Breakfast With Tim Gunn, Continued
BPR: Tim, how is your role of "producer" different from what you always did as the "mentor?"
TG: Honestly? It really is no different...but have you noticed that I am now credited as "co-host?"
BPR: no....errrr.... (gasp of realization) Wait. Does this mean that your name might be submitted to the Emmy Award Committee in the "Outstanding Host for a Reality Show" category?
TG: We'll see...
BPR: Have you been watching Project Runway All Stars?
TG: I have never ever seen even a single episode. I have no desire to watch. It pains me not to be with the designers.
BPR: How many more seasons of Project Runway are you committed to?
TG: Contractually? None, but I have cleared my calendar for the auditions. I have not been able to do them for the past few seasons, because I just didn't have enough notice.
BPR: Are you working on a new book?
TG: No, but I have a few ideas. You will be the first to know.
BPR: Thanks, Tim. Will you be doing Red Carpet commentary for any of the award shows this seasons.
TG: No. The entire GMA team is covering the Oscars this season.
BPR: Which is your favorite season of Project Runway?
TG: Eleven. There is much more ahead!
BPR: Which is your favorite challenge this season?
TG: I can't remember!
BPR: How do you like Zac Posen as a judge?
TG: He is like a breath of fresh air! I have known him for ages of course - since Parsons.
BPR: So far, I am loving his suits!
TG: You know he designs them himself.
BPR: No, I didn't realize... !! Will you ever return to the classroom?
TG: Yes, I believe so. I hope so, I would like to.
BPR: Will you being doing a tour for Fifth & Pacific, where fans will have the opportunity to meet you?
TG: No. Nothing is planned. I don't think we are doing these any more. I miss it.
BPR: Besides Project Runway, what other shows do you watch?
TG: I like comedies. The Big Bang Theory, How I Met Your Mother, Whitney...
BPR: Which Talk Show host is the most fun?
TG: Jimmy Fallon and Craig Ferguson.
BPR: Tim, tell us about your first kiss...
TG: I was six. It was Sally Harris. We were hanging upside-down on the jungle gym. Afterward we fell off in a fit of giggles.
BPR: Awwww... Thanks Tim!
TG: Thank you Laura and BPR.
