Series Information:
TOP GEAR AMERICA premieres in Jan 2021 on MotorTrend's Subscription Streaming Service, the MotorTrend App. Dax Shepard, Rob Corddry and Jethro Bovingdon have signed on to host the all-new American format of TOP GEAR: TOP GEAR AMERICA. The new series will deliver a US take on the classic TOP GEAR format. It will feature the motorized supercharged adventures of Dax Shepard, Rob Corddry and Jethro Bovingdon.
Dax Shepard is a lifelong gearhead who grew up in Detroit and was raised by a single mother working in the automotive industry. As the owner of a 1967 Lincoln Continental, a 1994 Buick Roadmaster Estate Wagon, a Mercedes AMG E63 and several on-road and off-road motorcycles, Shepard's deep passion for the car world is not only reflected in his hobbies but also in his art. He is the writer, director and star of "CHIPS," about two motorcycle highway patrolmen, and "Hit and Run," about a getaway driver who goes on the lam in order to save his girlfriend.
Four-time Emmy award-winning actor, producer and comedian, and Peabody Award-winning fake journalist, Rob Corddry has been a car enthusiast since his teens when he learned how to drive in a blue 1980s Chevy Celebrity wagon. His love for cars grew after driving to the beach every night in his buddy Jeff's 1965 Mustang held together with bondo. He bought his first car, a white 1975 Ford Pinto wagon with woody walls and rusted out floorboards, for five dollars from a family friend. Having driven some of the coolest rides for five seasons on the hit HBO series "Ballers", Corddry loves driving his 2018 Porsche 911 S, a 1978 Datsun 280z and is "merely fine" driving his boring Lexus RX 350.
Jethro Bovingdon is one of the world's most respected automotive journalists, having spent more than 20 years behind the wheel for many of the industry's most influential media outlets including CAR, evo, DriveTribe, Automobile and MotorTrend. Besides being a skillful writer and analyst, Jethro is also one of the fastest car journalists on the planet, having won his class three times in the grueling 24 Hours of Nurburgring endurance race. Bovingdon brings a British respectability and sophistication to what is sure to be an otherwise raucous and uniquely "American" take on TOP GEAR.
TOP GEAR UK series spanning seasons 1 through 25 with over 170 episodes.
