It is. Doing Top Gear without Jezza would be a big mistake and they know it. Hope he does another show elsewhere honestly.

That Jezza article is back when the original Top Gear was around.

I think it will be back, its too big of a draw and too profitable for the BBC for them to just leave it after one silly incident.

Right now he's under investigation. Strange that he was the one that reported the incident instead of the producer he punched.

He's been on two and a half strikes for the longest since the eenie, meenie and license plate incidents. Himself reporting it probably helps him out more.

K his contract was up for negotiation and BBC won't renew it. He's not technically fired but he's not coming back. James May already changed his twitter profile to "former" TV host. Hamster hasn't said anything other than it's a shame. Curious if another network will take all 3 of them or they will just retire.

Article on new car show hosted by ex-Top Gear hosts.

Fans of the BBC television series "Top Gear" were devastated when the car show's presenter Jeremy Clarkson was fired in March after a physical altercation with one of the show's producers that sent the producer to the emergency room.

Clarkson's two co-stars, Richard Hammond and James May, quit in solidarity after Clarkson was canned. While the BBC is planning on a new "Top Gear" series without them, the future of the trio has been up in the air.

Wonder no longer: Amazon, which has been emerging as a player in the original television series realm with shows like "Transparent," has picked up Clarkson and co. for a new, as-yet-untitled car show. Joining them will be long-time "Top Gear" producer Andy Wilman, who also quit after Clarkson's firing.

Expect great things. With the trio of Clarkson, Hammond and May, and Wilman producing, "Top Gear" entered the Guinness Book of World Records as the most widely watched factual television show in the world.

The new car show from Clarkson, Hammond and May will premiere on Amazon Prime in 2016.

Apparently they registed the name 'Gear Knobs'
