3. Steve Coogan
Shortly following the news of Jeremy Clarkson being fired, an online petition – which now has over 34 thousand signatures – for Steve Coogan’s radio host caricature Alan Partridge to become the next host which honestly isn’t a bad shout and we’d totally be down for watching this. The petition’s description read:
“Alan has a strong track record for broadcast presenting, from his relaxed professionalism with guests on BBC chat show ‘Knowing Me Knowing You’ to his effortless banter on his talk shows at Radio Norwich. He has good experience with motoring TV, after his brilliant work on ‘Crash! Bang! Wallop! (What a video)’. His work as sports presenter on news programme ‘The Day Today’ also shows off his ability to talk about and inform on a range of topics.
We believe this diversity of experience and his noted passion for cars puts Alan in great stead to take over as chief presenter after Clarkson’s successful tenure. Mr Partridge is both capable of retaining what has made the show great over the years and adding a new and vital reenergised flavour to the show.”
