After a comparatively brief stint with BBC Top Gear Matt Le Blanc, better known as Joey from the television series Friends is leaving Top Gear.

Clearly there can and never will be a replacement for Jeremy Clarkson, or James May, or Richard Hammond.  The trio who established the Top Gear brand as a household name are in the pre-release stages of the third season of their new show The Grand Tour.

Quite how the BBC thought an American comedy actor would work echoes their stupidity – just like their decision to axe Clarkson from their highest earning production.

We are pleased because Le Blanc was a rubbish presenter anyway.
