Jeremy Clarkson to Be Fired Tomorrow
Jeremy Clarkson will reportedly be fired from Top Gear tomorrow.
After an internal investigation the BBC has concluded its investigation saying that Clarkson did attack a producer on the program and it is believed that the outburst came after Clarkson was told he could not have steak and chips after a day’s filming because the hotel was no longer serving hot food.
The eccentric host for the hit BBC show Top Gear allegedly spent 20 minutes verbally abusing producer Oisin Tymon before spending 30 seconds physically assaulting him, according to a report from Telegraph.

Despite Clarkson’s firing, BBC plans on continuing Top Gear on BBC2 and is reportedly eyeing Radio 2 star Chris Evans to replace Clarkson. It is unclear whether co-presentors James May and Richard Hammond will stay behind on Top Gear or join Clarkson on a new venture.
Rumor has it that Clarkson could be heading to Netflix.

Clarkson was a complete tool who determined the outcome of his car "reviews" before the vehicles even arrived. He is a big mouthed know nothing, who's role on tv was nothing more than a foul mouthed old codger egotistical clown. Good riddance!
Synopsis of meeting re: Top Gear Jackassery. The show's tired. The hosts are tired. The viewers are tired. BBC would get too much flack for canceling, and any of the hosts would take a career hit for quitting . . . so let's just use this kerfuffle to call it a day.
