Top Gear Presenter James May Reacts To Jeremy Clarkson Being Sacked By BBC

[swamin]

His last sentence, that shows their true friendship

[barrackobama]

I love how he instantly knew he was also leaving top gear

[carsonapplebaum]

That, ladies and gentlemen, is a true friend. Doesn't toss him under the bus, he genuinely stood by him to the greatest possible extent. We all may joke, but James May is a great man.

[Corkoth]

The older I grow with James May, the more I appreciate him as a human being. Honestly he's a class act.

[GamalKevin]

"Much as I think he's a knob, I quite like working with Jeremy."

Shows the great chemistry of them.

[theseshisneverover]

Im not sure he could have conducted himself any better in this interview.

[charlesfisher]

May is a ride or die. Left a multi-million dollar contract, not fully knowing if he'd ever work again, to stay a team with his best friend. That's loyalty

[jungianorigami]

Everyone’s talking about how cute and sweet it is that he stood by his friend. It’s great and all but he had me dying with the “they shot him”

[logicpolice]

"I have to write the eBay listing for my Ferrari" hahahahahahahah

[samhersir]

The day they fired Jeremy clarkson was the day top gear ended.

"People are going to be harassing me. I should wear a terrible hat and make them suffer for it." - James May.

"Much as I think he's a knob, I quite like working with Jeremy."

I've been friends with the same 2 guys for 16 years. This statement is what true friendship is lol

[MadaraUchiha-dwch]

LMAO JEREMY WAS RIGHT, IT TAKES HIM MORE THAN A MINUTE TO GET THROUGH A DOOR

[kwakekamdivasi]

It's been a while since I've seen anyone handle the press this well.

[brendancarter]

“As much as I think he’s a knob, I quite like working with Jeremy”

I just love how he manages to insult Jeremy while also displaying how much their friendship means to him. That might be the most powerful thing May has ever said. That is real true friendship. He knew from the very moment he found out Jeremy was fired that there was no way in hell he was staying without jezza. He knew Richard felt the same way because not once did he mention Hammond.

[peaaanuuutz]

"As much as I think he's a knob, I quite like working with Jeremy"

That made me go

[kuhndj]

"As much as I think he's a knob... I quite like working with Jeremy" - And that's Top Gear in a nutshell, it may continue without Clarkson... but it won't be Top Gear.

[lastmanstanding]

I don't even like cars...
I only ever watched Top Gear because of the lads...

How James May dealt with the press in 3 words:


Cool, calm, collected.

[mitchritchie]

i love that they are actually friends, not just cohosts.
