I read "Tanner Foust" and was real skeptical. Then I watched the linked vid, and he didn't do as bad as I thought he would. Maybe someone will write some jokes for him...
Blah blah blah, its not british so its not cool, blah blah blah boring, blah blah blah i'm losing hope in the show, blah blah blah blah blah.
Honestly, we could get all of the negative bullshittery out of the way in one post and you can all go back to fondling jeremy clarkson's steak-and-kidney flavored balls? I think this guy is plenty entertaining if you stuck him in front of a nice team of writers, which is something NBC is more known to do than SPEED.
Dissapointed about Dan Neil Though
I personally can't relate much to a Hollywood comedian/dancer/radio personality

And you think Clarkson, Hammond, and May were working at grocery stores before 2002?
Carolla constantly goes on rants about how cheap his family was. He grew up rather poor (food stamps, etc.) and then worked many years as a real master carpenter building houses and teaching boxing. He only got into radio (and Hollywood) by showing up at a radio station and offering to teach Jimmy Kimmel (a minor, minor guy on a local radio station at the time) how to box for a fight.
I don't know of a more normal guy and being rich now doesn't make him not normal.
I don't care how well someone can drive. Really. If this show is about displaying how well this guy can drive, then I'll turn off the TV two minutes before the show comes on. And if it is about how well he can drive they could've done better. They could've got a real race car driver, not some drifter/2nd rate rally driver.
The guy has no ******* personality. He's a tool of the nth degree. And really, I have no faith in NBC's writers. The only shows that they have that are watchable have their few good writers, and they canned their best writer twice now. So I've got no faith in his talents. I may download it to see Adam and whoever else they bring on, but this guy is a huge fail in my book. HUGE fail. And I flat out refuse to watch the show live if this guy is on.

Clarkson. Not that hard.ok stop trying to be mr. clarkston here!!!
if not tanner then who? you've addressed good points but didn't give any idea's for a solution. I'd love to here you're your suggestion for a different host.
Yeah, my profession is critical to this conversation. Ad hominem much?OK cool guy, why not suggest a way they could improve the show, or mention a more suitable(in your opinion) host? All you did in that post, was bitch. Also, Tanner gets paid to race cars and be on tv, what do you get paid to do? Mr. Non Tool...
A racing driver doesn't equal a good host. How would you like Kimi Raikkonen host a show? Or just the stig by himself.
