Would absolutely love to see Jeremy Clarkson on JRE. Would be a top 3 podcast without a doubt.

Top gear in its prime was one of the greatest shows ever

Worked in a pub in England, Top gear on Sundays... Huge hit.

Clarkson on the JRE will literally be one of the greatest podcast episodes ever. Make it happen Joe!

Top Gear with Jeremy, Hammond, and James was literally the best show on earth. The season specials they did towards the later seasons were pure magic.

Jeremy Clarkson on JRE would easily be one of the greatest shows without a doubt. The crazy stories and details that could be told would be insane

I grew up watching Top Gear and still watch The Grand Tour. The way those dudes gave it their all was amazing. Theyre the best presenters and every now and again their tomfoolery did result in a good bit of real-world knowledge.

Jeremey and James driving different trucks up a mountain to find Richard is one of my favorite episodes.

Can we get Jeremy Clarkson on the pod? I'd love to hear some more stories from his life on the farm

I LOVE how offended Joe is that the Top Gear lads made fun of Tesla. Bro, they've made fun of every car company ever. And probably every human race too.

The episode when they strapped a Reliant Robin to some rockets, will always be peak Top Gear for me

Those 3 are the kings of content on TV. Such a good trio, they’d do anything just for their audience.

I'd love to see Richard Hammond on JRE, but after 2 minutes the podcast studio would be flipped upside down and on fire.

As a Brit that grew up watching Top Gear, it’s extremely entertaining seeing how the rest of the world perceive British satire and humour. It’s an open secret that TG was a sketch show presented as a documentary. Everything was usually a joke but it was usually only the UK laughing😂

2002 to 2016 Top Gear was lightning in a bottle. One of my favorite shows, I don't know what else comes close. The chemistry between these three presenters, just f*ck*ng adore it

Joe watching Top Gear clips gives me the same feeling I’d get as a kid when I’d invite multiple friend groups to my birthday party

Please invite jeremy clarkson. That episode would be crazy 😂

For me personally Top Gear is the greatest TV show ever by a country mile. The humour, the chemistry between the three, the challenges and specials, the guests and short documentaries. They went to the freaking North Pole in a Toyota! Didn't expect Joe would bring up the Tesla fiasco, out of all the things Top Gear has done. Most of the show is entertainment and pure satire. They made fun of literally every car brand in the world. Clarkson's criticisms on Rover was a major cause in it's decline. They've been mocking Toyota for the Prius, campervans and caravans, the Dacia Sandero and so on for years and years. The Toyota Prius is one of the best selling cars of all time. There are huge amounts of caravans and campervans in the UK alone, the Sandero huge amounts of exposure thanks to mainly James May. Pity to see a (American) comedian butthurt about the Tesla case. Must have been filled in by his best bud Elon. Would love to see Clarkson on JRE, that episode would get a huge number of views and possibly Jeremy's final act on the internet if you give him three hours to talk about anything he likes🤣. Don't think Hammond would do it, no way May would do anything this big.

This guy is doing an excellent job of distorting what happen and jo is taking Avery word of it.

Top Gear is the show that got me into becoming a car enthusiast. I was devastated when Clarkson, May, and Hammond left the show permanently. Top Gear was one of the best shows on TV!

Clarkson is a living legend. Joe and Jeremy together? pure gold.

The Argentina thing was over the license plate. Not stuff written on their cars. The incident that got dangerous over stuff written on their cars was when they were in the South. Alabama or Georgia or something I don't remember the state.

Went out to Hennessy's place in 2001. His guys were super cool showing off their work and projects. Hennessy showed up and asked for 50 bucks for a tour. Turned around and left.

I watched every Top Gear since the mid-80s until the move to Amazon. It was one of the best because nothing was out of bounds and they had real chemistry. JRE should definitely interview Clarkson.

How did he not even mention that Richard happened almost died crashing a jet car at 300mph and was in a coma 😅 Clarkson driving a truck into a wall was probably one of the lesser dangerous stunts they’ve done.

Top Gear is the best tv show of all time

Clarkson, Hammond and May will forever be my favorite thing about tv. Ive watched everything theyve donr since i was a child. Love the trio.

