Like the show's other participants, McCarroll was struggling to get recognition as a fashion designer before the show began airing on December 1, 2004, on the Bravo cable television network. When McCarroll won the show's first season, becoming the only winner so far to never win a challenge, he was awarded $100,000, a mentorship from Banana Republic, and a spot in the prestigious 2005 New York Fashion Week event. However, Jay turned down the money and the mentorship, citing a contractual clause stipulating that the Project Runway production company would own a 10% stake of all his professional ventures in perpetuity. The company has since dropped this clause.
In April 2008 McCarroll launched his blog and designer fashion boutique, The Colony by Jay McCarroll.
After leaving New York, McCarroll now teaches at Philadelphia University and has a fashion line on QVC.
McCarroll is a designer for Field of View winter guard in West Chester, Pennsylvania.
McCarroll has appeared numerous times on the PBS TV show Quilting Arts.
In an episode aired on 5 April 2010, McCarroll won the seventh season of Celebrity Fit Club on VH1, having lost 40 pounds over the course of his time on the program.
In February 2020 McCarroll was employed in the wardrobe department of the television series Mare of Easttown, coordinating clothing for background extras.
