Well that ends well. In any case, for Jeremy Clarkson and his program The Grand Tour and Clarkson’s Farm if we are to believe our sources at Variety who now announce that Amazon has chosen to fire the legendary British presenter. This comes in the wake of several months filled with controversy surrounding (mainly) Meghan Markle, who Clarkson spewed bile over in an article in The Sun newspaper.
“I hate [Meghan Markle]…I hate her on a cellular level…At night, I’m unable to sleep as I lie there, grinding my teeth and dreaming of the day when she is made to parade naked through the streets of every town in Britain while the crowds chant, ‘Shame!’ and throw lumps of excrement at her.”
It’s hardly the first time Clarkson has been in trouble and, as some of you may remember, he was also fired from the BBC after rumors about how he treated his TV crew very badly. The future for The Grand Tour and Clarkson’s Farm is therefore extremely dark and according to the previously mentioned source, Amazon will not broadcast more of the programs beyond what has already been recorded. In other words, 2024 will be the last year for the respective programs if nothing new happens.
What do you think of Clarkson and his outburst, fun or over the top? Is Amazon doing the right thing here?
