"[In 2024], Heidi sent me a text saying, 'There's talk about bringing Project Runway back with us, with you and me, and would you do it?' And I said, 'Would I do it? Of course, there's not a moment of hesitation in me... So Heidi and I were texting and texting, and several months later, she sent me a text asking, 'Are you happy with your contract?' I'm a truth-teller. I don't even mince words. I said, 'Well, I haven't seen a contract.' And she said, 'You haven't?' No."
"[So I called my agent, and he knew things were going on, but he contacted the executive producers of this new show, and they said, 'We don't want him.' And [my agent] said, 'Well, he's done 19 seasons of Runway, 16 with Heidi. The two of them won an Emmy together as hosts, and now you're going to separate them?' And they said yes."
Project Runway returned for Season 21 with Heidi Klum as host, Nina Garcia and Law Roach as judges, and Christian Siriano as mentor. Tim Gunn co-hosted for 16 seasons and left in 2018 to create Making the Cut on Amazon Video. Gunn expected to be invited back for the reboot and exchanged texts with Heidi Klum about returning. Gunn's agent contacted the new executive producers and was told they did not want Gunn, despite his long tenure and past Emmy win with Klum. Producers later approached Gunn about a small cameo after initially declining to include him.
