This is probably true, and I can appreciate driving skill and I even enjoy talking about the techniques for performance driving.

What makes Clarkson a better host than Tanner and in my opinion a guy I would rather have a beer with is Clarkson's ability to talk about CARS.

Not Himself.

He does have NASCAR in his name


Tanner Foust can out drive Clarkson, May or Hammond with his eyes closed.

That is where Top Gear US could have done something correct if they got Adam Carolla.  There was a rumor that he was going to host the US version for a season.   Too bad they got the wrong mix and fucked it up by copying every BBC challenge verbatim.

New media. Forget about the old guard. Clarkson should use this opportunity to move on up.



Clarkson will never get a bigger vehicle than the BBC

I hate to side with the BBC on anything, but aren't they the biggest network... In The World?!?


FIFY..

The BBC has suspended Top Gear host Jeremy Clarkson "following a fracas" with a producer.
The Corporation said the show, also presented by Richard Hammond and James May, will not be broadcast on BBC Two this Sunday. The other two remaining episodes of the series have also been pulled from the schedules.

It wasn't a rumor. NBC produced a pilot episode with Carolla, Foust and some other guy.
From what I heard it was pretty good, but NBC decided not to pick it up.

Top Gear host Jeremy Clarkson has been suspended by the BBC "following a fracas" with a producer.
The corporation said the presenter had been suspended "pending an investigation".
"No one else has been suspended. Top Gear will not be broadcast this Sunday," it said.
"The BBC will be making no further comment at this time."
More details to follow.

If the producer said something as innocuous as "You were right this week about the Alfa Romeo 4C being preferable to the new MX-5 despite the cost", I still would have supported Clarkson if he punched him and said "Stop kissing my ass".

Why would the BBC pull episodes already filmed? It doesn't make sense, because Clarkson would already have been paid for filming them, it would only affect the BBC's bottom line, not Clarkson's. It'd be like cutting a lower receiver in half to piss off the manufacturer.

I would be willing to bet that Clarkson's contract says he has creative control over what hits the airwaves and he pulled the episodes, not the BBC.

No. Clarkson and the American TV system would not go well together. You guys seem to have a really fucked-up production system, he would either explode violently or wither and die under it.

No.  He should be unsuspended because he's the guy who brings in enough money to pay not only himself, May, and Hammond, but the BBC executives their salaries.  Nobody could name a Top Gear producer without looking it up - probably not even BBC's HR department.

Indeed.

If you want a show where people sit around droning on about the MPG, exact shade of beige on the trim and turning circle size of the new Ford Focus, then you watch Fifth Gear.
If you want a show where a high performance sports car races a plane from Italy to central London or where some guys buy up used cars and try to make them sail across the English channel,  then you watch Top Gear.
