The former hosts of the BBC’s popular “Top Gear” program have signed up to present a new car show for broadcaster Amazon Prime. Amazon said Thursday that Jeremy Clarkson, James May and Richard Hammond have committed to three series of the show, with the first to be broadcast in 2016. Clarkson was fired in March after he punched a producer during an off-set altercation. “Top Gear” has won a huge global following with its mix of car tips, driving stunts and jokey banter. The BBC says the show will continue with new hosts.
