The always inquisitive Williams invited the fabulous Carson Kressley (Queer Eye) to chat about his hit make-over show on Lifetime “How to Look Good Naked.” The two also discussed Carson’s upbringing on a Pennsylvania horse farm, including a comment from Kressley regarding when he first realized he was gay: “Basically, I think I came out and the doctor slapped my butt and I was like, that was hot.”

Here are a few sound bites from today’s show:
Carson on when he knew he was gay:
Wendy Williams: How old were you when you first realized you were gay?
Carson Kressley: Basically, I think I came out and the doctor slapped my butt and I was like, that was hot.
WW: Yeah. (laughing)
CK: And he’s a doctor!
WW: Yes. (laughing)
CK: I think I knew really young, when I was like four or five.
Carson in response to Wendy saying she is going to wear her bejeweled shoes with a wife beater:
CK: We don’t say wife beater, we say domestic partner beater now.
Carson in response to Wendy commenting that he was the stand-out “best friend in your head” member of Queer Eye’s Fab Five:
CK: I was the Farrah and I’m not gonna deny it.
Carson discussing Lifetime’s “How to Look Good Naked” and the last segment on the show, where the woman does a nude photo shoot:
CK: …ultimately when we get their self-esteem where it should be, we do a nude photo shoot. Which sounds crazy.
WW: Now, it’s tasteful nude…that part I don’t like.
CK: I’m not nude, but the woman is. (Audience laughter)
WW: The woman is. Now behind the scenes, are the cameramen seeing them stark naked or do they come out with paper [underwear] or pasties on?
CK: They um, we close the set down and it’s only like the two camera guys and me and they wear a robe and then after they do the lighting and everything and work with the photographer and feel comfortable, we remove the robe. There are no pasties, no nothing. I’ve seen more ladies anatomy than I’ve ever seen in my life.
WW: Makes you glad you’re gay doesn’t it?
CK: I was like, what’s that?!
Carson on growing up in a blue-collar town in Pennsylvania:
WW: So tell us where you grew up.
CK: I grew up in Allentown, Pennsylvania. (To someone screaming in the audience) We’ve got one person. We’ve got one person. I know you! (said jokingly) I went to high school with you! (To Wendy) There’s always one Allentonian in the crowd.
And uh, very like you know blue collar, middle class Pennsylvania and grew up on a horse farm.