The Argentina episode was hilarious, same thing happened when they went to Vietnam doing a challenge against each other and to which ever car broke down first had to drive Vespas with the song “born in the USA” blasting through the speakers! 😂

The amazing chemistry between Clarkson, Hammond and May, is something that can never be duplicated or improved.

Man I grew up with top gear. It was just magic, counting down the days till Sunday for the new ep, felt like three mates on a gap year.

How cool would it to see Clarkson, Hammond, and May on JRE. Not just to learn behind the scenes from Top Gear, but their move to The Grand Tour, and their current projects. I watch all 3 of their current shows like Clarkson's Farm, DriveTribe, the new pub, etc...

Top Gear is by far my favourite show of all time, I grew up on it and some of my best memories are associated with it.

@4:31 “They did all kinds of crooked sh*t.” So did you, Jon, so did you.

Top Gear was #1 show of my childhood, it was everything i ever wanted from tv as a kid

Jeremy has had one of the best jobs a man could ever have, driving the best cars around for the last four decades

ANY of the trio on JRE… that would be soooo good!

Top Gear with Clarkson, Hammond, and May, was the best show ever. True entertainment at its very best.

The more recent tunnel speed test where James May hit the wall straight on was pretty nutty too.

One hour into the podcast I was thinking wow, John Hennessy is doing such a great interview with Joe.

Jezza and the lads were the best. Never watched Top Gear once they left. Clarkson's farm is also such a great show! Legends

That truck crash by jezza was nothing compared to Hammond's crash in the jet car.

Clarkson, Hammond and May on JRE would be such a brilliant few hours

Top Gear makes me proud to be British! Some of the best TV moments of all time come from that great show, When the original hosts left that's when the show truly ended.

The Falklands incident was not on purpose. The main reason for that was purely a coincidence due to Clarkson's license plate on his Porsche 928. He had deliberately chosen what car/model in advance to buying one, because the 928 is a fairly rare car that Jeremy has a sentimental connection with. It was just random that one of the two 928 models (with the specks he wanted) available in Britain at that time had a licence plate that read H982FKL, a reference to the 1982 Falklands war. Jeremy has said he didn't notice that connection until things started to heat up during the special. Also, one can find official info on the said car, that prove the licence plate was original with the car from its first registration many years prior the incident. The only way this could be deliberate was if Jeremy saw that car, noticed the licence plate, and thought, "Hey, let's buy that one and take that to Argentina." Which I frankly have trouble to believe, because of rarity of that car. Sometimes, the truth is stranger than fiction (the speculation if this was deliberate), and considering the odds at play here, I think that is just the case.

When I worked for DCX Viper Racing Division (Dodge) as an engineer back in the 00's, we sent John a Viper to build for us ( again, we're Dodge... the manufacturer). Took him twice as long as it should have to send us the finished car back, and the first time Tommy (Archer) took the car around our test track... it blew up. Dude gets by on his name alone.

Argentina was just a gripe about an unfortunate license plate. Car had had the same plate since it was first registered 40 or 50 years ago. 😅

Normally I do not like American cars but the Velociraptor and the Exorcist are truly amazing cars. Well done John, especially as the presenters can be very harsh on vehicles. Long live The Grand Tour and Hennessy cars

It wasn’t a car show it was just entertainment 😂

The "message" written on the cars in Argentina were not scrawled on with a pen or a sticker on the wheel arch, it was the license plate from the UK. Apparently it was a pure accident/coincidence that the license plate references the Falkland Wars (H982 FKL), and I heard you can even check the cars registration history in the UK and see it remained the same. Maybe they chose that car for that reason, it's hard to say, but it seems very unlikely it was intenional.

Would love to see all three or each individually on JRE. Especially clarkson with his farming that he's doing and the things he's learned.

I was lucky enough to see Top Gear live. That was a lot of fun. They had a mobile V8 studio, they played soccer with cars, etc. Great show! It would be great to see these guys here.

For those who would like to know. Dunsfold aerodrome was a WWII fighter base that then became important in the 60’s & 70’s for Harrier JumpJet post production testing. The Harrier was manufactured in a Kingston factory by the Thames and then trucked in two pieces (wings and fuselage) then put together and engine started, tested & eventually airborne at Dunsfold before the aircraft were flown to its intended base.

