QVC host Sandra Bennett broke down in tears while marking two decades on the network.
Co-hosts Alberti Popaj and Meghan Murray made a surprise appearance alongside the presenter over the weekend.
Popaj gushed, “I love you, and I would never miss your 20th anniversary,” to which Bennett responded with emotion.
“Oh, shoot, you’re gonna make me cry,” she replied in footage from the sweet moment.
“This is the threesome that hangs out at Meghan’s pool. We have had so many dinners together. We have shared so many laughs over the years. Oh, darn it, Alberti, you’ve made me cry.”
Popaj quipped “Good!” before adding, “They’re happy tears!” Murray stood nearby laughing, thrilled by her co-star’s reaction.
“You are not only gorgeous on the outside, and everybody can see that in the whole entire country and on the planet, but you are even more beautiful inside, and you are a true friend,” Popaj went on in the anniversary tribute.
As Bennett, 56, wiped her eyes, she said to the pals, “I love you,” and joked, “I love him a little less because he made me cry.”
Bennett took to social media, calling the on-camera celebration, “One of my fav moments from last night.”

The longtime TV personality added in the caption, “We talk nonstop, but something about seeing [Popaj] walk on set brought me to tears.”
Bennett — who co-hosts “Friday Night Beauty” with Popaj — thanked Murray for “arranging” the moment, noting that, “The three of us have been through soooo much together off camera.”
She gushed, “Great times, painful situations, the works! I was so surprised that for the first time in 20 yrs, I didn’t even realize that a product had SOLD OUT!”
“We wanted TEARS! 😭 😂👏,” Murray wrote in the comments. “So proud of you and what you have achieved. You’re a special friend to me and it was a privilege to be a part of your anniversary show. ❤️❤️ ❤️❤️.”
This isn’t the first time the camera has caught a sensitive moment on the beloved shopping network.
Last month, host Toni Brattin — while displaying her “Salon Select Wig” from the back — suffered onscreen embarrassment after accidentally saying “blowjob” instead of “blowout” during a segment.
Bennett’s landmark career anniversary comes just over a month after QVC host Rick Domeier, who has been on the network for 32 years, announced on air that he’ll retire at the end of the year.
“We both agreed that now’s the perfect time for me to kind of cruise down retirement road while most of this engine is still functioning,” Dormeir said of his wife, Amy Domeier.
“That’s going to give me the next few months to thank the incredible people I work with backstage, the producers, the directors, the on-air talent and thank the most important person at QVC, which is the QVC customer, for having been with me and accepted me for what will be 32 years,” he added.
