Rumor has it that Jim Skelton said something inappropriate while on the air with Jill of Invicta and that apparently was the last straw. I read this quote from another website:

"It was the time he and Jill Somerstein were co hosting a show. Jim went off track as usual and asked Jill if she ever planned to get married, settle down and have some kids. Anyone could see she was uncomfortable with his banter, but Jill's a trooper and a business person. She went along and told him she would some day. He then suggested she might have twins named Chaos (?) and Holocost. His jest was obviously embarressing and very offensive to her. The broadcast went dead for a few seconds, and when it came back on, Jill looked like she was close to tears. Skelton realized he'd crossed a line and apologized on air, but the damage was done and it was obviously permenant. The ShopNBC call center was swamped w/ angry calls. Retractions and disclaimers were quietly made."

They hired Tim Temple back just before his ouster and it appears that they were no longer happy with his antics. He can now be seen on WOW or worldofwatches.com
