The Old Stig Reveals Who He Thinks Should Be the Next Grand Tour Trio

[@smashkh8314]

Amazon should just create new show with new name to be honest. They are thinking like the BBC right now. Just admit no one can replace our trio and start a small new car show.

[@bigveganal]

@@vycanismelodis I agree that there is a gap in the scheduling for a car show. But it needs to be something new and different for it to stand any chance of working. Look at what happened with Top Gear… The same will happen with The Grand Tour if they just try to replace the presenters.

[@BenCollinsDrives]

So reading these comments - how about i get Jason Cammisa, Autoalex, Mcann, Freddie, Tyler, Bolian, Harris, Fernie & wheel them out for a supercharged track special .?!

[@BagOfH0lding]

Quite frankly my favorite seasons of Top Gear were the early seasons. Drivetribe right now is the closest thing to get that feel. Then the news segment with the three of them laughing and joking around. The big expensive stunts and super cars stood out because they were the dessert after eating your dinner. Get Drive Tribe and… whoever you two know but actually get on with. Chemistry is as important as knowing their cars.

[@dawveed26]

Jason for sure, then Tyler and Harris would be my trio out of this group.

[@MRMERLIN_021]

What made the trio work besides their chemistry, was that they were motoring journalists before the shows. They knew cars. It won't using people that only have a vague interest in cars.

[@dihartnell]

I agree. Some random celebrities who like cars aren't going to cut it, particularly if all three think they are number one and they can't get on well enough to build the chemistry together. The obvious possible exception to this would be someone like Tom Cruise.

[@CaraesNaur]

Exactly. Furthermore, a new trio needs to come in with their own dynamic. I would say Chris Harris, Jason Cammisa, and another auto journalist with a big enough personality to match them.

Top Gear ended when Clarkson, Hammond and May left. The Grand Tour was grand, but it can end with the boys. Redoing it with the same formula without the guys just won't last. Stern and Rogan? Is the Stig on meds? That's absurd.

[@Elwaves2925]

Yeah, I said myself that I'd watch for THE Ben Collins but Rogen would stop me watching. I hope he was joking with that and Mike simply didn't pick up on that.

[@PaulMcElligott]

The Top Gear reboot (and the various international versions) all proved one thing. You can’t just stick any three idiots in cars and automatically expect it to work. You need the right three idiots. To really duplicate the Top Gear formula, you need to start with a media figure with the stature and credibility that people will take at least somewhat seriously. That person needs a behind-the-scenes partner like Andy Willman. They need to have a solid concept for their show and find two or three other presenters who the main person already works well with. Trying to cast a bunch of individuals and just expecting them to have the same chemistry was never going to work. In Top Gear’s case, you wind up with Chris Evans thinking it’s the Chris Evans Show, Matt LaBlanc thinking it’s the Matt LaBlanc show, and everyone else thinking it’s an ensemble. Clarkson had the advantage of not trying to duplicate an existing show. Instead of trying to reproduce what they created, try to reproduce the process that created it. You might wind up with something completely different, but at least it won’t feel like a stale retread.

Don't forget that Andy Wilman did all the behind-the-scene work to make things work. They also need that person who is the "fifth Beatle" to let the creativity going, counting the jokes, get the editors in the right spot, bonking against the studio. The best thing Amazon could do is let the plan go. It's to fresh and even The Top Gear "classics" get hundred thousands of views on youtube. Just wait until Clarckson, May and Hammond are very old and start very low profile like Top Gear 2 started.

What people fail to understand is that the trio became what they are today over time. They weren’t legends from day one. Jeremy started alone then James and Richard joined and slowly people realised that they had great chemistry. When they started no one had big personalities they worked hard to have larger than life big personalities. In short no one can replace them and even if they could find someone it’s never going to mean that they will find the same success.

[@Bleachguy2023]

i agree once the trio left top gear the ratings where never the same and ya it happened over time

I would go for a change of format (for the first season at least) I'd go for a basic trio which is in every episode (my suggestions would include but not limited to Alex Kersten, Tavarish, Matt Armstrong, the TDC guys, Ethan Smale cuz lol) and then have a 4th team or person each episode for the roadtrip/challange/special. this would be a youtube channel, automotive journalist, or celebrity depending on the scenario. just to show case whats out there and see what and whom the audience likes. from there you should have a lot of information to write out a succesful season 2. bonus points if one challenge includes the mighty car mod guys for best ute.

