You know he's got to be awful if people are saying the American is the best host of the group.
ArchibaldFooster

Claytor
Hasn't he got sexual assault claims against him right now?
GoshNotMe
Allegedly showed "his willy" to someone in the 90s. Who knows, but really it's not uncommon for these types of allegations to be thrown out.
ElFreakoDiablo
Cerinna
Unfortunately, that's the wrong Chris Evans. :( Would've so watched Top Gear again with this one in it.
ElFreakoDiablo
Duh
NutterMyButter
RogueTampon
There's news about the Dacia Sandero!
ShaitanTheUnborn
I may start watching it again next season then. He's ok on R2 but a useless cnut on this.
graehall
I gotta say, that was the right move. LeBlanc has emerged as such a fucking solid anchor, he's funny, he's fucking fast. +Harris & Schmidt.
CarlosBandana
Literally a pile of poop would be a better presenter than that cunt.
indyliberal
Relief. He was hard to listen to and harder to view.
ZachPutland
Reddit: He has the face for radio and the voice for neither radio or TV
dinoturd
Rory Reid to replace him, please!
graehall
Rory is great, I hadn't seen him before. On Extra Gear being quizzed on bits of cars, he showed he's got proper car nerd chops. I love him.
dinoturd
I think his piece on the Focus RS swayed me towards him, his Tesla one was great too. Knowledgeable guy and he'll only get better!
graehall
I wasn't sure about him, then on Extra Gear there was a car made of famous bits pictured, and he picked every damn bit. He's smart!
Hitlersbulgingmilkybreasts
"The team are beyond brilliant" clearly he wasn't
PleaseMindTheGap
I can't stand his voice for some reason. Best news I've heard this Monday
buddhistsunset
Goodbye and good riddance!!
JaimeLannistersRightHand
I haven't seen the new series... Is he really that bad?
buddhistsunset
You know when you think you have gum on your shoe and its really shit? He's like that.
JaimeLannistersRightHand
Surprisingly accurate... And the rest of'm? Are they any good?
keshro
They're a bit dull. Even Matt. But it's due to the producers I think.
buddhistsunset
I have a soft spot for Matt LeBlanc, we named our cat Joey because he's as stupid as the day is long.
CGriffo124
Days are relatively short during winter in the northern hemisphere.
jayme17
Jensen button, he was brilliant!
comingbacktowhereivealwaysbeen
YES!!
iforgotwhatiwasdoinghere
You never want to be the guy that follows the guy(s). You want to be the guy who follows the guy who follows the guy.
ZachPutland
That's true, but going as far as copying the guy he was following was the nail in the coffin
TheVampireDante
So your saying Robert Downey Jr. Should be hosting Top Gear?
iforgotwhatiwasdoinghere
Pretty much.
iospace
It needs more Sabine hooning expensive cars.
GoshNotMe
I don't like Sabine so much, but I guess she's not too bad. TBH, if they just kept Matt, Sabine, Chris and Rory that'd not be a bad team.
GoshNotMe
Matt, Chris and Rory would be fine. (That's Chris Harris, btw). So dropping Chris (Evans), Sabine and Eddie.
rensu
people watch the new top gear :/ ?
graehall
It's so fucking fun.
GoshNotMe
I watched the series. Some people do, but certainly not as many as before. At its heart, it's not bad. Evans is the main criticism.
PerturbedBadger
I think they also need to do something new it's like the presenters are playing a part - Evans was trying too hard to be Clarkson
buzzylogic
He looks like adam savage with HIV
QuantumEntangler
Chris harris and matt will do a good job
graehall
Reid is doing a pretty bang up job, too. Watching him on Extra Gear, he showed he's a proper car nerd. Reid, Harris, LeBlanc, Schmidt, Good.
buddhistsunset
Does worst Michael Caine impression ever!

