Jeremy Clarkson

Jeremy Clarkson is a name synonymous with the world of automotive entertainment. From 2002 to 2015, Clarkson hosted the popular television program "Top Gear". His tenure with the show ended in 2015 after a disagreement with a producer, leading him to co-create and host "The Grand Tour" on Amazon Prime Video from 2016 to 2024. Apart from his television roles, Clarkson has a strong presence in print media, penning weekly columns for "The Sunday Times" and "The Sun". His written work also extends to several books, mostly compilations of his columns covering humorous takes on cars and other subjects.

Clarkson's career has not been limited to the realm of motoring. He has dipped his toes in various genres of television, from hosting the ITV game show "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?" from 2018 onwards, to starring in the farming documentary "Clarkson's Farm," which debuted in 2021. His contributions to the entertainment industry have been recognized with accolades such as a BAFTA nomination for Best Entertainment Performance in 2006 and the National Television Awards Special Recognition Award in 2007. Clarkson's versatility is also evident in his hosting gigs on a variety of shows, including the first series of "Robot Wars" and his own talk show, "Clarkson".

Clarkson's interests extend beyond the screen and printed page. He has been involved in farming since 2019 at Diddly Squat Farm, the setting for "Clarkson's Farm". His contribution to the farming industry was acknowledged when the "Clarkson's clause" amendment was introduced in May 2024 to facilitate the conversion of unused agricultural buildings to commercial use. He also holds an honorary Doctor of Engineering degree from Oxford Brookes University, awarded in 2005, which reflects his passion for engineering and his role in popularizing the field. His wide-ranging interests and accomplishments make Clarkson a versatile figure in the public eye.