Chris Harris might be reluctant to go again but it's also not Top Gear, so maybe he would but a clean slate to move on from the past could be better. No idea for a third but maybe some YT'er that's credible.

[@richboy900]

[@sufyaankriel9241]

I listened to Tavarish, Hoovie and Ed talk about their Car Trek show, and they confirm that it's a blatant Top Gear rip-off, and yet.... it works for some reason, and is quite popular as a KZbin-only show. They are also planning another one for next year, so the show's do work. Of course, it'll never be on the scale of TG or GT (and nor would they want it to). People forget, but Top Gear Australia is still around, and Fifth Gear has found it's niche. The difficulty is, KZbin is also absolutely flush with car content, and while I do miss TG and GT, whether most of us with admit it or not, there's more than enough content to keep us occupied and (sort-of) happy. Perhaps having tv show that's built around the bigger youtube car guys might be a good thing (but the details will have to be worked out)??? There is also Top Gear on KZbin, with nearly 10M subs, with all the old videos, along with the magazine guys (with Ollie Marriage, etc.) doing all the new content. This format is also doing well, despite the trio not being involved for years. The reality is, if you are gonna have 3 presenters, you'll automatically be the Rip Off show... perhaps they should try something else??? More presenters? More individual content like Old Top Gear used to be (Rob Dahm does this for Top Gear USA), but with a big road trip thrown in as a season finale??? I don't think (and hope) that the format is done. More please!!!!! All the best!

[@WernerKlorand]

I can think of people with qualities in each field that is required (knowledge, story-telling, humour, driving skills, charms). What I can NOT think of is a trio that combines all that in a way that creates the chemistry needed! And by that chemistry I do not only mean friendship, I mean quirkiness, mockery, running gags, habits, national traits etc. And the readiness to travel the world under sometimes rough circumstances and do what has to be done. Those guys may spend most nights in 5 star hotels, but I am sure that the job can become excruciating at times. And the travelling aspect is so linked to TG and TGT that no show can be a worthy successor without the presenters being prepared to go for adventurous journeys together. I see this as the biggest obstacle. I love people like Jason Fenske from Engineering Explained or Ed Bolian or Jason Cammisa, but I cannot imagine them living in neighbouring hotel rooms for weeks and create a strong bond. In short, Clarkson, May and Hammond are irreplaceable! Even though Ben Collins and Chris Harris may seem like a good starting point, I don`t see a British trio tbh. I would rather suggest that Amazon goes all American. Ed Bolian has an attitude that reminds me of Clarkson at times. It might be worth talking to him about a possible cast. But not Freddy or Tyler, they don`t have the stage presence or culture needed. Sorry!

[@woundedcrow4606]

Original trio worked so well because they were all well read, educated, knew a lot of about cars, driving, general culture to connect with people from all walks of life. Never shied away from laughing at their own expense and knew what would make a great TV. Additionally they all had their own little corners of interests which contrasted with others. There are plenty of decent automotive journos, but none have all these components, some are quirky, some are very knowledgeable, some very "laddish", other can drive, but that's it. I'd say what we need is at least one of them to be not involved with cars but quite eccentric and of comedic background, like Theo Von, then someone who can drive like Harris and last one to keep everyone in check and who will keep facts straight and not only looking at the Porsches, like Porter from old Top Gear.

For me, I think it would be better if the announcers don't talk and only the stig does.

The only way to make it work is to not try to replace them. Three new presenters each episode: One car journalist, one comedian, one wildcard. If the audience hates one or all of them, it's not a problem, there will be new ones along next week.

Jason Camissa plus Derick Tam Hyphen Scott plus Thomas and James from Throttle House (with Randy Pobst in the Stig’s roll). Car knowledge is off the charts. Cheeky humor, again out of the ball park. Attention to detail, meticulous. Creative storytelling, I would argue best in the business. 4 very different personalities, absolutely. Camissa - the mad genius Hyphen - the stats straight man Thomas - Uber enthusiast James - the lovable cheeky one ALL of them up for a laugh, all of them proven auto journalists, all of them incredible storytellers, and most importantly of all, all of them proven to be work together well. It would be like Top Gear, Grand Tour, Laugh-In, and a Nature special all wrapped into one.