slipmagt
He gave it his best shout.
graehall
I THINK YOU SPELLED SHOT WRONG! LET ME YELL AT YOU HYPERACTIVELY ABOUT IT!
VulpesHilarianus
Fina-freakin'-ly. Now if they'd just give Chris Harris more time and let Matt LeBlanc work without a script.
H1GT
Chris Harris is just as bad as Chris Evans.
KingKongDownvoteDong
^^^This times 1000. If they had Sabine, Harris, LeBlanc and somehow Jensen Button all unscripted it would be great.
PerturbedBadger
Yes LeBlanc is like a plank of wood when scripted
graehall
They waited 3 damn episodes to introduce Harris!? He's so god damn good. LeBlanc is a fuckin' revelation too, rapidly overshadowing Evans.
H1GT
He is awful. "Will this car slide? Yes." - every Chris Harris car review, ever.
DrunkShakespeare
He's one of the few people who does introspective reviews anywhere near as well as the old 3. Plus, the dude can properly drive
graehall
On the plus side, you've watched every Chris Harris car review. He's just fab isn't he?
AlexImguram
I hope Rory Reid becomes the guy to take Evans's place. Likeable, relaxed and seems to do great interviews on Extra Gear.
graehall
He's extra good on Extra Gear. He's been good on the big show too. I like the perspective he brings.
thatoneguywhoyouthoughtwasryanrenaldssexclamation
Then we can finally rest easy.
ShaitanTheUnborn
I thought LeBlanc was better when scripted personally. But each to their own.
dirtisland
so like there are episodes where he his scripted and unscripted? i don't know. i have never watched teh show.
ShaitanTheUnborn
He seemed more wooden than normal in the studio when he had to ad-lib a bit than in the filmed stuff. (To me anyway)
dirtisland
ah i see. i just remember him posting a tweet or something about quitting the show if the red head dude doesn't quit. where's a good place
dirtisland
to start if i want to start watching the series?
AtricksyHobbitwithtaters
I'd like to see Le Blanc+Harris+Rory host and Sabine do the occasional test drive. And boot Eddie all together.
Polsnulspace
This is what I've been saying for the last few weeks

Yeah I thought Eddie would be good, but he's just a prick.
Polsnulspace
Agreed

graehall
Nah, he's just a bit of a prick. I can discern writer from person well enough to be confident in that view.
filben7
How is this guy rich and famous?
StevenAlanWilson
He setup up his own TV production company and produced some of the biggest TV shows in the 90s-00s.. Then sold it for a fuck ton of money..
Lowland
He has a lot of money and people know him
AlexImguram
He has been a TV/radio presenter since the early 1990s.
TimeFoDat
Speaking of the 1990's isn't he in some kind of sexual assault scandal from around that time now?
KingKongDownvoteDong
They should get the guys from Wheeler Dealers to host the show.
custal
And do what? Introduce the least expensive cars they could find? Thanks, but no thanks.
graehall
How is Ed China not one of the best motor vehicle mechanic educators on TV? He's just such a fucking talent.
KingKongDownvoteDong
Exactly, I love him. He knows his stuff and can actually drive.
graehall
He knows his stuff, but he also knows how to teach that shit in an accessible way. He is also incredibly thorough & talented as a mechanic
KingKongDownvoteDong
Agreed
graehall
I pirated a bunch of Wheeler Dealers just to watch him work. He's just damn good at it.
photog
You know who I want them to get? Rowan Atkinson "Mr. Bean". He's into cars and would fit perfectly.
MrWolfwood
I really can't stand him or his routine, that would kill any chance I would give the show.
UncleBuckkake
"Star in a reasonably priced car" turns into "Star in Mr Bean's Mini"?! I'm in!
madsloth23
Rowan Atkinson has an amazing car collection !!! He had Mclaren f1 but then sold it for 7mill
GeraldsNinjaStar
I love him, but the show needs fewer hosts.
Karthstrom
Atkinson would be himself and then one day the Stig reveals himself as Mr. Bean.
DrunkShakespeare
It takes more than celebrity, quick wit, and passion for cars to work well. Just ask Chris Evans.
tetrameth
Bring it on
LilyF
He's a genius comedy actor, but considering he's shy and retiring in real life, he'd make an awful host. Sorry.
LostLocust
Or Robert Llewellyn, also a host and car/tinkering lover.
Lkklltt21
That's a good shout mate, would love to see more of him
Kugell
Someone else has this idea! Finally...
PigeonFace
It should be called Top Adder if he becomes the host XD
AlexImguram
I like him and he's a massive petrolhead, but I don't think he'd be a fit for the show. Same goes for Guy Martin.
TRexKilgannon
Rowan, Hugh Laurie, and Stephen Fry.
mrfirebass
fry is free hes giving up QI
secretoaster
BBC can't afford that

Would probably be akin to career suicide
photog
Checked his IMDb. Seem to only be doing TV Movies/Series. I don't care about saving the show I just want to see more of his F1.
ElFreakoDiablo
Rowan Atkinsons career is bullet proof
VyvyanBestard
His career doesn't seem to have been blooming to much recently.
Denamic
His career is already a success. What he's done is immortalised.
syzygy333
What career? I haven't seen anything from him since he played a Spy in that one movie... that was at least 10 years ago.
BarfTittiesGalore
There's two of those (Johnny English) movies and do you not know Mr. Bean? Popular TV show, and movies I believe. He's done well.
syzygy333
But still, my argument that he hasn't done anything significant in years stands and thus I consider his career to be over.
syzygy333
Of course I know Mr. Bean, but that show has been over for decades? Wasn't aware that the second Johnny English movie was released in 2011.
