Top Gear USA hosts announced!
Top Gear has just officially announced who will be hosting the U.S. version of the popular car show, and the winners are… (drum roll, please): Adam Carolla, Tanner Foust and Eric Stromer. Everyone knows Adam Carolla, of course, having seen him hit the big time hosting The Man Show with Jimmy Kimmel and gone on to host his nationally-syndicated radio show called “The Adam Carolla Show”. Foust brings some actual driving cred to the show with a resume that includes stunt driving in movies like “The Bourne Ultimatum,” “The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift” and “The Dukes of Hazard”. He’s also an accomplished winning rally driver, has medaled in the 2007 X-Games and hosted “Supercars Exposed” on the SPEED Channel. Eric Stomer was the last to be casted and when you see him, like us you’ll probably say, “I know that guy.” He hosted an HGTV show called “Over Your Head”, was a former soap-opera actor and spent a lot of time in construction (and on construction-related TV shows). Guess we’ll pick him to win the amphibious vehicle challenges. The press release after the jump also tells us what each host drives, and as you would imagine, the money-is-no-object Carolla, who will now be referred to as Jezza Jr., sports a garage full of Lamborghinis, Maseratis, two Ferraris and an Audi S4. Foust meanwhile makes do with a tricked out BMW M3. Stromer… a Camry Hybrid. Something tells us Stromer better come equipped with a thick skin. So what do you think? Does Top Gear USA now appear better suited for success or does the show have Buck of Fail written all over it?
