Home Shopping Network Host Faints on Air on QVC, Co-Host Carries on Speech

QVC Host Cassie Slane is shown fainting during a telesales clip, in this footage from last Sunday. In less than 3 days, this clip was watched 770,000 times and it looks like it's going to reach the million views bar.

Most viewers were amazed and unpleasantly surprised by co-host Dan Hughes's reaction. As his colleague lied unconscious in his arms, his first instinct was to keep on selling.

If anyone is wondering, the segment was dedicated to a kid-friendly Android tablet called the FunTab Pro. The manufacturer probably stands to benefit from the unusual form of BTL advertising, so don't be surprised if this starts a trend and you will start to see an outburst of similar incidents.

According to New York Daily News, Slane is fine and has only suffered from a "brief fainting spell," QVC spokesmen say, in response to letters from concerned fans.

As they say, the show must go on.

they should have told the viewers what happened, instead of pretending nothing happened by continuing to "sell" the product..very tacky in my opinion.
