Michael Kors' Lucky Charms Commercial, Dating History & More Revealed (VIDEO)

The always-quotable Michael Kors sat down with "20/20" on Friday night to talk about his rise in the fashion royalty ranks, creating clothes adored by soccer moms, celebrities, and First Ladies alike.

Sprinkled among ABC's Elizabeth Vargas' gushing praise ("You travel like a rock star!") were some seriously adorable gems from the designer's past.

Our top three favorite moments:

1. As a young kid in Long Island, Kors made a brief foray into child acting that included the cutest commercial for Lucky Charms we've ever seen (at 3:01). "They taste like...marshmallows!" Somebody get this little blondie an agent.

2. Kors assures a Vargas that yep, he always knew he was gay (at 3:34). This was abundantly clear since the time he dated a girl "because her mom had a great wardrobe." Recalled Kors, "I used to spend half of our dates sitting at the kitchen table talking to her mom about clothes." Totally unsurprising, totally charming.

3. Thankfully, Vargas makes sure to include a couple of Kors' all-time snarkiest quips from the "Project Runway" judging circle. Among them is this pearl: "She looks like an amish cocktail waitress."

I no longer get Bravo on my cable system, so I had almost forgotten about Michael's snarky comments. I used to take notes, so I could remember them all!

his remarks were the highlight of the show for me. the best one was, "Tacky. Tacky Tacky." it's the way he said it that was hilarious.

Great perfume! The Michael Kors classic scent is the only perfume I own, and I wear it daily!

I think it was the POOF! in the marshmallows that afflicted him with gayness.

There is something very appealing about Mr. Kors. Yes, he's talented, but I think it's his authenticity and love for life that make him truly fab. Live long and (continue to) prosper Michael.

Vapid and self absorbed. In the MTV Best dressed slide show, there is one dress by him- VERY blue and obvious- no interest. I can only imagine how he would have ripped someone on Project Runway for the same dress. It's great if your objective is to look like a mod Smurf.

i love michael Kors, his designs are fresh, functional and real. He is the epitome of american style. He is the ralph lauren of the 21st century. Truly one of the best designers in america, and he seems very accessible. He isn't one of those weird you never see or hear from them designers, he is a real person who does not need an shroud of mystery surrounding him to sell his designs, he does that...by having amazing designs!

His taste, talent, and show: Project Runway..... ALL OVER since his choice/insistence of crowning GRETCHEN the winner of last season's Project Runway. That show is over.

MJ, you are absolutely correct and that "other" sneering lady "what's-her-name" needs to join him in banishment.

Neither one of them could possibly have truly thought that Gretchen's schmutters were anything other than drek. Phoney pair indeed.

Oh yeah.... Nina! Forgot about her. Only Tim and Heidi are worth watching. Though I fault Heidi some too as I think it is HER show! She should have overruled them!
