Currently, Carson is a key judge on the TV series RuPaul\u2019s Drag Race<\/em>, which continues to win multiple EMMYs. New fan favorites include his interior design show, Get A Room with Carson &<\/em> Thom<\/em>, Freeform\u2019s Wrap Battle<\/em>, and his new home entertainment talk show, Couched<\/em>, where he interviews A-list celebrities & elite interior designers.<\/p>\n \u201cWe are honored and enthusiastic to have Carson Kressley serve as our honorary host at our 65th<\/sup> Anniversary Gala celebration. The world of EMS often sits in the shadows and we hope that with Carson\u2019s presence we can raise awareness about the crucial state our industry is in.\u00a0 Our hope is that with this knowledge we will grow public support of our nonprofit lifesaving mission,\u201d said Larry Wiersch, CEO of Cetronia Ambulance Corps.<\/p>\n The night will be extra special as the clocks turn back to the 1950s, when the organization was founded.
