With the release of Grand Tour Season 4 slowly approaching, we thought it would be appropriate to share this Jeremy Clarkson's interview that was broadcast in 2006.
Jeremy Clarkson walks us through his thoughts on climate change, the policies that surround gun rentals in the USA and Richard Hammonds' brain-damaging car accident.
ORIGINAL BROADCAST DATE: 24 November 2006
Jonathan Ross presents an entertaining show featuring comedy, celebrity chat, and the latest music

My favourite Clarkson quote "They call a liquid gas"
Not knowing it's short for gasoline
@@cielledoux3805 you must be a stand up comedian. 🤦♂️
@Jon tbh I think he knows what it's short for but he's either making a joke or saying they should just call it gasoline instead of just gas
@Jon that's the point
@Jon he's clearly not being 100% serious when he say those things. There's a difference between actually thinking that way and saying things like that to make people laugh, which is what they did by the way. Like at the beginning, the host made fun of how Jeremy looks, he was clearly just joking around, but at the same time he was saying some offensive things. Same thing with Jeremy when he say those things. Just relax about it and learn how to laugh at yourself, holy shit people.
No matter when you see this, Hammond will be recovering from an accident.
What's that mean?
@@wildock_no_169 Hammond had a life threating injury from a crash around the time of the interview.
he crashed in a rimac
@@Manhattan_project.420 Nope, in jet car

I'm from America and I grew up watching Top Gear. We like him because he doesn't bow down to other people and try to be fake and politically correct

Australia is much the same , a quick tip if anyone goes there is , when they ask " do you have any criminal convictions " is to answer " why , do I still need one ? " , they didn't laugh either .

If you're going on holiday, just lie. They don't check every single person who applies for a visa to go chill out for a few weeks. If you tell the truth, there's paperwork. You gotta send off for a copy of your police certificate, and you gotta write an explanation of what you did and why you did it, and such.

For crying out loud I’m French and Jeremy throws quite a lot in our faces but I love his humour. If you take it personally you’re just too thick
Or incredibly insecure and thin skinned.
You're French. You don't have any choice but to take it.

Marvin Montgomery You are a maggot.
Clarkson attacks everyone even the English. It is his sense of humor
that just reminded me of jerry sadowitz "I'm not rasist I just hate everyone" lmao
Alan Hamilton LOL
He does it to make people laugh, his Top Gear adventures, he gets genuinely sentimental exploring other countries and cultures. People need to learn to distinguish between entertainment and real person.
No one is safe from Clarkson.

Carefree and healthy are two entirely independent things.
I love Jeremy Clarkson. Because he is the last person on Earth who doesn’t care if he offends anyone and that’s why he’s so funny
The great thing about Clarkson is that he doesn't appear to think his ridiculous thoughts matter enough to be censored, and they certainly don't matter enough to be upset about.
Zlatan
@@temelerdinch528 He's not racist tho
Switch why say stupid and offensive things for ! He is racist as the man needs to get a life .
@@temelerdinch528 Because that's the humour that he likes, humour & offence is subjective. He makes fun of all groups of people (he's actually said that himself in a episode of the Grand Tour), he doesn't give a shit if they're "in power", "oppressed" or what not. He even makes fun of himself.
Clarkson once said "the Americas really do have an irony inefficiency" and it's true
Too much german immigration
Man, I miss the early 2000's. Wish I could go back in time
dudewtf1776 if you are in UK don’t worry. After Brexit just wait another 30 years and you will be back in the early 2000’s.
Yay for Brexit! Bring it on
Well hopefully we can back further than that to the years when we actually manufactured things in this country...

Top Gear was a show during a time in TV history when people knew how to take a joke and wasn’t sensitive about every little thing said......thanks Mr Clarkson for keeping it 100
U like handegg lol
We now need a giant tissue to wipe away the tears of a childish society that is offended by the simplest of things. Where are the adults, like Clarkson?
2006 is is just 13 years ago ...seems very short time ...but when compering 2006 with 2019 seems like 100 years apart ...
Rubbish, 2006 was just yesterday.

