Watch out America! Carson Kressley’s new reality show “Carson Nation” premieres on OWN today!

Since his five-year stint as one of the fab five on Bravo’s Queer Eye for the Straight Guy, Carson Kressley has been busy hosting various show including True Beauty, Crowned: The Mother of All Beauty Pageants and How to Look Good Naked.
His latest show is his most ambitious and since it’s on OWN (Oprah Winfrey Network), my hunch is it’s of better quality! In Carson Nation, he travels to small towns throughout the U.S., making viewers’ lives better one person at a time. During these travels, Carson transforms lives with humor and style.
Carson tells the NY Post of his new show: “First of all, your show needs to be entertaining, second of all, it needs to be different and there are so many makeover shows that are truly superficial. It’s “we’ve changed your clothes, hair and make-up, so go conquer the world.” In this show, we’re really taking time to get to know people and hear their stories. You have to get to know someone to learn what’s going to work for them and what they can maintain. What I always try to do is do a version of the person, that is them – only better!”
“It boils down to me caring – I want to hear their story, I want to hear how I can make it better. That’s something Oprah has professed many times: people need someone in their life who cares. Who listens. Even though a makeover is an inherently superficial process, making sure they believe they are worth investing in through that process is an important message. By the time we’re done, not only do they look cuter, but they also feel better about themselves. I can literally hold that mirror up to them and say, “look at your potential! You didn’t think you could look like this, so there’s probably a lot of other things you can conquer that are way more important than having cute shoes.” Although cute shoes are very important [laughs].”
