Exactly. Top Gear works because of the hosts and I don't think there are any 3 guys in America(Leno included) that could duplicate the perfection of Clarkson, Hammond and May.Originally Posted by mattCR
The problem with doing Top Gear (as much as I love it) is that Jay is NOT Jeremy Clarkson. More then that, the other issue is that part of what makes Top Gear great are that they will issue bad reviews, and generally, with GE being a big provider of parts to all major car manufacturers, there isn't a lot of interest in openly bagging someone's product in primetime as a comedy format. Real disasters? Sure. Take it to Dateline or 60 Minutes but you can't make fun of the product like they do on Top Gear.
