Ye Gods With Scott Carter

Tim Gunn, who after many years as a fashion educator at Parsons School for Design was introduced to American televisions as the stern but encouraging mentor to designers on the reality competition show Project Runway.

Project Runway has since returned screens sans Tim but he continues to appear on TV cameoing on CBS’s Elsbeth, advocating for the Charities he holds dear such as the American Cancer Society, The LGBTQ+ Victory Fund or sometimes just giving his trademark savvy yet gracious opinion on a different kind of art: cooking as guest judge for shows on The Food Network.