It's not a UK-company-owned-by-the-government in combination with a UK court situation, but rather because knowing that the nature of the show and the way these "tests"/"reviews" are conducted are not necessarily informational/educational but purely for entertainment purposes. Because of this IT IS in fact reasonable to assume that no viewer would compare the tesla's performance as indicated per the "review" to its real life performance - it makes total sense

BBC Top Gear is without a doubt the greatest television show I’ve ever watched. I love Clarkson so much that I watched him try and be a farmer during the lockdown.

Community notes here: The Argentina thing was a number plate "H982 FKL" - 1982 and Falklands. The presenters were rushed out under cover and flew home. The crew had to abandon the cars and drove at speed to the border with Chile and flew home from there. The writing things on cars came from the roadtrip across the southern states in one of the very early seasons. Things like "hilary for president" and "man love rules ok" had them chased by hillbillies out of town from a petrol station in Alabama.

In Argentina they didn't write on any of their cars, but one of the cars they brought to use for the episode was a Porsche that had a license plate "H982 FLK" which some Argentinians thought was an intentional reference to the 1982 Faulklands War. Clarkson actually had that number plate registered to his Porsche since the early 90s so this wasn't done just for the episode and didn't even know people would read the plate as any kind of reference.

John "I'll take your money but not finish building your car, even though I've sold your stock parts online" Hennessey. No doubt about it, he builds some fast cars. But I wouldn't trust him. The reputation has been tarnished.

Imagine having those three on the show. Would be amazing

This guy is a massive top gear fan... and im happy for him ❤

Story on Hennessy is he was a big Viper builder back in the day. He was taking parts of one car and installing them on other cars and basically ripping people off. I remember it all blew up on the old LS1Tech forum. He came on to defend himself and it went downhill from there 😂

They're still doing stuff for The Grand Tour, but it's pretty much exclusively their globetrotting specials. They did away with their live audiences, celebrity portions, car reviews, and the like. All three of those guys would be great guests on the show: Clarkson is a really dynamic personality, May is a keen dabbler and solid conversationalist, and Hammond is a lot of fun and has some great stories to share. Any of them would be cool, all three at once would be glorious chaos.

That episode was shot at area 27 in Oliver BC, Canada. An awesome Villeneuve designed track and welcoming driving community. Area 27 is an amazing gem!

7:28 Yes! My favorite Grand Tour episode out of them all. It featured the best cars (at the time... early 2019) from the top 3 US carmakers: Ford Mustang RTR (by Hennessy) with 740HP driven by Clarkson, Dodge Challenger Demon w/ 800HP driven by Hammond, and the Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 Exorcist w/ 1000HP (its name not by accident) driven by May.

I remember that "lorry" episode. They all customized tractor trailer semi trucks and part of one test had Clarkson slam into brick wall. It was real and quite bad. Even some on board cameras were damaged and broken from the impact. I think it cracked a rib or worse on him idr exactly. Just one of many insane things they didn't fake. Hammond almost died more than once, even being in a coma when wrecked that one car

The 'side shows' of the main 3 Top Gear guys are worth the watch. Hammond has several 'dirty jobs' type series and a weird nature one. May has a great foodie/travel show with a lot of Japanese weirdness, and Clarkston has a rural lifestyle/farming show.

Top Gear was one of my all time favorite shows. Just not the same without the original guys !

Hennessy down in sealy texas!! Represent!!! Miss using the track back in high school

the thought if having clarson may and hommond all on. joe would never get a word in but it would be hilarious. i miss those three and their years are fading them, we need more of them now or we will never get more of them.

When Top Gear tested a car they would drive it for a day or two before shooting. The Tesla broke down, they had the Tesla guys look over it & they fixed it. Then it came time to make the "review" & they worked the breakdown into the story. It didn't actually break down while filming but it did the day before.

In the UK nobody has every watched top gear and said, "I'm going to go buy that now." It's for entertainment

they did car stuff I always remembered it was a show. Which is so important to enjoy it. I loved it. I still revisit the old top gear. I wish Amazon would sell the GT show so I cou review it without subscription.

Hennessey's performance shop got in trouble back in the early 2000's. I'm surprised it survived and boomed after that.