Ann Other we truly are living in the worst of times
Lived in a 3rd world country in 2012 for a few years, how things changed when got back! Everyone so brainwashed by the status quo
I think people don’t realize how humble Jeremy Clarkson really is, he’s he says what he feels but in a humorous way. When John asks how many viewers his show has and he says 350, and then thousand, and then he says million and John doesn’t realize, somebody else would’ve wanted to make sure that they got the 350 million part in so that they could brag, but he just moved on. He has even said his whole career is based in luck and he just got lucky. And I’m saying this as an American. I love the guy.
For a people that colonised much of the world, you’d be surprised how self-deprecating the English are.
@@user-60267 HA! That's quote of the week for me! Hilariously brilliant , though perhaps unintentional.

@Jim Elliott Chu hai.
I like how he is now with the grand tour. Much more brash and outspoken than when he was with the BBC
13 years ago this was broadcasted. People can change their opinions
But now loves Americans
@@phodge9985 Yeah no shit, but like, I was just pointing it out
And he actually cares about the environment now
@David Cat The bulk of the Clarkson Top Gear years existed in an era when it was socially acceptable to be less politically correct. Amazon gives them essentially carte blanche, something BBC funded with public money and subjected to British broadcasting regulations could not really do
I’m American and I’ve always liked Clarkson as he’s real. He doesn’t give 2 shits who he offends.
“Jewemy”
Is he?
Ah I see you have picked up on a wossyism

