Matt LeBlanc to join Top Gear presenters

“If Joey is hosting #TopGear, won’t he always be stuck in second gear?”, asked one tweet.

But the BBC is banking on former Friends actor Matt LeBlanc driving up the ratings as he joins Chris Evans as a presenter on the new series of Top Gear.

Evans confirmed the news as he tweeted a picture of himself, LeBlanc, and The Stig.
