The folks over at Blogging Project Runway have started an online petition to get Tim Gunn a hosting gig on Saturday Night Live. In their words, "Tim is charming, handsome, witty and adorable. With extensive experience working before a live audience, including guest-hosting Regis and Kelly, we believe that Tim Gunn would be an ideal host for Saturday Night Live."Gunn is, of course, the Chair of Parsons School of Design's Fashion Department and den mother to Project Runway's contestants. I'm sure Gunn would ace the cue card reading requirement for hosting SNL, but I'd really only want to see him in a Andy Samberg digital short or dissing the lackluster sketches with his "make it work" mantra. In reality, you're more likely to see Gunn turn up on Antiques Roadshow with his miniatures collection, but you never know. With the NBC/Bravo connection, one big PR push could lead to another, and Gunn may wind up in the SNL driver's seat with Seal as the musical guest. If this sounds like something you want to see, you know what to do, fashionistas.

I think we need to focus on getting Tim Gunn back for next season's Project Runway first, no offense.
I would love to see him on SNL though.
