Default Top Gear Jeremy Clarkson to be fired today!

Wasn't a huge fan of Jeremy Clarkson, but his character did fit in as host of Top Gear. The question is who will replace him? I hope it's someone who has a appreciation for American Muscle.

Maybe a former race car driver from any series! But then the Stig will be out of a job! Let's see what happens.

The show will never be the same without him....I may not have liked him as a person but he made it very entertaining to watch TG.

He is and was a huge part of the show and it's success. He will be missed.

Top Gear was not just my favourite car show, but my favourite TV show.

It appears now that May, Hammond and Wilman (producer) will not be renewing their contracts as well. My hope is that a U.S. based network will pick them up. I am sure that with the following of Top Gear, they will re-surface somewhere.

I don't see the 3 of them working together again in any on screen capacity doing another car show. Not sure how they can pull it off. Even if they were picked up by another studio, the antics that these 3 pulled off on Top Gear might not be able to be pulled off in the same format since "Top Gear" belongs to the BBC.

Love Top Gear UK from the beginning, the antics, the epic road trips, the news, and the celebrity/F1 Driver In a Reasonable Priced Car. Wasn't into the show as a car show, since most of the time it wasn't. I mean anyone can spit out technical details of any car that is made. Just look at all the other cars show out there. They just made a show of it.

All part of the master plan to be free of the shackles of the BBC and put most of the cash into their hands instead of the Crown.Look for a show in the near future featuring Clarkson,Hammond and May not called "Top Gear" but looking almost exactly like it...

Agreed. The 3 of them could make a show called Bottom Gear, and millions of people would watch it, so as long as it had the three of them in it.

Rumour has it Netflix was poking around for the Clarkson/Hammond/May...that'd be interesting and completely uncensored.

The only way I'd watch Top Gear again would be if Clarkson's replacement was some current supermodel, (what else would there be a reason to tune in for)?

Kate Upton comes to mind!

If she could speak, I would like to see the Stigs wife host a few!
