Who's Joey Tribiani?

[Mr. Burns]

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!

[Kershaw]

Cool, I guess. We'll see how the dynamic works.

[rturbo 930]

Okay, so how many hosts do we have now? 5?

[GAbOS]

I honestly think this could be a good fit. Matt seems like a good fit for Hammond's old role.

[agent]

Meh.

[dereliiict]

See, when Matt was a star in a reasonably priced car, he seemed to be on the brink of suicide. Very self deprecating.

It seemed as if he REALLY needed to get a good lap time.

Makes you wonder.

Kids today.

[AndrewBird]

I fucking hate "Friends".

That said, I think he will be a good host, however I'm not the least bit excited about "new" Top Gear. Top Gear died with the departure of Hammond, May and Clarkson.

I am eagerly waiting on their new show though.

[marshallnoise]

I am uninterested. Want to see what Amazon Prime and the boys bring.

Its just Chris Evans and Matt Leblanc right now, and well the Stig. Chris Harris and Sabine Schmitz were just rumors that got out of hand. It doesn't matter if Jesus Christ himself hosts the show, BBC's TopGear will always be in the shadow of Clarkson's, May's, and Hammond's new show. At least Evans and Leblanc will know how the American Top Gear boys feel. If I want to watch car reviews or watch them go side ways, thats what youtube is for, but I watched Top Gear for Jeremy, James, and Richard.

I can dig it. Nothing is guaranteed, but I think he has the potential to do pretty well.

[kickinindian]

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.

Im with you, this has good potential. Who knows, we might have TWO good car shows now.

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