I wonder if this was part of the plan all along, or a last minute scramble when people reacted poorly to David Coulthard and Sabine Schmidt being linked as co hosts.

I think there are millions of car/motorsport fans that agree with you. Cant wait for their (Clarkson, Hammond and May) new show. At least we know they wont get car sick (I do like Chris evens though) but not as a car show host. I think that bullet is firmly lodged in the BBC's foot now.

I think you're right - hence why I'm so glad that Amazon picked up the trio. I just have no idea how I'm gonna watch it!

I can't say that I've ever seen a spontaneously funny American so I'm not optimistic

If they can use him as the kicking boy then it may be quite amusing...

And that's why he's got the role. Eye candy for the female viewers & for males that bat for the wrong side. He has the ability to punt a car around pretty well - but I think he'll struggle to talk & be entertaining whilst also driving.

Interesting. I thought he was funny on Friends. But Clarkson is a hard act to follow!

I would've hired Jay Leno or Mr Bean.

I doubt if they could afford him.

His own show 'Jay Leno's Garage' has just been renewed for another season on CNBC in the US and has just started being broadcast here on the 1st Feb on 'Discovery Turbo' whatever that is.

True. I didn't know he had his own show already. I also thought he'd make a good car show host. I guess someone else did too
