The Jeremy Clarkson Saga

[benji_r]

Soo JC is good at getting in trouble for what he says and does, and the most recent being him getting upset because there wasn't hot food ready for him when he finished filming one day. He got angry and supposedly hit the one of the producers who was there on site.

Spoiler: My opinion

I feel that yes Clarkson says and does things that he maybe shouldn't sometimes, but they are all for fun and I highly doubt he means any of it. I personally think he should stay at Top Gear, but this incident shouldn't be forgotten.

So what do you guys think of it all?​

As much as I love Top Gear, he should be fired.

In no workplace should anyone feel threatened of physical abuse from their colleagues. If it was anyone else I bet they'd be dismissed immediately, and he shouldn't be given special treatment.

The BBC won't show him the door over something like this- they'll just give him a big warning to ace it up. Top Gear's one of the BBC's biggest money winners, and JC is one of the most popular presenters in the world- especially to the young demographic. Sure, historically he's been a bit of a loose cannon, I'd agree, but he's a large asset to the BBC at the same time. He's like that bad grandpa that you would probably be better off not knowing, but you like the fact that he gets you the most presents at the same time. Jeremy Clarkson is that bad grandpa, and the presents are the views and money him and his show earn the BBC.

Financially, it's stupid, because like I said, he earns a lot of money and views for the BBC. Then again, and this is most likely true, perhaps the BBC would much rather have respectable and behaved presenters than ones who earn lots of money at the shortfall of them being loose cannons.

I guess it won't affect Top Gear though- other networks are ready to pounce at the opportunity to sign him whenever the BBC lets him go. The rest of the Top Gear crew will most likely follow.

tl;dr his career isn't ending soon, but his affiliation with the BBC might be.

Financially wrong, morally right. This is going to be a hard decision, however, if he is getting special treatment because he makes them money, that's sad. I could actually see him being fired. Remember Charlie Sheen a while ago? He was making big bucks and he got fired.

Yeah I agree with what you all have said and that's kinda what I wanted to say just I'm not very good with words xD

Well, I've never really been into many BBC shows, so I can't say much especially because I think I've only watched Top Gear once, but this guy sounds like someone who should be fired for a reality check.
