Top Gear America Is Now A Thing, And Its Hosts Have Been Revealed
Top Gear USA was always the ugly cousin to the main, then Clarkson-fronted version of the motoring show. Its ratings were never anywhere near as good as the original show, and it never went down as well with fans or critics. After its sixth series, it was as good as cancelled, but now, it’s back. Sort of.
BBC America this week announced it’s to launch Top Gear America, with none of the TG USA presenters - Adam Ferrara, Tanner Foust, and Rutledge Wood - in the new line-up. Instead, it’ll be hosted by William Fichtner of all people - the actor who’s turned up in everything from The Dark Knight to Independence Day: Resurgence.
Joining him will be long time Top Gear magazine writer and former Fifth Gear presenter Tom Ford, and Top Fuel drag racing champion Antron Brown.
The first, eight episode series will kick off on BBC America “later this year”. Will you be watching?
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.

But why?
Here’s hoping his campaign on top gear doesn’t end like this…
The Wookie is in America!
Yet nobody is fat
But To Me ford looks like x-men’s Logan
TopGear America: For a factual look at cars
We should protest, because I prefered the Top Gear USA than Top Gear after Jerermy Clarkson
Isn’t there a Chris Evans from America? Would’ve been perfect!
No, he is British, Matt is from USA
I don’t think Captain America would want to host a TV show
At least unlike TG UK they’ve added an actual villan, William Fichtner was the crooked cop in Prison Break and of course the main villan in Power Rangers SPD…
… Ha Doctor No Hair eat your heart out.
Watch them still find a way to make it all about Tanner Faust
interested to see it
I feel there is a certain expectation when a show has Top Gear in the name. IMO this was one of the reasons Top Gear USA flopped, they should just do themselves a favour and not call it Top Gear to give themsleves a better chance lol
