His outlandish personality is what makes the show so great. His intent is not to be malicious, it's to be funny. Loosing him would be catastrophically bad for the BBC, especially here in the states. I've been an avid Top Gear fan forever and I am always happy to watch the three idiots and the shenanigans each week.

The BBC makes good money off the show. Since his employment wasn't terminated he'll be back.

Jeremy Clarkson most infamous moments February 2004 - Tree incident The BBC apologises after Clarkson drives a Toyota pick-up truck into a tree in Somerset. It pays compensation of £250 after the tree loses a section of its bark. December 2006 - Derogatory references The BBC upholds complaints over Clarkson supplementing the word gay with a phrase that was rhyming slang for "queer" - ginger beer - in an exchange while filming an episode of Top Gear. The executive producer of Top Gear then "reminded the presenters and the production team of the importance of avoiding derogatory references to sexual orientation". November 2008 - Jokes about sex worker murders A Labour MP demands that Clarkson be sacked after he makes a joke about lorry drivers killing prostitutes at a time when five sex workers in Ipswich had been murdered. 500 people complain to the BBC. November 2011 - Execution On the BBC's One Show, Clarkson responds to a public sector strike by saying that the BBC needs to be editorially balanced and says: "I would take them outside and execute them in front of their families." January 2012 - India jokes India's high commission in the UK sends a formal complaint to the BBC after "tasteless" antics by Clarkson, after he makes jokes about Indian trains, history, food, clothes and toilets. Eventually 188 complaints are made about the special episode which attracts 5 million viewers. March 2014 - Burma In a special show in Burma, Clarkson remarks on a bridge built during the episode using a pejorative word for Asians, saying: "That is a proud moment, but there's a slope on it." May 2014 - Final warning Clarkson is called before BBC bosses after the Mirror newspaper report he was heard using N-word as he recites an old version of the rhyme "Eeny, Meeny, Miny, Moe" to choose between cars in filming an unused take for Top Gear. He says at the time that BBC has threatened to sack him if he makes "one more offensive remark, anywhere, at any time". October 2014 - Falklands Clarkson drives a car in a Patagonia special in Argentina with the licence plate H982 FKL, allegedly a references to the Falklands war, generating substantial controversy, with Argentina's embassy in London making a formal complaint to the BBC over the incident. March 2015 - Suspension Clarkson is suspended after "fracas" with a BBC producer, says the BBC.

People who are easily offended need to realize the world is not going to bend to their will just because they have an opinion.

You need the dumb witted/heavy footed clarkson, the slow and fore-thinking mays, and the cowboy-ish and constantly frustrated Hammond. Together they check and balance each other, every time clarkson does something stupid mays is there to berate him. When Hammond get frustrated or goes cowboy, clarkson take him down a notch. And Mays... well he's just a punching bag that tries to make a sensible choice in insensible world of Top Gear.

People offended by the things he says need to grow up.
In an ideal world sure I might be offended, but hey I have bigger things on my mind. Like oh, the country being dismantled, finances, a war on terror and an invasion through our open southern border.

its wrong to have values that are different. Going to Church makes you a member of a hate group, being a conservative makes you a racist, being from the south makes you backwards, and being a gentlemen makes you a sexist. I love the 21st century

The show wouldn't be the same if he was gone, def will be back. Too good of a show to burn in flames. Kinda tired of the world complaining these days. Don't like it, don't watch it. There are far more offensive content out there to whine about than bashing on a comedian of the sort.

kram36 Good, they should get rid of that old prejudice wind bag. http://www.foxnews.com/le...rkson/?intcmp=features
HELL NO!! Jeremy Clarkson is the best! He is what makes the show. In fact he is the show or the face of the show. But I do too love Hammond. I like how Hammond talks about muscle cars, trucks, and the outdoor stuff that appeals to a guy like me. I say get rid of Captain Slow off the show. I hate his reviews so boring. Whats oddly funny to is yesterday I just got done watching all of season 22's episodes and this happened. Regards Jeremy is not going anywhere so no worries for me.

I'm offended that people are offended by him. If you disagree you are discriminating against me, thus must be silenced and put to death.
