UPDATE: Multiple sources are reporting the QVC host featured in this video is Shawn Killinger and not Jane Treacy

QVC shopping channel host Shawn Killinger and designer Isaac Mizrahi found themselves in a heated discussion — not about spring fashion trends but whether or not the moon is a planet.

It all started with Killinger's comment about one of Mizrahi’s sweaters, “It kind of looks like what the Earth looks like when you're a bazillion miles away from the planet Moon.”

“The planet Moon…” replied Mizrahi.

“From the planet Moon?… From the moon,” Killinger said. “Isn’t the moon a star?”

Needless to say, the segment was all downhill from there.

The two continued to discuss whether or not the moon was a planet or a star. But we’ll just end the debate right here. According to NASA, the moon is classified as neither a star nor a planet, but rather as the Earth’s satellite. Thank you QVC for this teachable moment.
