Ever since The Telegraph ‘confirmed’ Chris Harris, Sabine Schmitz and David Coulthard as Chris Evans’ co-presenters on Top Gear, we’ve taken it as read that Monkey will be on the revamped programme to give it a dash of much-needed credibility. It’s something that’s yet to be officially confirmed by the BBC, even if Harris’ recent announcement about closing down his Patreon account was a pretty clear hint.
This Tweet from Chris Evans however - coming just a few hours after Matt LeBlanc was announced as his co-presenter - is pretty much confirmation. See the bloke a couple of chairs down from Chris Evans? Yep, it’s a certain Mr Harris, at the table of what’s dubbed the ‘weekly TG production meeting’.

Oh, and here he is again, lurking in the background. So there we have it, ‘new’ Top Gear will almost certainly have a helping of Harris, and will be all the better for it.

Growing up on a diet of World Rally Championship highlights and lengthy Gran Turismo 2 sessions, a life in cars was as good as inevitable for Matt.

The TG weekly production meeting: an awful Hour of Evans whining about the time he went for a ride with Sabine in an R8 V10 Plus.
I’m thinking:
Leblanc = Clarkson
Harris = May(?)
Evans = Hammond
Schmitz = Clarkson again?
Are they just hiring every car “celebrity” just to try and get us to watch the show ?
Harris is grat and top gear host is well desurved place 4 him
As much as I love Chris Harris, he doesn’t strike me as a Top Gear type. Also I’m pretty sure he’s been the Stig on a couple of occasions.

Chris Harris - The Stig
While I doubt they’ll ever be able to match Clarkson, May, & Hammond, I am still very interested to see the new hosts…except Chris Evens.
