[malc]

Friends star Matt LeBlanc to join Chris Evans as new presenter as
BBC targets female viewers and the US market



And Then..............

Social media erupts with hilarious Joey Tribbiani and
Friends-based memes after Matt LeBlanc is named Top Gear's new host

Another angle....from the BBC. Matt LeBlanc to be Top Gear co-presenter


of course.....they´re prejudiced.

I really didn't think they could have interested me in the show without clarkson but that would do it . I watched that show when it was on . I was pretty impressed with what he could do with the car. ( getting the fastest lap when the board was full full. ) The other celebrity spot I liked was when Tom Cruise and Cameron Diaz were on . He did real well also and I think Cameron beat him by a little . Anyway great move .

I checked my facts , Matt 1.42
Tom 1.44
Cameron 1.45.2 all dry tracks . The cool things on those shows , Matt LeBlanc just sits casually waiting for his time , Tom Cruise is super into it and he is sitting on the edge on his seat like everyone else does . Both ways are cool but it is interesting .

good choice.
good straight man.
I watched friends as a fan, I was 20 years old when that was on tv...as if to emulate my life, and friends. It was fun.

I´m asking why they need an American connection on the show, don´t you guys have Top Gear USA ?

[BangShift McT]

Kind of. If you follow the presenters' social media pages, they've filmed new episodes, but they aren't sure when they will be shown. Ferrara, especially, seems to question History Channel's commitment.

Update, Eddie Jordan is slated to join the line up.

Ex-F1 boss Eddie Jordan 'is set to be named as a Top Gear host'

[Tom P]

Good for Matt, hope he dos well on there.

[Scott Liggett]

Just because he is an actor, doesn't mean he doesn't have car knowledge and driving talent. Shall I name names? Paul Newman, Steve McQueen, James Garner, etc, etc.

[malc]

This is the new "multi talented" line up for the "new" Top Gear.

New Top Gear hosts revealed and the internet is quick to notice there's 'a black guy,
a woman and a foreigner' (and, of course, a ginger)



Where 3 got the job done previously we now need 7......and the British public pays their wages.

[Dan Barlow]

Probably got everybody for less than Clarkson .

[fast Ed]

I'll try watching it, for Chris Harris and Sabine Schmitz anyway ... Chris is a great presenter and pretty talented behind the wheel



cheers
