“Project Runway” Winner Jay McCarroll Takes It To Donny Deutsch

After being given some unsolicited business advice on “The Big Idea With Donny Deutsch,” “Project Runway” winner Jay McCarroll shot back with some barbs of his own [via]:

DEUTSCH: So, I mean, do you demur a point that Cameron Diaz could literally walk out and put a toilet paper holder on her head...

Mr. McCARROLL: No, come on.

DEUTSCH: ...and that would become fa...

Mr. McCARROLL: I don't...

DEUTSCH: I disagree with you.

Mr. McCARROLL: (Sighs) Well, I don't know, really. And do I really care? I don't know.

DEUTSCH: Do you?

Mr. McCARROLL: Toilet paper holder on her head?

DEUTSCH: You know what I'm talking about, the things where they--those little knit things that hold the toilet paper?

Mr. McCARROLL: Like a tea coz--like this?

DEUTSCH: Yes.

Mr. McCARROLL: Are you mocking me, Donny Deutsch?

DEUTSCH: No, no, no.

Mr. McCARROLL: Jeez!

DEUTSCH: We never mock the guests.

Mr. McCARROLL: Why do you keep plugging at me?

DEUTSCH: We never...

Mr. McCARROLL: Let's talk about you.

DEUTSCH: What would you like to talk about? Ask me.

Mr. McCARROLL: Who picked out what you're wearing today?

DEUTSCH: I...

Mr. McCARROLL: Did you blindly go into your closet...

DEUTSCH: Oh, come on.

Mr. McCARROLL: ...pick out the stupidest thing to wear?

DEUTSCH: Actually, I dis--first of all, you know what? Carson Kressley was on here and he endorsed what I wear. I actually think I'm a very good dresser.

Mr. McCARROLL: Our buddy Carson Kressley.

DEUTSCH: What is wrong with the way I'm dressed? This is very simple, and I think it's hard to argue with any of it.

Mr. McCARROLL: Oh, it's good for--see, I don't get into that. I mean...

DEUTSCH: OK.

Mr. McCARROLL: ...people--I don't know if I'll ever be one of those people who--like a Carson Kressley who can pick clothes out and be like, `Oh, here's your new image,' because I'm all for people being who they are.

DEUTSCH: OK.

Mr. McCARROLL: And that's why I'm different from you.
