Jay Kay Interview & Fastest Lap | Top Gear

[@bryanewyatt]

Watching these old interviews, it's amazing how far the editing and production values on Top Gear came.

[@bkalinic]

Fun fact for those who don't know: this is the second ever episode of top gear (season 1, episode 2)

[@dparag14]

I guess that's obvious looking at the lap time board. Seeing as there's no one else on there. And he did stay undefeated for a long time.

[@rishimakhanlal8905]

@@dparag14 Not so obvious. It could be the second episode of season 3, 4....

As a young Jamiroquai fan and natural car nut, Top Gear absolutely snagged me with this episode. Best show ever!

I love Jason Kay. He is what's left of the true musician/singer/songwriter out there. He is not as popular over here in the states as he should be IMO but whatever...

[@Thrashman-ye4cf]

I was always surprised he wasn't as big over here, I've heard many people say "jamiroquai was a one hit wonder" like no they're just more popular in Europe lolll

[@miv-7776]

@@Thrashman-ye4cf yeah exactly, always get surprised when people dont know jamiroquai, my bf and i are huge fans!!

[@reupbeatz2174]

His voice is incredible

[@leahevehumphries]

Aww this comment was left probably when I'd only just discovered Jamiroquai. Around 2010 by the looks of it, when I was 10. My mum had her iPod plugged in to the car while we were on a road trip and a song came on by them, I was like 'what's this weird band' then when we got home I looked on the music section of the TV (back when that was a thing) and listened to a bunch of their songs. They've been my favourite band ever since!

[@helenrichards1256]

This was so entertaining, what a natural genuine genius.

[@Hotlips4000isback]

People ALWAYS slag this guy off for being "cocky". They just don't have the amount of intelligence to realise when someone like him is special. He's SUPER intelligent, and tells it like it is. He's got allot of talent, and he knows it.

[@edwingomez5442]

El es natural, talentoso y muy inteligente eso es verdad te apoyo 😁👍

[@AngelApprentice]

He is fab!!!!

[@Redspy27]

Jay's right, 10 000 pounds isn't cheap. Jay seems a nice guy, 'specially seeing as he's disgustingly rich.

[@DatOneGuy901]

Jay Kay's the man.

[@GG-yn6jw]

I love him he's too adorable for words!!! Good job driving mate!❤👏👏👏👍

[@ermagerd101]

I would love to see Jay Kay have his own race team!

[@jcrouzzo]

If Jay Kay was hosting I would watch top gear again. Haven't watched since the golden trio left...

[@DarkLazor666]

jay kay forever, best songs ever made

[@flowchartactual]

*Plays “Cosmic Girl” over the clip of Jay absolutely killing it*

[@mysonstegman]

Love it love it hes truly a proper driver

[@thesoothebooth]

That woman in the background wants him so bad.

[@licoesdedireitoportugues4886]

Oh yes

[@licoesdedireitoportugues4886]

no he isn’t

[@adamc1272]

Hahahaha great spot

Alfred Leonidas you and Brad need a better job than posting scam links. Like selling jewelry to friends. Anything.

[@aidinmcinerney6512]

It's because of the handbrake turn

[@legendapoju22]

Not a douchebag. Simon Cowell is a douchebag. Jay Kay.... he's the funkiest man in the world

[@sippie_cup]

When eve somebody is near him, a funk warning comes up some say

[@iGoodDriver]

The 360 spider which he mentions is outside... I sat in that a few months ago!! Silver 360 (2001 plate ) modena spider with black and green interior which i actually thought looked really good.

[@marvinrodriguez9011]

I really like his song from Need For Speed Most Wanted 1 & also his song from GTA 5

[@Crimsonphilosophy]

Lmao the lady in the background is about to slide off her chair

[@ryn5302]

love he says it's not cheap...he is right...value

[@pinklesley]

@bullysgod The men who dont like Jay Kay have to speak out because they are everything he isnt. Girls love him, hes successful and he can afford to indulge his hobby. Good on him! I live by that mantra.

[@nicosmind3]

I don't get the JK hate. Dude seems spot on.

[@jackwalsh7993]

One of the most underrated greatest singer's Britain has ever produced

[@digiface]

Watch 'Jay Kay receives a thunderous headbutt ' you may change your mind a bit

[@JoyoSnooze]

@nath909 Ah yes. Because a man's profession is an immediate measure of his physical ability. Grow up, pal. Jay Kay acted just how most people act when they are pissed - utterly idiotic and grossly immature. He is human, after all. And in his earlier days the sheer immensity of his success went straight to his head. That is to be expected of a young man. Nowadays, he has completely matured. The only people that cite his earlier days of idiocy are those that are jealous of him now. Life fact.

