Born as Colleen McCarthy, her television career goes back to the late ‘80s when she was frequently seen doing many infomercials on various TV channels – one of these infomercials was the short lived but popular microwave product called “Brown ‘n’ Crisp”. One of her first jobs as a journalist was in the Twin Cities, working as a reporter and as the “bargain hunter” talk show host on KSTP’s “Good Company”. She then hosted “The Mall of America Show” which secured her popularity and launched her into the circle of well-known local and television personalities. This also brought her much needed experience in world class shopping and TV hosting, which would later prove to be beneficial. In the early ‘90s, Colleen was offered a place on the Home Shopping Network’s team in Tampa, Florida, so she moved to Tampa with her family in 1994, and has been successfully working on HSN ever since.
Having had both experience and talent, Colleen’s style of hosting garnered a lot of attention, and she was soon known as a renowned host with features on “Access Hollywood”, “Bravo”, “Extra and Entertainment Tonight”, “E!”, “Dateline NBC” and “CNN”.

Blige and Queen Latifah. “Elle” magazine named her “The Unrivaled Queen of HSN Hostesses”, and she is still recognized among the most prosperous hosts in the business. So far, Colleen has sold hundreds of thousands of various products, constantly adding to er net worth too.
Apart from her career in journalism, Lopez has a passion for jewelry, and has earned an Accredited Jewelry Professional certificate from the GIA. She launched her own collection of jewelry and apparel for HSN in 2004, a brand known as “My Favorite Things” by Colleen Lopez Brand. In order to present the best to her viewers, she collaborates with manufacturers and designers from around the world, which gives her even more motivation, since she is an avid traveler. Her enthusiasm brought her another acknowledgement, as she was named “The Oprah of HSN” by Huff Post Style.
