QVC’s Kerstin Lindquist bid a fond farewell to Saturday Morning Q after being part of the show for nearly 11 years.
“It’s all been so so good,” Lindquist said on Saturday, December 28, alongside her cohost Alberti Popaj. “I think some of the funniest times we’ve had have been when we can’t stop laughing where we’ve had to walk off set. The Halloween shows are always my absolute favorite as well.”
Lindquist also recalled filming the show during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020.
“I know it sounds crazy, but some of my favorite memories were during the pandemic when there was nobody here,” she shared. “It was just us. We were trying to stay on the air for you and how we could still be together for you because that’s what this show is all about and we did it.”
On December 21, Lindquist announced she would be leaving QVC after 13 years to focus more time on family, as well as faith and wellness in women’s lives.
While she still has six more QVC shifts in January 2025, Lindquist couldn’t help but share how important Saturday Morning Q was to her life for more than a decade.
“Everybody says this but it’s always the crew and it’s the people behind it,” she shared with viewers. “You know what else I’m going to miss when it comes to you? Every Saturday, I got to sit with you. We got to have almost like a talk show and we could feel you guys out there. … I’m going to miss that family feeling with our viewers every morning.”

In addition to receiving positive messages from her friends and fellow QVC hosts Jennifer Coffey and Rachel Boesing during the show, Lindquist also received high praise and compliments from her longtime cohost.
“You have the biggest heart of any person that I’ve ever met and I love you dearly, but more than anything, your faith inspires me every single day and your ability to always bring the most energy to everything that you do,” Popaj said. “From taking care of your family to taking care of the people here at work to taking care of our customers at home. I love you and I’m truly going to miss you.”
Lindquist embraced Popaj in a hug before wiping away tears and presenting her final product of the show.
“Thank you guys so much for being with me for 11 years on this show,” she said when signing off. “Next week, you get a fantastic new host and I can’t wait to see you all grow. This is going to be the best show in 2025.”
Courtesy of Jennifer Coffey/nstagram Longtime QVC program host Jennifer Coffey announced she is leaving the network at the end of the year. “Join me please for my final show on New Year’s Eve. So fitting!” Coffey wrote via Instagram on Tuesday, November 19. “We close out one chapter and begin another. I can’t wait to […]
As Lindquist prepares for a new chapter of her life, she revealed in a blog post that she will be working on her “StRest” podcast, health coaching and a book deal that includes a devotional coming in 2025.
“This has not been an easy decision but at the same time it’s been extremely simplistic,” she wrote via her blog. “I am leaving because the Lord has shown me it’s time to use the gifts He has given me to serve women more pointedly in faith and wellness.”
Saturday Morning Q airs on QVC Saturdays at 10 a.m. ET.
