September 2nd 2024.
In a recent interview, Jeremy Clarkson shared his thoughts on the upcoming final season of The Grand Tour, which he will be hosting alongside his long-time co-presenters Richard Hammond and James May. The trio, who have been a fan favorite since their days on BBC's Top Gear, will be embarking on their last adventure together, this time in Zimbabwe. Throughout the years, they have traveled to various exotic locations such as the United Arab Emirates, the US, and Mongolia, all while testing their dream cars.
As the end of The Grand Tour approaches, Clarkson expressed his concerns about the future, particularly his retirement. At 64 years old, he admits that travel is becoming more challenging and that it's a "young man's game." He also revealed his fears of ending up in a retirement home, stating that he "dreads" the thought. However, he also acknowledges that he has been "surprisingly unemotional" about filming the final season, despite it being a significant milestone in his career.
Clarkson also mentioned the emotional impact of the show's ending on his co-presenters. While Hammond was visibly emotional, Clarkson noted that May seemed to have "the emotions of a stone." He also credits his lack of emotions to the fact that he can see Hammond and May anytime he wants, as they are only a phone call away. He also mentions that he is "worn out" from all the travel and that he's ready for a break.
Despite the end of The Grand Tour, the trio will still be working together on Clarkson's Farm, where they have been filming the show for the past 24 years. Clarkson admits that he would have been more emotional about the show's ending if it weren't for the farm show. He also expressed his excitement for the future of The Grand Tour, as it will continue with new hosts, although they have not been announced yet.
As for the new hosts, Hammond believes that the show's format should be left up to them and the production team. He also shares that they will always be available to offer advice and support, but ultimately, it's not their decision to make. He compares the show to a favorite old jacket that only fits a certain person, and believes that the new hosts will create a show that fits them.
Fans can catch the final season of The Grand Tour, titled "One For The Road," on Amazon Prime Video on Friday, September 13. And even though this may be the end of an era for Clarkson, Hammond, and May, fans can look forward to seeing them continue to work together on other projects, including Clarkson's Farm.
