BBC tells Top Gear’s Jeremy Clarkson to hit the road
Top Gear host Jeremy Clarkson has been canned by the BBC and will not be returning to the show. The move comes after Clarkson allegedly had a “physical altercation” with the show’s producer, Oisin Tymon, earlier this month, following his “prolonged” and “extreme” verbal abuse of the producer. Allegedly, the fight was over the lack of hot food available after a day shooting the show and Tymon ended up having to go to the hospital. Clarkson’s job has been in limbo ever since pending a BBC investigation, though a million supporters signed a web-based petition in favor of keeping him on the show.