AS AN AMERICAN I really enjoy this content and miss the real top gear! Even if he poked fun at my corvettes leaf springs!
One of his biggest fan, one of the reasons why I watched Top Gear and now The Grand Tour.. and yeah I'm American !
I'm American and absolutely love the Brits and Clarkson, in particular. He tells it like it is and backs it up.
I can't imagine having an interview like this today without those cringe worthy virtue signalling activists making a fuss about it. Feels kinda good looking back into days when "free speech" existed in its real sense and people could speak without being cancelled.
2006, wow. Feels like yesturday and both of these over night turned 100!
We Dutch won't drown, we'll float. We all float down here. And when you're down here with us; you'll float too! Beep-beep! 🎈
Building dams in the sewers xD
S K 👍🏽
Well Jeremy will float with that gut of his😂
Watching this 14 years later.
Funny thing, I'm American, and Jeremy Clarkson's humor is hilarious, of all honesty, I offend my people too. I always make jokes about all the pickup trucks and the obesity. I'll admit it we have problems, but don't we all? Screw being politically correct!
Yes, but somebody joking about me living in the hills, killing deer and having a few acres of pickup trucks isn't quite that funny when in all actuality I do. It's neither absurd or untrue so where's the funny part? That's like pointing out the color of a green army vehicle and uncontrollably cackling abut it.
@ the funny part is the accent, and what they say about small cars, "I can put it in the back with my pickup truck", you would have to watch Regular Car Reviews to understand the most of it.
@@eaubfelangy8132 I suppose.
Eaub Felangy but we can fit some of those cars in the back of our trucks... Lol I'm not picking at you but my job would be impossible without the pickup. Farmers need off-road capability, towing capacity, and easy access to things they are transporting to and from jobsites. Matthew has a point where something being normal somewhere is funny somewhere else. We should all love and laugh at the inconsistencies amongst our species.
Scooby Doo Yeah farmers need pickups bla bla bla... The vast majority of trucks are owned by regular people in the city to go for grocery shopping or driving to school. That‘s why we make fun of the whole American truck thing. We all get that pickups are very useful for certain professions, but like 99% of them are completely useless cause the owners just want a big fat car, they probably never do anything in life that actually requires a truck. In the US alone, every 54 seconds a F150 gets sold. Now compare that to the number of farmers and other people who actually need them. It‘s absolutely ridiculous to watch the soccer mums struggling with their trucks at Walmart because they desperately wanted a house on wheels instead of a proper car. That‘s what the rest of the world is laughing about. Got it now?
I appreciate this man and his honesty. If anyone ever tries to cancel him, it'll be one of the funniest fails to happen in a long time
Regardless, we love Clarkson on Top Gear...phenomenal host.
He recalled the Dutch destroyed the English Navy (Medway) and took Surinam from the English. Actually they towed the English flagship "HMS Royal Charles" to Amsterdam and turned it into a tourist attraction.
Jeremy is a legend , says it outright, no eggshells with him..hahaha
When they were talking about DVDs, buying DVDs at Christmas and just seeing a young Jeremy Clarkson it made me very nostalgic 😌.
Love seeing these two together, they are actually very good friends in real life....Apparently.
I don’t blame him for disliking America, I’m American and I don’t like a lot of things about my country.
Sameee
@Adrish Kar true
I've always been a fan of Jeremy Clarkson, and as an American I agree with what he says about this land and such
don't think so!
@@jakedtreble7055 it's okay white boy, the system always catered to your kind, Jezza knows what's up
I know he jokes about America but it's mainly for entertainment. The great thing about Clarksons humour is he doesn't always believe what he says. Take everything he says with a pinch of salt. He is well travelled and likes different cultures. He isn't the stuffy Brit people think he is. It's an act of sorts. He plays up being hapless and rude.
The interviewer looks like a Nicolas Cage's cousin 😬
Nicolas Cage wishes he was Jonathan Ross
The interviewer? You know who Nicolas Cage is but not Jonathan Ross
Nick Cage's British cousin
I love him. Greetings from Germany!!!!!
So open and honest I love it 😂😂
Jeremy Clarkson is one of the funniest people on TV without a doubt.
Have you seen him on Rochdale, a holiday in Rochdale. That is hillarious.
We Americans are proud that the Hamster is one of us.
Thats why we Aussies appreciate Jeremy's individuality
What’s the difference between an American and a yoghurt? A yoghurt has a culture.
OOOOOOOOOOooooooooohhhhhhh!!
JAG that’s not hard when the Yanks only joined in at the end spending years eating & having sex while the men were fighting
JAG lolz 😂 I’m not sure if “IKE,” is a reference to General Eisenhower or if it stands for something ? But technically, considering Ike Eisenhower was one of the masterminds behind the Normandy landings and and liberation of Nazi Europe, it’s sort of correct. 🙀😬🤭🤫Churchill, Monty and Eden and men like that are probably spinning in their graves at my saying that and I’m a stiff ass Brit too! 🤐😖😣😖
@JAG You sold weapons to both sides in both world wars. And if you think America actually did fuck all in WW1 you are clearly delusional.
@JAG I read your comment and I hear Team America - World Police in my head. 🤣
We love you Jeremy keep up the good work mate
andon angel i bet hes changed his mind with all the acid and knife attacks fuck britain at least i can say there is only 2 genders and not get arrested
There are only two genders...
I’m with Clarkson on this, he is the only celeb that hasn’t gone homosexual
Actually people are saying that he frequents the West End looking for rent boys after midnight.
Dont know..i think hes up trumps arse if you ask me...
Just because he turned you down doesn't give you the right to speculate. He's just not that into you.
Matthew Fogarty What are you talking about?
How is that true or even relevant?
Funny, when I went to England customs asked me he exact same thing. Work or pleasure. I answered honestly, work, and oh was that a mistake. Same question in every country I’ve gone to. (Only about 6 but the rest were for mostly pleasure)
Don't tell the English you're there for pleasure - they'll laugh.
We finally came out with a Corvette he can't complain about.
Topp Gear liked the C7 to be fair
only took 100 years to build a good one. congrats
Just watch us 😂😂
*MiD lIfe CrIsIs mObILe*
He's a British patriot - so what? Kudos to him. If more Brits were like him, the UK would be a better place.
Jeremy loves cars and calls them for what they are. I learned the word rubbish it was the popular word whenever he tested American cars🤣
looks like this is recorded in the 80's lol. I thought this clip was from a couple years ago.. ow... it was... 😏. I quite like Jonathan Ross, but it shows how much content he has...

