New TG Host thoughts?

[UlrichFennec]

neither was Clarkson.

Fun fact, before Clarkson was a car show presenter, he was a video game reviewer.

And leave all that money on the table? LOL - You're not thinking like an exclusive producer that is about to be shit canned.

That's true :drink:

Of course the new show will flop. The show wasn't about cars, it wasn't about the test track, or the interviews (I always fast forwarded)

Who actually watched watched those?

I thought I read something about Netflix picking it up?

I keep seeing tweets by those three alluding to some type of collaboration but nothing has been confirmed. So hopefully something is actually in the works.

It's about 3 bumbling idiots having fun. The background is cars.

+1. This is why I hope they get another show somewhere else. but I will say the production of the past TG was amazing. Ill watch the new TG just cause its another car show...slim pickins out there for that.

Meh, I think they should have let it die.

Replacing stars hasn't gone well in the past. (Unless you're a cast member of "Three's Company")

Of course the new show will flop. The show wasn't about cars, it wasn't about the test track, or the interviews (I always fast forwarded) - it was about those three knuckle heads!

I can't tell you how many friends I have that don't like cars - but LOVE topgear. It's about 3 bumbling idiots having fun. The background is cars.

Watch any good documentary(TV or FILM) - and it will never be about what you think it is. It's about people, not things.

/end rant?

Iain Kelly needs the job or better yet, his own show.

Actually, I think this would have been best-- time for a different series! James May does plenty of other cool shows anyway, and Hammond... well, he's short.

Exactly. They were just trying to get more money out of the thing before it imploded.

Chris Harris, Chris Evans and Rowan Atkinson would be awesome. Matt Farah? Really?

[ThatOneEuroE30]

They chose the man who has pianos play for his cars in his garage to host top gear... Nice

I'd rather watch TG without clarkson. He's a racist, sexist slob that doesn't deserve what he has. No matter who they pick, it can never be as bad as TG:America, so that's fine with me.
