the warm peanut butter, fresh from the VitaMix.

They save the making of the peanut butter for the last minutes of the VitaMix hour, because it is just that powerful.

Does he make the Yum-Yum Face (TM) when he cums?

If one were to ask David how he feels,he would tell you it's true. This man truly cherishes his fans, and they love him back.

Love the Happy Dance !

More people should have David's natural exuberance, zest for life and food, nice voice, and yes, I think he is sexy too, I don't care if he needs to lose 20 pounds.

He is a likable fellow and a nice role model for gays. I would not kick him out of bed.

You nasty queens, stop being so bitchy. Save your hatred for the NY queens Anderson and Andy and Nate and Jimmy, all divas.

R23, Is the OP of the big , round , butt thread.

LOL r23

David's been on the Q for years now. They don't keep you around that long unless you're an exceptional employee, not to mention an exceptional human being. You go, David !

R26 You make a very good point. I know that gay men aren't interested in sucking up to closed minded right wingers, BUT, just picture a lady of a certain age raised in the church who has little to no actual interaction with gay men. Their only info comes from the lunatic preachers and such who spout inaccurate tripe about the gay male population. Then lo and behold, that same lady has grown to know and love David like a surrogate son over the years and boom! she realizes that she actually LIKES the one gay man in her personal frame of reference. That's the sort of thing which slowly over time changes hearts and minds even more than the chattering class can ever do.

Indeed!

David has probably made gays more likeable and loveable than any other gay celebrity in America.

David Venable is NOT gay.

Shut up, cunt

[quote]He is a likable fellow and a nice role model for gays.

I agree that he's likable, but a "nice role model for gays"? Give me a break! The guy isn't even openly gay to the public.

Point taken(in a way) but in that sense neither am I. I have never once announced to a bunch of strangers that I am a hetero woman.

David does not do one thing to butch it up or keep it vague(like AC did in his earlier years) so at least you can't call him closeted.

Many people in the public eye prefer to keep a low profile when it comes to their personal lives, and their is nothing wrong with that. Shouting from the rooftops to the world that your gay doesn't make you a role model.

There is a popular female host on the Q who does not make it a habit to discuss her personal life in detail.There has been speculation as to whether or not she might be gay because she is single and never mentions a boyfriend. Last week Nancy Grace blurted out on her national television show that this host has been the victim of FOUR STALKERS over the past several years,one of whom actually bought her an engagement ring and believed that she was going to marry him. Another actually showed up at the studio and attempted to approach her.People have good reasons for their choices . You should never be judjemental when you don't know the facts.

He must sell a shit load of product. I watched a few weeks in a row and his Sunday show is the same exact show week after week. Same guests with the same exact products. They might as well show a video week after week. Up next, Lock & Lock food savers!

i remember seeing David on the beach in his speedo. He had overly manicured chest hair and quite an impressive mound in his trunks.

r39, if you see David on the beach and hear a strange sound of dissonant music and clashing tin, run!

r2 gets the laurel crown today.

I swear, if you could drop a bomb on this thread, you'd wipe-out every straight woman infesting Datalounge.

One mention of this queen or that shopping network and it's like posting a topic on 'diabetic baked goods', the fucking fraus come crawling out of every dark spot.

Quick somebody, spray them with Raid and light a match!

What are Diabetic baked goods ?

EVERYBODY wants some David. Calm down, oh green eyed monster.

I like David's show a lot. It's very homey and my lifestyle is anything but these days so it's nice to relax "in the kitchen." I keep it on in the background on Sunday afternoons.

Any dish (no pun) on the men on David's show? Mark Charles is a big queen and wears a wedding ring--is he married to a man? I like the little guy who sells the oversized spatula. You can tell that David likes him, too.

Oh please, R42. Like every queen is some circuit queen or NYSD queen.

Face it, a lot more gay men (especially those of a certain age) watch this shit and they enjoy it.

R42, Why are you on this thread ? Crushin on David !

R42 , Needs a good spanking with the big spatula. Maybe that will improve his attitude.

What's wrong with you?

Always goes back to the mother.

Lovin me some David right now on the Q

r30, I agree with you.

I would do David.

I like him.

He is sure better than A/C!

Bet his member is big

I always think those customer phone in chats raving about the product are actually the backstage staff.

he used to look really good:

Really, R56? You bumped this old as ass thread to put on a picture that is R6 on the first page? What the hell is wrong with you?

Remember when he announced on air he had AIDS?

And everyone was like, "Cancel my order."

Remember when he was filling in for Regis and Kelly said "Don't touch me, God only knows where that hand has been."

That was Clay Aiken, ASSHOLE @ R59

He is not a fag and I'm the dame to prove it!

Wow. David v was on with a guest named mark Charles today . I've never seen such hand flailing on tv before, are they openly out or are they just "having fun"?

He had a live show in Chapel Hill, NC last week -- did anyone sample his goodies while he was visiting?

[quote]i remember seeing David on the beach in his speedo. He had overly manicured chest hair and quite an impressive mound in his trunks.

What R39 fails to mention is that Venable had beached himself when his pod of fellow whales were disoriented by the ammo blasts coming from the US Navy's offshore practice drills.

[quote]EVERYBODY wants some David. Calm down, oh green eyed monster.

Well, R44, there's obviously enough of Venable to go around.

This one has 90s porn star hair.

I was flipping thru the channels tonight and David was selling a rain shower head attachment (as opposed to, say, cookware or fattening NY-style coffee cakes). He made two veiled references to being a homosexual...first he said that he particularly enjoyed the rain shower head whilst getting massaged in the shower (I gasped). Then he moved on to sell AirPods with noise cancelling technology and said something like, "If you're like me and your partner is loud in bed--I mean that they snore--then these are right up your alley."

We all know a woman isn't massaging him in the shower or snoring in his bed. Is he inching out of the glass closet for all the QVC grandmothers to embrace his homosexuality? Apparently now instead of having callers call in, viewers congregate on his FB page. I don't really care enough to look at the comments, but I wonder if any of them are picking up on the gay references.
