Jeremy Clarkson's New Show On Amazon May Be Out This Fall; Is The 'Top Gear' Host Struggling?
Jeremy Clarkson is preparing for his upcoming motoring show which will be aired on Amazon Prime.
Clarkson, 55, was sacked from "Top Gear" last year after being involved in a physical altercation with one of the shows producers. Fans of the BBC program pleaded to let him stay on the show, but executives insisted that they will find a replacement. It was later on announced that radio host Chris Evans has replaced Clarkson as the show's host.
Last year, Clarkson, along with his "Top Gear" co-presenters James May and Richard Hammond, signed a multi-million contract with digital broadcaster Amazon Prime, which produces original television shows including "Alpha House" and "Extant."

According to reports, the untitled Amazon show is set to be released sometime in the Fall, although there are no details on the exact date of the pilot episode.
Meanwhile, "Top Gear" has halted filming after realizing that Evans has trouble with talking and driving at the same time.
A report by The Sun, carried on by Channel 24 states, "Chris is really struggling to master the art of driving and talking to camera, which is crucial. He is in a massive sweat about it because he often ends up fluffing his lines."
The issue is only one of the setbacks for "Top Gear" after executive producer Lisa Clark announced she was quitting the show five months after she was brought in.
Alex Renton, the show's series editor for 10 years, will take over Clark's position on an interim basis for the show to continue.
"Top Gear" is set to return on May 8. Jeremy Clarkson's new Amazon show, which aims to rival BBC's longstanding motoring series will release sometime in 2016.
