Matt Leblanc to co-host Top Gear with Chris Evans

[Mushroom Stew]

Here's hoping Matthew Perry and David Schwimmer make a guest appearance

Why not just can Chris Evans and hire Matthew Perry and David Schwimmer as co-hosts

I kinda want Adam Carolla involved, but at least LeBlanc is a motorsports guy too.

who knew finding porsche keys in central perk would lead to a hosting position for top gear 20 year later. lol

this should be cool though, I like him. because of friends and just in general. tribbiani has my support.

I guess this also means they didnt consider my application for the vacant position #truestory

smh you should've started a petition. we could've voted you in as the "average joe" that most viewers can relate to.

I think top gear is done the show wont work without clarkson,hammond,may

Thats why the Us and australian versions suck

[Stanley Rockafella]

Kids today.

freddy aint even a kid. check his join date!

[CarsonE30]

It'll be a a big change for him. In his last big show it's like he was always stuck in 2nd gear.



I'll see myself out.

lovable womanizing simpleton, actor, food enthusiast, character that worked on the cast of "Friends" from 1994-2004 played by Matt Leblanc.

don't act like you don't know...DON'T!

I know. I just wanted to get a rise out of you.

:p

You know.. I'm glad. Top Gear of course won't be what it was a couple years ago (by the way WHAT is going on with hammond clarkson and may. Are they coming out with a new show or what???) but it's going to continue on with something. A completely different show.

The Clarkson one was just that: penned by clarkson as a series reformat in like 2001. So this new era will be similar. A different show using the same name. Honestly I'm glad they did something crazy and got freakin Matt Leblanc to be in the show. He was a guest with Clarkson one time so it's only fitting

Now for the coup de grace.. Brian Johnson!!!

The title screen has been leaked

I've chatted with Brian Johnson a few times, and only a very small number of people would have any idea what he was saying.

That aside, what's with the collective bashing of a show that doesn't exist yet? Don't forget, the only reason this is happening is because Clarkson said multiple super incorrect things and punched a producer. I'm pretty sure all the people who worked there and weren't a host can throw together a pretty good show. As long as the hosts can make it through driving segments without puking.

Kinda bummed about Chris Harris

[SkiFree]

I too am hoping for two good car shows

.... Leblanc actually sounds like a decent choice as cohost ... he's my favorite of the current cast+options (and Mr.Evans) for topgearuk.

[4tDX]

UK top gear needs to stay UK, throw an american in it, just ruined the whole fucking thing. you could not do any of those patriotic British things like clarkson used to do with the E-type jag for example.

I'm with you!

My picks would be stick with Chris Evans (sure why not), then throw in Graham Norton and Ricky Gervais. I don't think they know shit about cars, but the dynamic would be good enough to contend with James, Richard, and Jeremy.

I don't think Chris Harris would work on Top Gear. They should bring back The Car Show with Adam Carolla and replace that basketball player with Chris Harris. That would be some win.

[Pantless Spency]

i think it will make for good television.

it will never be the same quite obviously. i am happy they got chris onboard though.
