• There’s a new Top Gear America, & once again I’m not one of the hosts 😐 If you’re keeping track (I know, no one is except me), that’s 3 times I’ve been considered by The-Powers-That-Be at the BBC to participate in one of their Top Gear franchises, & 3 times I haven’t gotten the gig. As before, it went pretty well & I was told it was a close call, but in the end, Jethro Bovington got the nod. Having been a fan since his days hosting Drivers Republic (back when I was hosting OnCars), & having seen his “chemistry test” a few weeks back before I had my own turn, I have to admit he did really well & is deserving of the job. But then again, so was my pal @micahmuzio ... And so was I. Actually, they tested some really well-qualified people, & the folks involved (from the BBC & MotorTrend) could not have been nicer or more supportive. Also awesome were Dax Shepard & Rob Corddry, the other two hosts, which bodes well for the show’s success. So despite the fact I didn’t get the job, I’m rooting for this new version to do well, & I’m already a fan. And no, that’s not the official logo 😜
