Clarkson Says Top Gear America "Canned"

FinalGear · February 11th, 2009, 11:30 AM

Yes this news is from last week, but I haven't been reading my e-mail too well lately so it slipped between the cracks. Whoops.

During a press conference for Top Gear Live in Australia, Jeremy was asked about the American version of Top Gear and if he thought it was going to be shown in Australia at all. He replied that the show had been "canned" and that us Americans "just don't get it". Now he may have just been referring to NBC passing on the show, but it may also be really dead. I'm not sure as Clarkson isn't usually the most reliable when it comes to these kinds of things.

Anyway, you can see for yourself at 6:30 in:
