I had never heard of this guy but he is funny.
Pretty good driver too.

Both times he was on the show (old reasonably priced car as well as the new one) he was pretty funny. Should be, considering he's a comic.

I'm not so sure I agree that he's a good driver. . .just seems like a brave driver that got lucky his first time there, which is what that video was. He had the same bravery in the new car, but ended up at the bottom of the board because he spun in the final corner.

Of all the celebrity drivers I've seen on the show, I think Simon Cowell is the best. First time he showed up, in the old car, he set a time that stood for about 3 years I think. Showed up for the new car this past season and set fastest time by almost half a second. I doubt it'll hold up for 3 years though.

I cant wait until the new Top Gear season starts up. . .
