Matt LeBlanc hosting by himself? What?!

It's like the people in charge of making these decisions have no clue whatsoever what made Top Gear a globally liked show. NO FRIGGING CLUE WHATSOEVER.

I like LeBlanc, quite a bit in Episodes but also here in Top Gear this past season. I think his understated approach, which some have called bland, was a direct response to Evans. I think he has the charm, humor, and insight to be a good presenter.

But he NEEDS co-presenters, you MUST have deep automobile knowledge present, and above all CHEMISTRY or this thing will never be anything close to the Clarkson-May-Hammond era.

Of course, maybe the BBC has given up on the idea of trying to re-open the Global Top Gear Money Faucet, and they are resigned that it is going to devolve into a lackluster car show with dismal ratings drops from week to week.
