Perhaps Project Runway's Tim Gunn should take his own advice and "Make it work."

The Bravo TV star may not be joining judges Nina Garcia and Michael Kors and host Heidi Klum (who also executive produces the show) when Runway returns for its fourth season, Entertainment Weekly reports in its new issue.

His responsibilities as chair of the fashion design department at New York City's Parsons school, where Gunn, 53, has worked for 23 years, make him unavailable for filming during the academic year.

Last season – which resulted in a win by bad-boy designer Jeffrey Sebelia – began shooting after the end of a semester. Next season's schedule reportedly has not been locked in.

"As we have in past seasons, we will find a way to work around everyone's schedules, and are confident the team will be back," said Sarah Rothman, a spokeswoman for The Weinstein Company, which produces the show.

Gunn's good-natured mentoring of the Runway contestants has made him a fan favorite – and the feeling is mutual. "I'm the luckiest man on earth," he told PEOPLE earlier this year about his newfound fame.

It just wouldn't be the same without Tim!!! I'm not sure I'd even tune in with him gone because I mainly love the show for his podcasts!

MAKE IT WORK BRAVO!!:mad:

Tim is the highlight of that show for me, I love Tim. Also a fan of his podcasts.

I echo Kristi's sentiment: BRAVO - MAKE IT WORK!

Just bumping this thread up; it looks like Tim Gunn will be back for the fourth season! :D I just don't know that I could have watched without him.

I don't watch the show, have never seen this person. I find it interesting, though, that the scheduling problem was blamed on being a chair at Parsons, because ...

I work part-time at Elisabeth, which is a Liz Claiborne store. LC just hired Gunn (http://phx.corporate-ir.net/phoenix.zhtml?c=82611&p=irol-newsArticle&ID=956778&highlight=) as high-level fashion guru of sorts -- a new position created just for him -- and there was a kerfluffle from Parsons about that. I thought I'd read somewhere that he was no longer going to be a chair at Parsons, though he was going to continue to work there.
