Well I'll miss him on the show but I doubt it's the last we'll see of him. Some other network will pick him up shortly.

I don't disagree with the firing. If anyone of us punched a co-worker repeatedly for 30 seconds at work we would be fired. I wouldn't expect not to be fired if I punched a co-worker.

Oh, come on. I don't even know any TV producers and I'd like to punch one :beatyoass:

Funny, I've read all of Clarkson's books but I've only ever seen two episodes of Top gear: The one where they killed the Toyota and the one where they kept on flipping the Reliant Robin.

I have a co-worker I'd love to punch in the face. Hard. Being fired and/or arrested for doing so stops me. Plus physical violence (unless you are protecting yourself) is silly. Just because someone is famous and beloved doesn't mean they should get a free pass when the rest of us are punished for our actions.

He did something wrong and got punished. Oh well. Life goes on. He's rich. I'm pretty sure he'll land a gig somewhere else soon.

I've been reading about this, a little bit. It sucks, but I'm sure Clarkson will end up on another show somewhere and I will watch

Or since Hammond and James are leaving too since they're a "package", maybe there will be a Jeremy Clarkson ' s Top Gear! With Richard Hammond, James May, and of course, the Stig!
