Well this is going well.
After a disappointing debut, the reboot of Top Gear BBC may be poised to hit another speed bump. According to sources at The Sun, which has been all over the Top Gear drama for the past year, Matt LeBlanc has threatened to quit the show unless co-host Chris Evans is relieved of his duties. You can read more about that report here.
Meanwhile, in the United States, where the show hosts actually seem to get along, Top Gear USA has been canceled by the History Channel. Co-host (and friend of OnAllCylinders) Rutledge Wood announced the show’s cancellation on his Facebook page. Top Gear USA was in the midst of its sixth season, but the last episode will air tomorrow night.
Wood thanks co-hosts Tanner Foust and Adam Ferrara in his Facebook post and seemed to leave open the possibility that the show could move to another network. You can check out Wood’s Facebook post and Motor Authority’s take on the situation here.
Fire them all! Bring back the original cast. Jeremy, Richard, and James.
right the British one was much better!
Their new show on Amazon will have a higher budget and way less restrictions on content. So you’ll get to see Jezza, Captain Slow and the Hamster in even crazier cars, going to more exotic places and doing more insane challenges.
It will be better than the BBC could have ever done with them. The show would have got more restricted with them until Jeremy eventually quit anyway.
It’s also super smart for Amazon to get their streaming channel on it’s legs for once. Because they will have a built in fan base of millions waiting to see them get back up to their antics.
Put RoadKill on TV
Love top gear USA, what a shame to cancel it!!
They all stink.only one of them can drive a car. Please they are clueless..
It’s about time. Evans is a Shmuck!! Who wears their jeans tucked into their boots?? And why doesn’t He drive any of the Cars like Clarkson and the other to did? Answer? Cuz He can’t. He’s a Bobbleheaded Red head with no talent. Other then pissing off the audience.. Good Job BBC you ruined a good thing. By hiring the wrong thing. Especially Ego Manic Evans. Please Please stop the slow kill and call it Quits!! The only one I feel bad about is the Stig… Please get rid of that numb nuts Chris Evans!!
“Who wears their pants tucked into their boots?” Any smart person that doesn’t want their pant leg caught in their bike chain.
Keep 2nd Gear.. These guys no cars. And know what we like. All Evans care about is “Chris” Fuckin Nob.. no one like him deserves a bunch of Ferrari’s like that. Probably sucked off a rich Duke or Early for them..
Watched about 15 mins of the first episode and had to turn it off Evans has ruined a good show (no talent ) I know the BBC will not bring back the original cast cause they will not eat humble pie and admit they was wrong but they should have never tried to resurrect the show
