Tim Gunn on The Daily Show

Ah, Tim. If it wasn't for you, Project Runway would be a boring reality show about self-obsessed pseudo-designers who get more attention for being bitchy than for their occasionally half-decent creations. Fortunately, you are awesome, and keep me wanting more.

Yes, Tim Gunn, the man himself, recently appeared on The Daily Show with Jon Stewart to talk about the show, and about the importance of New York Fashion Week (which, if you haven't noticed, we've been covering extensively). However, the best part of the interview isn't what Tim says, but rather that Jon is apparently an enormous fan.

At one point he reveals to the fashion icon: "I think what's remarkable [about Project Runway] is that I don't know anything about fashion ... yet I'm beginning to understand it and appreciate it."

Well done, Tim! I wonder how many other people have been turned on to the fashion industry thanks to Project Runway. Anyone out there a Tim-Gunn convert?

Are you more into fashion thanks to Project Runway?

At that point they quickly (and happily) decided to concentrate entirely on producing the podcast. The show consisted of riding footage, top 5s, news, weather, trick-tips, event reviews and viewer feedback. This podcast is the best
