Its cool they casted me as the American Stig....


Adam Corrolla! Seriously Wtf, I know the guy is into cars but his voice has me flipping the channel in 5 mins. He is like that uncle you have who is not only creepy looking but thinks hes a comedian and prolly touched your little cousins when no one was looking.

It will FAIL

Its that dry-BBC humor that makes the original so awesome. Carrolla FTL.

I not only watch topgear for the cars but one of my main attractions to that show are the hosts. Those guys together are just perfect and thats one major thing that draws me to that show. I dont think it will be the same at all with different people hosting it. Good thing the BBC version is still running and the new season is about to start soon.

I've heard of Adam Carolla and Tanner Foust but who is this other guy? I think the comedy aspect will be present simply because of Carolla but him being able to make me laugh like Jeremy, Richard and James in the bbc show is unlikely. I'm actually interested in what they will do with the stig tho.
