The headline’s “new hosts” were part of a larger HSN staffing reset tied to the shopping network’s move from St. Petersburg, Florida, to QVC’s campus in West Chester, Pennsylvania. Although the supplied MSN record carries a June 20, 2026 publication date, the underlying report was originally published by Us Weekly on August 2, 2025, after HSN announced the additions on Instagram on July 27, 2025.

HSN added six hosts: Jasmine Brooks, Clarke Wolfe, Lesley Machado, Brynne Edwards, Rebekah Wood and Sarah Timm. Their arrival followed the studio relocation and was intended to replenish and reshape the on-air team serving HSN viewers, brands and product vendors.

Brooks described HSN as a childhood dream and said she wanted to present beauty products, naming Tarte mascara, Beekman makeup remover, Philosophy Radiant Grace shower gel and Lancôme foundation among her favorites. Wolfe, an actress who had spent nearly 20 years in Los Angeles, shadowed HSN host Debbie Denmon during a presentation by designers Mark Badgley and James Mischka. Wolfe said she hoped eventually to host a Badgley Mischka segment herself.

Machado returned to HSN after a two-year break and said she had previously worked as a host for 12 years. She identified herself as HSN’s only Latina on-air host and expressed particular interest in working with celebrity chefs Curtis Stone, Jet Tila and Emeril Lagasse. Edwards said she wanted to cover beauty, fashion and jewelry, including G by Giuliana, while emphasizing her interest in the stories behind brands and product development.

Wood brought her three daughters to West Chester during the audition process to explore the area ahead of a potential move. She highlighted Badgley Mischka and the Shark FlexStyle Air Styling and Drying System. Timm said she was preparing for Beekman 1802 beauty programming and DG2 Denim shows with Sam Saboura; she also singled out Heavy Duty Origami shelves as a favorite HSN product.

Former QVC host Mary Beth Roe, who had retired after 37 years, returned part time to help train new hosts for both QVC and HSN over a four-to-five-week period.

ConsumerEXP analysis: The additions were not simply a seasonal talent refresh. By pairing new presenters with established hosts, brands and veteran trainer Mary Beth Roe, HSN was rebuilding the relationship-based selling infrastructure needed to preserve viewer trust and vendor continuity after relocating its production base.
