Top Gear has a new top dog! Radio & TV Personality Chris Evans has been announced as the new host.
The BBC announced today that TV and radio personality Chris Evans will replace former host Jeremy Clarkson as the lead presenter of an all-new Top Gear line-up. Clarkson lost his position in March, after getting physical with a producer while on location.
Evans signed a three-year deal with the BBC Two show, which also means good-bye to Clarkson co-hosts Richard Hammond and James May.
Top Gear is watched by some 350 million viewers worldwide and is one of the BBC’s biggest shows. Car enthusiast Evans – a household name in Britain – has big shoes to fill, but no one is expecting anything less than continued big ratings and profits.
After BBC broke the news, Chris Evans tweeted: “First tweet as new Top Gear host. I would like to say Jeremy, Richard & James are the greatest. And NO I’m not leaving the R2 Breakfast Show.”
Production on the new season of Top Gear will begin in a few weeks, with dates on premieres to be announced some time after that.
