This is why the American PBS is so boring, preachy and narrow-minded. In the UK, that's the only choice they have.

This isn’t about his words. This is about his physically attacking another crewmember.

If you punch a co-worker, expect to get fired.

Brother...

He punched a producer. He went to the network and told them he did, and has never denied it.

This isn’t some left-wing conspiracy to kill off this show. This is a grown man with no self-control assaulting a staff person and having celebrity-worshiping idiots rally around him because they really like seeing this guy drive around in cars.

Clarkson IS Top Gear. And one of the most entertaining and irreverent people on the planet.

He is an arrogant, narcissistic pr@ck.

And the only reason I watch Top Gear

I’m sure by now he’s gotten several offers from cable networks that actually want to make money.

“All’s well that ends well.”

Great entertainment, but it was probably time to move on. Clarkson is in his 50s. Some of those trips looked to be exhausting. This way, he goes out with a bang. It’s classic Clarkson, unapologetic and putting the spotlight on him.

He needled Americans, but he needles everyone.

Thanks Jezer. Thanks Hamster. Thanks Captain Slow. It was like watching my high school friends.

They’ve implied that Richard and James will leave the show too...I’d imagine they would, the three of them will make lots of money with a new show...has anybody heard if The Stig is leaving too?

I don’t think the US can duplicate British TV humor, not sure why, maybe it’s the PC. But the American version of Top Gear was boring, and not funny at all.

Red Dwarf was another example of a British show that was just plain funny but totally non PC. But on the other hand The Office, the original British version, was toned down for US and I do think that was a good thing.
