Ever since Top Gear fired the previous hosts and brought Chris Evans in to replace them, we've all been waiting to find out who else would be joining him on the cast. And now we have our next piece of the puzzle: it's Joey from Friends! Today, Matt LeBlanc has been announced as a new co-host of the rebooted BBC car show.

Odd choice. Unless Chris Harris definitely comes on board, this show may tank.

He was at their weekly production meeting actually, and there's rumors swirling around that there could be five hosts for the new Top Gear (including Stig). So Chris, Matt, Harris, Sabine, and Stig I think is what's speculated. It's already known Sabine has been filming with the crew (almost didn't make the Rolex 24 @ Daytona) but she hasn't been confirmed as a host. Speculation for the other two are Chris Harris and Sabine.

That would be epic!

And I could say, beansabine...

Yeah saw the announcement, LeBlanc ain't cutting it

Five hosts? How 'bout Joey, Chandler, Rachel, Ross, Monica, and Phoebe? Oh, dang it, wait... that's six. That'll never work. Have to kill one of 'em off.

Mr Twisty · 02-05-2016, 06:07 PM

Matt LeBlanc does pretty well behind the wheel. I wouldn't discount him too quickly.

TheReaper · 02-05-2016, 08:37 PM

I would prefer Mr. Bean because he can drive and is a car enthusiast but lets give
Joey a chance and see how it goes.

He will forever be typecast as Joey for me. I won't be a viewer.

Put nitrous in a Jag and launch it off an aircraft carrier. Or one of them needs to write a book lol

I will definitely watch to see if they have some chemistry and can make it work. But really if Chris Harris is a host of the show then of course I will always watch.

Joey and wood have the same characteristics

Why can I hear Phoebe singing smelly cat with the background of a screaming F-1 car?

He's a car guy and a fast driver but his personality comes across as a block of wood or a brick when ever he was interviewed .