Mr Hennessy got a couple of things wrong, the license plate was H982FKL which was seen as a subtle dig at the Falklands War. The records show that the plate was original to the car from new. I think it’s incredibly far fetched to say that they saw this car registration and decided to plan a whole trip to Argentina based on an obscure reference, there is even more detail to be accounted for and many show workers have all come out and said it was a total coincidence. I am inclined to believe it for many reasons, the main reason being that Top Gear was not subtle enough for that. As they showed, their idea of jokes was crashing into a brick wall, not some tiny tiny detail on a license plate that won’t get much screen time. In regards to the Tesla thing, it’s also worth mentioning that another reason why they trolled Tesla is for years Tesla wouldn’t let them have a car and messed them about, saying it didn’t need TV coverage etc, so it was there way of roasting them as well as trying to make comedy of electric cars. Also, the BBC is completely Independent of the British government, no interference from the government or courts in that matter, in fact the government would have liked the BBC to loose! 😆

Clarkson did get whiplash from driving through the wall. 😂 you'll never get a better show than old top gear ⚙️ 👌🏻

No comedian on earth could come close to how funny these three dudes had been

Having any of the trio come onto the show would be amazing. Somebody make it happen!

someone said this dude looks like he could be shane gillis’s dad 🤣

I love old Top Gear and current The Grand Tour, they are so funny. Even the controversial stuff they did is funny.

I’m fairly sure it was proven that the number plate on Jeremy’s car couldn’t have been “faked” or done intentionally

He got the entire thing with Argentina wrong. The license plate was an anagram that Argentines claimed said “1982 Falkland.” And the crew had to drive out of Argentina into Chile.

The show was 99% scripted and they weren't shy about the fact. When they got some award for some big awards show for "best unscripted television show" Jeremy said "I deeply appreciate the award for best unscripted tv show but I can't be there because we are too busy writing the script for the next season." They also did a follow-up episode on Tesla where they made fun of the whole lawsuit and obviously wasn't meant to be taken seriously.

The wind ups were phenomenal, some of the funniest staged TV of all time. And a cool car show too :)

When I first discovered top gear a few years ago I binge watched about 10 seasons. It made my inner monologue have a english accent for a few weeks.

I was lucky enough to get on one of the last season's of Top Gear and they are just as funny off camera. Be great to get them on the podcast. Clarkson would get along great with Joe..

Jeejus! Cant wait the 18 months till jeremy and kaleb are back at it. Super show. And great promotion for local farming.

I love top gear they're absolutely hilarious I love them so much

Is that even John Hennessy's shirt or did he find it in a customer's car?

All 3 should be on the podcast asap... Would be hilarious with their stories and arguments 🤣🤣

This guys are absolute madlads.

It’s only when I watch this interview that I realise that not many countries get our savage British sense of humour. Watch it for what it is….. comedy. 🇬🇧

This guy is such a smooth and articulate talker. You always heard so many stories about how he ripped off so many customers etc etc…

It would be great to have joe as a guest on both top gear and grand tour,

Top gear was so good, im sure everybody had days where they would just watch non stop top gear repeats on Dave. Grand tour is great too they just dont make enough of them.

Met Clarkson twice at the Hawkstone brewery in the Cotswolds last year, he threw a little party for his beer in June, and a larger one in September. I was suprised, he was actually flattered I came all the way from Germany for the event. Made fun of each others accents, talked about cars and music. Second time around he had a v6 Ferrari hybrid, I was parked next to him in a car French plates and left hand drive I left there the night before, so naturally he was curious. The Ferrari had some light blue accents on it, which looked horrible, so we're both a little hung over making fun of that. People might dislike him for his views, but one on one he's very forthcoming actually.

Back in the day top gear was the most popular TV show on earth. Between the views and downloads it was getting over 350 million views per episode.

I wish i could un-see top gear, and the grand tour......... So i could watch it all over again fresh! Absolutely loved both series. Clarkson's farm is great. Really enjoyed James Mays travel series for Amazon as well. Also enjoying the drive trying stuff on UKposts. These guys just know how to entertain.

The segment of James May topping out the Bugatti Veyron back in 07 is still my all time favorite moment of the show, really captivating.

An episode of JRE with the top gear guys would be fantastic!

John Hennessy is an awesome builder! Cool to see this!!!!!