[@jamie8037]

Im listening to one of his songs rn lmao. Virtual insanity

[@leemoulder84]

FUNKING LEGEND

[@Targoon_Music]

7:57 handshake fail and that ahahahahaha ah ha ha

[@derhausaholic]

Jay Kay is actually the opposite of that, but he has had a phenomenal career. In later interviews he's very changed.

[@CasparWilson]

Wow, I love how low budget the show looks, tiny audience, almost no clapping, people coming and going. Big difference to now.

[@artfull334]

Jay Kay is Great...

[@jondury9450]

Napolean Dynamite wouldn't be the same without him.

[@Lloydtriescars]

look how many people there are in the studio compared to todays top gear! just goes to show how much the show has evolved!

[@MrNathan791]

man this was great to see J Kay from the stage and just kicking it .he's really into cars. cool.

[@sandy-leechetty9703]

One of my favourite episodes 😄

[@SkinnyEMedia]

Driving a vehicle fast throughout Essex “feels just like it should”, like a “space cowboy”!

[@oHOpakmanOho]

@JoshMufc101 i think thats the episode of top gear and it say in the description, "Added: August 16, 2008"

[@daftrobot]

Jay is one of the best! jay rulezzz

[@Diddy_Do_It2037]

He's a legit car guy

[@sebastal]

WOW! There was a youtube in 2002?

[@suncity22001]

isnt it a shame when someone gets slated for being sure of themselves and basically happy...its the inadequacy"s of others that blinds them into thinking people like Jay Kay are tosser's...he is on a totally different plain.

[@suncity22001]

@Jenny Radcliffe why is he a tosser ?

[@wbev_thai1666]

Great guy , my boss went to his house to price some work up , I asked my foreman who was pricing it , if he could ask for a signed photo for my missis, true to form I got a signed picture of jay sitting on the bonnet of one of his mauve lambo’s

[@toeboe106]

What i can't believe watching this ,is the small amount of people in the audience.Looks like a fun nite in Shropshire!

[@flathead1028]

I’m surprised Jay didn’t want to rearrange the furniture???

[@ssslobasss]

Taking in consideration that I have no interest in cars whatsoever it is good to know that my favourite show on TV is Top Gear ~ a car review show!? But I do like Jay and his music. Imagine how happy am I to know that he is No 1 time on the famous Top Gear lap. Woof! Woof!!!

[@vesp_ttv]

This man is deffently Dancing, walking and rearanging furniture

[@pimpinkeen19]

Jay Kay was more down to earth with the O.G'S than with Matt.

[@colebrookhouse]

Jay Kay should have hosted Top Gear

[@jamie516]

after seeing this, he is, he really loves cars.

[@edwingomez5442]

Me encanta de el aparte de su físico y talento que es tan arriesgado. Además, su pasión por la música y los autos lo hace más sexy 😘

[@Parintachin668]

Why couldn't they have gotten him as a host?

[@Rasmos]

It’d be nice if Jay Kay took over Top Gear as host when they got rid of the three amigos.

[@Redmenace96]

What a sweet gentleman! Never heard of this dude, and he was a fabulous guest. Full-on car nut.

[@gruppenfuhrer73]

he is actually an arrogant scruffy little shit go watch other clips of him, cocaine addict

[@Luvie1980]

You are right about that!!!

I want that hat! Anyone have idea where to get one?

what year is this?

There is no one in the studio lol.

at first it looked like he had a cup on his head

[@theindiefanclub]

@groove1971 Do you mean cocaine? If so, he stopped that ages ago. Jay kay is just one of those people that realizes that he's better than most people, and likes to flaunt it a little too much.

If KZbin existed in 2002 it would probably be uploaded then

thankyou

[@thenutsisgood]

@JoshMufc101 maybe this video was uploaded to top gear website in 2002 and then tg made their own youtube channel in 05.

[@AAInventors]

@Dime6String You are totally right...i was thinking of this long time ago....

well you do get a break half way through the recording and a bag of snacks and a cup of tea so you do get a sit down if you want thats if your not in line for the presenters autographs

[@Doevs]

Jay Kay, his name is Jason Kay. So not that strange right? He's the frontman of the band Jamiroquai ;-)

[@markit39]

[@geekdiggy]

how much smaller top gear audiences were back then...

[@Plane60]

COOL Jay Kay Rules !

[@andrewirobinson]

But they are professional racers or were. I would like to see you write as many timeless records as him, that is because he is a professionals singer and musician.

[@daftrobot]

wow intresting video

[@reececameron5070]

[@theindiefanclub]

@piraterock87 xD It's Jay Kay. If you had a voice like that, what sane man WOULDN'T love the sound of his own voice!?

[@gaz11h]

there was and the shows took a lot longer to film about 5 and half hours now it's more like 3 the studio audience was only about 100 people then now its 600

[@SIX-SH00T3R]
