[@EzraDair]

People don’t say that much often but Jeremy is an excellent interviewer. I mean all the jokes and skits aside he handles his guests very gracefully you forget for a second he’s doing all the silly stuff with May and Hammond.

[@Gamer3427]

Honestly, after watching the trio so much and mostly remembering them for their sillier moments and big adventures, it's easy to forget that they are all three quite genuinely talented at a lot of what they do. There's a reason no other hosts quite match up, both on Top Gear and other shows, because they bring a lot more to the table than you realize unless you compare them to others in the same field.

[@uzairahmed4197]

He has to be one of the best guest interviewers ever every interview is so funny and he always brings the best out of his guests

[@jameswallace7091]

A lot of people didn’t like this segment of the show back in the day but Clarkson countered them by saying many of the people he spoke to about the show asked who the next guest was. I think that’s part of the appeal of top gear and why it so successful.. kids love it because of the silly jokes and the cars and maybe dads loved it for that reason. But mums and other people who aren’t particularly interested in cars can watch it for the guest segment and the jokes throughout. The news segments for me growing up as a kid were really the funniest parts even if I didn’t get a lot of the jokes. Then as a kid who was into cars and could at one point list almost any cars specs loved the car reviews too. It’s because of top gear that I think I was so into cars. This show will forever hold a special place in my heart. Sure Clarkson comes across as an ass at times but that’s what made him famous. If you really watch him he seems to be a genuinely good bloke underneath all the bombastic behaviour and rude mannerisms. His documentaries on the British army commandos and where he talks about the death of his father in one of the shows really does show his softer and perhaps more noble side. He does a lot of charity work for help for heroes which gives me a lot of the respect I have for him.

[@FAT8893]

But that shouldn't be a surprised since Clarkson had his own talk show back in 1998 until 2000.

[@billwatkins8227]

You’re right on about his interviews. The one with Cruise was as relaxed as I’ve ever seen two celebrities flogging a movie . Cruise and Diaz genuinely looked like they were having fun with an old friend. “Why don’t you have ear hair?”

[@piwright42]

"Look at that poor old man." He caught me so off guard with that comment about his own driving that I just about died laughing. Best interview I have seen on this show.

[@natechenry]

“Don’t pity the dead harry, pity the living and above all, those who live without love”- rip Sir Michael Gambon.
