Jeremy Clarkson’s new car show gets an official Amazon launch date

Back in May of 2015, the BBC booted one of its most popular (and controversial) public figures by firing Top Gear host Jeremy Clarkson after he reportedly struck one of the show’s producers during an altercation. Clarkson promptly jumped ship to streaming and retail giant Amazon, bringing his co-hosts James May and Richard Hammond with him and leaving Top Gear to putter unhappily along under the command of American actor Matt LeBlanc and single-season host Chris Evans.
