Gordon Ramsay is a hopeless driver but more importantly isn't even vaguely funny . He is also not rating much anymore as Most people are over his churlish attitude . Oh and he's going broke too .
The other 2 are resigning now too so they all appear an another station soon enough ...

after reading bbc's statement and watching that foul-mouthed belligerent video of clarkson at a charity event no less, it should come as no surprise that he was let go. not having his contract renewed is not the same as being fired either.
now bbc is a very political and politically correct outfit, not to mention government run, but they (hypocritically) put up with clarkson's antics because the ratings were so huge and the money inflow was huge. top gear has probably made more people know about the 'beeb' since monty python.

In fact, I can't help but wonder how many, if any, BBC facilities might end up being vandalized over this matter.
there's no war, just a short altercation where clarkson lost it.

A random comment thread from a year ago where some people talk about Jay Leno?
Don't get me wrong...I really like Jay and his passion for cars, but he's just not quite the right person for Top Gear. He doesn't have that irreverence that made JC so beloved.

In fact he definitely should not be. Leno is his own brand.

He is indeed. I just think that Top Gear shouldn't be restyled. It needs that same kind of wit that Clarkson had.
Do I want to see Jay Leno on TV talking about cars? Hell yeah. I think he's worthy of his own show in the US. I would watch it.
Anyways, now that a little time has passed and the initial shock is gone, I do think BBC made the proper decision. If JC had attacked somebody else down the road, BBC would be paying out big $$ for not firing him now. Still want to see Clarkson, Hammond, and Captain Slow on a new show on Netflix though.
