It’s bizarre but true. Top Gear has announced a new host for its upcoming Series 23, and it’s Matt LeBlanc. Yes, Joey Tribbiani from ’90s sitcom Friends!
“As a car nut and a massive fan of Top Gear, I’m honoured and excited to be a part of this iconic show’s new chapter. What a thrill!” said LeBlanc. He last appeared on Clarkson-era TG, and set an as-yet unbeaten lap time in the show’s popular Star in a Reasonably Priced Car segment.
He will join main presenter Chris Evans in the new series. “Matt’s a lifelong fellow petrolhead and I’m thrilled he’s joining Top Gear. Acting out our craziest car notions on screen is a dream job and I know we’ll both be debating some epic road trip ideas. We can’t wait to share what we’ve been up to on screen later this year,” shared Evans.
So boys and girls, what do you think of this? Good or bad, share your thoughts below. In any case, here’s a taster of Matt/Joey on Top Gear.
Looking to sell your car? Sell it with Carro.
It would never be the same…Stupid like proton marketing !!
This guy is a huge car but and the best celebrity driver. And he has the best pick up line ever:
How you doing?
Better for Top Gear to hire Najib. You see, Joey is a joker and a clown and Najib also is also now an International clown with clown faces.
So better to hire Najib for this post.
Its a mess even before it’s televised
Better to call all the UMNO clowns to host Top Gear. Especially the Kedah MB who likes to sleep. Then in the show, he can also fall asleep
mmmm…..
Thing is JC was a motor journo, still writes till now…
James may was a motor journo, and was fired from autocar (google it)
N so was richard hammond…
Dunno what to expect from this 3rd gen topgear, since chris Harris is no longer on board, then not really sure who would be d most well verse in car terminology…
rowan Atkinson is a car guy too, maybe a bit too expensive…
Oh well, all d best to them, tiff is old and still hosting 5th gear, mat Watson is funny and available…lol….
No one is interested.
Ask him what would he do if he is omnipotent.
Could be good. See how it goes. They definitely gotta create a different wow factor than Clarkson and company’s style of presentation and format. And hope fans give it a chance to grow on them too. Good luck to the new team.
How u doin’!
This is a compilation, view the fckin video.
And Matt LeBlanc has a show that has been doing well in the UK.
What does LeBlanc know about journalism?
Desperate times call for desperate measures
Cringeworthy being taken to a whole new level. Chris Harris and Sabine Schmitz alone would have been great, but these two clowns HAD to come along….
So no one told you TopGear was gonna be this way
Your job’s a joke, you’re broke, your love life’s D.O.A.
It’s like you’re always stuck in second gear
When it hasn’t been your day, your week, your month, or even your year, but
I’ll be there for you
(Do you even drift at all)
I’ll be there for you
(Jezza finds you a bore)
I’ll be there for you
(The trio gone for like f.r.i.e.n.d.s too)
Well, all they need now is the whole cast of Friends and we can call it Top Gear: The Friends Edition.
Chandler Bing would be the joker.
Ross would be the idiot who think he know everything about cars when he actually not.
Phoebe would be the real driver since she normally drive a taxi anyway… You know, taxi driver always the best driver.
Monica and Rachel could just be the err… just be them femme who are oblivious about cars.
There… And kick out that Irish nerd.
joey from friends?
he should be in TG US…not TG UK…it wont feel rite when u have US dude
it is so funny looking at how they hang the stig in the background. like drying process.
to be fair, please give the new hosts some time for them to blend..even james may when he was started on TG seems like doesn’t go along well with JC and hammond..
Lame !!!
Might as well put three stooges on top gear. At least can laugh.
Chris Evans can’t even talk to the camera while driving. Matt is a great driver but I’m not sure how will he fit it. Steve Sutcliffe would probably be a better choice.