@Alex N sounds like Clarkson

Their guns, their rules. That's called freedom.
@@deezynar That is not how freedom works
People who rent guns out can and should be picky about who they rent them to. Not saying that the no anti-war or anti-Bush is a criteria I agree with, but the principle of the owners having a say in who rents from them doesn’t seem unreasonable. And there isn’t just one place in the whole country to rent from and there is no actual law about what statements a movie can make. The first amendment should guarantee that. This is just an anecdote and could even be partially made up just for humor. I think Clarkson likes to say things to provoke people and get a reaction. You might be hearing just the reaction part of the anecdote and not what Jeremy said to the person to provoke it. Or it could have been just a joke. Plenty of movies have used rented guns to make anti-war statements. Probably most anti-war movies have. So this just doesn’t sound 100% legit to me. I love him, but I wouldn’t recommend you learn about other cultures solely from Jeremy Clarkson. It’s just his style of humor.
@@God-mb8wi Really? You think freedom is being forced to rent things to people who are creating a message that is antithetical to your own personal values? The supreme court of the United States has decided on this and found in favor of the business.
@@deezynar No, not that. Your statement, what you say--doesn't comply with the idea of freedom. It's in an entirely different genre of values. It has nothing to do with freedom is what I'm saying. I don't know why you intrinsically linked them. For instance: fascists could say, "Our guns, our rules"--that wouldn't be freedom. Okay, so a well-meaning altruist says "my gun, my rules", that may be in-line with values emphasizing freedom, but it's still disconnected. It's very hard to explain, it's a linguistic argument.
I'm a massive Jeremy Clarkson fan. I agree with him on just about everything. Thank you.

It's amazing how far electric vehicles have come in the last 13 years. I meant the Grand Tour now features them.

Loved the bit when he spoke about his views on the environment and ecomentalists. Completely agree!
Dunning-Kruger effect springs to mind with you

@@callum1131 Or what I replied could be true.
@@RobRandomVids It was true for 2006, however not true anymore. With a lot of countries now generating a third of their power from Carbon-Neutral sources, it's more efficient to drive electric now in a lot of countries.
@@ffinianhe See, I agree that clean energy is a good thing and I'm aware that it's being produced more and more to power electric cars. However, I don't think electric cars are the way forward, or entirely zero emission.

Now? That thing is like 7 years old
So fucking what!!! go and correct someone else
It's still a no!
McLaren still has an internal combustion engine, but principle stands tho. The Rimac is basically insane
I love America and I like Clarkson too. Have always loved his non politically correct attitude, which is why BBC got rid of him.
He is so hysterically funny, and so British!!! Loved him for years!!!
"Have you ever considered a performance electric car" An idea that felt outlandish back then is well grounded in reality today. It's a marvel how far we've come since the last decade
FPSpammers It’s true, electric cars already outperform ICE cars in most ways, and will in every way in five years’ time. The new electric 3 series BMW (I’m not much a fan of BMW’s, just saying) outperforms all other 3 series except the M3 (which I suspect has more to do with de-tuning the electric version) and has a longer range than most petrol cars in its class. That being said, the lack of infrastructure and electrical generating capacity still poses a major barrier to widespread adoption of electric vehicles in most places.
He's still not into them. Notice it's always Hammond that test drives the electrics, unless it's to make fun of them.
@@andrewh.4186 not much but he did admit to being more interested in watching formula E over 1. However that's probably more to do with formula 1 being boring than him liking electrics lol
Electric cars are soooooo boring and nothing beats the senna around a track.
Electric cars are fast in a straight line, they're shit compared to something like a Lotus yet they cost far more
