Jeremy Clarkson Wiki Biography

Jeremy Charles Robert Clarkson, simply known as Jeremy Clarkson, is a famous English journalist, talk show host, writer, presenter, as well as a columnist. Jeremy Clarkson rose to prominence in 2002, when he started co-hosting a British television show about cars called “Top Gear”. Even though the show is usually praised for its presentation, it has also received criticism for its often offensive commentary, ignorant attitude and remarks, which revolve around the promotion of irresponsible driving, as well as alleged homophobia. In addition to that, the creators of the show have had to deal with several lawsuits that were filed against the hosts of the show, including Clarkson, for the use of racist terms on air.

Nevertheless, “Top Gear” still retains the attention of a large audience, as it is estimated to be watched by 350 million viewers per week in more than 170 countries around the world. The show gathered a lot of its public acceptance and attention when Clarkson, together with Richard Hammond and James May became the hosts of the show.

With the focus on long-distance races and various challenges, “Top Gear” inspired the production of several similar shows abroad, including “Top Gear Australia”, “Top Gear Russia”, and “Top Gear US.”. A winner of an International Emmy Award, “Top Gear” remains among the most widely watched television shows in the world.

A famous talk show host, how rich is Jeremy Clarkson? In 2013, Jeremy Clarkson’s earnings amounted to $21 million, which he received after the BBC bought out the rights to the “Top Gear Empire”. Meanwhile, in 2014, Jeremy Clarkson added a sum of $1.6 million from the motoring show. In regards to his total wealth, Jeremy Clarkson’s net worth is estimated to be $50 million.

Jeremy Clarkson was born in 1960, in Doncaster, England, where he studied at Hill House School and later transferred to Repton School. Jeremy Clarkson’s professional career began with the “Rotherham Advertiser” magazine, where he worked as a journalist. Prior to becoming a famous television host, Clarkson worked for several other newspapers and even created the “Motoring Press Agency”, which resulted in the creation of an automobile magazine called “Performance Car”. Clarkson’s interest in cars landed him a job opportunity at the “Top Gear” magazine, from which he moved on to be one of the main hosts of the show of the same name in 1988. The program ran until 2000, but in 2002 it returned to television screens with a changed and more audience-friendly format, which significantly contributed to the popularity of the show.

In addition to “Top Gear”, Jeremy Clarkson has been featured on other television series, including “Jeremy Clarkson’s Speed” show, which aired six episodes, “The Victoria Cross: For Valour”, “Inventions That Changed the World” and “Jeremy Clarkson: The Greatest Raid of All Time” to name a few. Currently, Jeremy Clarkson writes for such popular British newspapers as “The Sun” and “The Sunday Times”.

A famous talk show host, as well as a journalist and columnist, Jeremy Clarkson has an estimated net worth of $50 million.

#Trademark
1The phrase "And on that bombshell..." (usually used at the end of Top Gear episodes).
2His style of delivery when presenting, involving dramatic pauses and placing emphasis on the last few words in a sentence eg. "...in the world."
3His Height
4Deep Voice
5Sarcastic Wit
#Quote
1I'd hate to see the day when a really bad bug like Ebola gets on a plane.
2I read in the papers how much I'm earning and fall about laughing because I'm sure it's not that much, otherwise I'd have an enormous boat. I'm literally not the slightest bit interested in money. I just don't pay any attention to money, it's rather vulgar.
3The problem is that television executives have got it into their heads that if one presenter on a show is a blonde-haired, blue-eyed heterosexual boy, the other must be a either black gay or a lesbian. Chalk and cheese, they reckon, works. But here we have Top Gear (2002) setting new records after six years using cheese and cheese. It confuses them.
4We only need look at Baroness Thatcher (Margaret Thatcher) to know what women can be like when they want to get in front.
5Sure it's quiet, for a diesel. But that's like being well-behaved... for a murderer.
6Much more of a hoot to drive than you might imagine. Think of it, if you like, as a librarian with a G-string under the tweed. I do, and it helps.
7We all know that small cars are good for us. But so is cod liver oil. And jogging. I want to drive around in a Terminator, not the heroine in an EM Forster novel.
8The only person who ever looked good in the back of a four-seater convertible is Adolf Hitler.
9"Good Shot!" (In reaction to being hit in the face by a pie by a protester at his Honorary Degree ceremony)
10"Only last week I was at my children's sports day and as I lay in the long grass by the river drinking pink champagne and chatting with other media parents, I remember thinking, 'God, I love being middle class'." (Sunday Times 24 July 2005)
11Smokers pay £19,000 a minute to the Exchequer, and that's enough to pay for the whole police force. Or to put it another way, for every £1 we cost the National Health Service, we give it £3.60. Please don't encourage the state to dictate how I live my life.
