Default New Top Gear host announced

this one was a little bit of a surprise to me...

Ever since Top Gear fired the previous hosts and brought Chris Evans in to replace them, we've all been waiting to find out who else would be joining him on the cast. And now we have our next piece of the puzzle: it's Joey from Friends! Today, Matt LeBlanc has been announced as a new co-host of the rebooted BBC car show.

Your news is old: http://www.bbc.com/news/entertainment-arts-35548081







Looks like they're going back to the old format but with comedy. They have no idea what made the show so great.

Top Gear was the number one motoring show in the world not because of the cars, but because of the people. The interactions, the schoolboy-esque picking, the offensive material; these are the reasons people loved the show. The cars were second at all times. At least they (finally) realize they can't manufacture that interaction, but seriously this is just too damn many cooks. And frankly to much affirmative action. Was it really necessary to get one of every possible interest group?

They'll probably start with 6, see who works and who doesn't and eliminate a few. Still won't watch it.

That would make for an awkward season.

Do we get to vote them off of the island? The one that remains will make it to next season?



It's just another Fifth Gear now. Not something to hate but probably no magic. I will still check it out and I'm hoping for the best but I just renewed Amazon Prime and it wasn't all about free shipping.
