turboT Posted 9February, 2016 Author Report Share Posted 9February, 2016 he made his dough as a talk show host. They have to cut off guests to keep it tight. I think it strikes the right pacing for the most part. Car shows made for anoraks like us always fail.the double denim is for continuity. It means he can shoot all different segments at different times and not worry about stitching it together. Clarkson makes a few sly references to this issue during TG episodes. Lenos solution is low budget, practical and gives him a 'brand' like flowery shirts or cowboy boots.was on again last night - Harley's, pin striping low riders and some VW with caterpillar tracks. Appalling TV. So incredibly boring to listen to him waffle on in his double denim. No structure to the show - just random shit. Jeremy at least seems interested in his guests. Leno just wants to 'out fact them.' Proves you need a team of presenters aswell - he just runs out of things to say and do and spends lots of time just looking awkward.Low budget - yep Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JV911 Posted 11February, 2016 Report Share Posted 11February, 2016 Even more hosts added...how many do they need?Eddie Jordan and Sabine Schmitz will join Chris Evans, Matt LeBlanc, The Stig, YouTube star Chris Harris and motoring journalist Rory Reid when the famous vehicle road-testing television show returns to the screen in May.http://www.news.com.au/entertainment/eddie-jordan-and-sabine-scmitz-join-top-gear/news-story/d87abcca2b95c2a55d0baf09b8413692 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike737 Posted 11February, 2016 Report Share Posted 11February, 2016 Sounds like they are trying to move the identity of the show from being tied to the hostsI guess that's a strategy. Either that or they're trying to hide who the real presenters are and have lots of guest presenters. Chris Evans has already leaked too much info according to the bbc.

MFX Posted 30May, 2016 Report Share Posted 30May, 2016 Jay Leno's garage vids are the best , IMO. All meat, no potatoes. I find Jay's knowledge amazing, and he was great on the tonight show, but he is pretty dull hosting his own show. I love the cars, but it is sometimes hard to watch.

Pauly Posted 30May, 2016 Report Share Posted 30May, 2016 IMO if you get the current presenters, put them in a room and let them talk about cars with out putting on an act. It would have been better.
