Title: Todd Newton's new gig
Post by: narzo on February 19, 2018, 03:08:30 PM

Imagine my surprise when I turned on my former employer, currently known as "Evine", and saw Todd Newton hosting a show.  I'm not sure why he would want to work for a cable shopping network in Minneapolis, but who knows.  I just contacted my former floor director, who still works there, and he did indeed say Todd was now a "show host in training". 

Good luck Todd, enjoy those winters.

Todd worked for HSN for a while - this isn't new territory for him. He also completely understands the value of being a utility player when it comes to show biz - there isn't much he can't do - so why say no?  He's a great guy , a hard worker, and fantastic father . From personal experience working with him, I know he completely understands his priorities in life.

Agreed -- and if it's something he enjoys (I know I would) -- then good on him!

He's been popping up here on a semi-frequent basis, but I figured that they were just multiple one-off appearances.  I didn't get the impression that he was planning to move here, but I have no sources, so maybe he is.
