Biography

Jeremy Clarkson began his career as a local journalist in northern England before becoming a presenter of the original Top Gear in 1988. In 2002, he and producer Andy Wilman devised the programme's relaunched format. Clarkson presented it alongside Richard Hammond and James May, among others, and later joined Hammond and May on The Grand Tour.

Alongside his television work, Clarkson writes weekly columns for The Sunday Times and The Sun and has written numerous books, primarily about cars. His programmes have also covered history and engineering. His opinionated, humorous style and controversial statements have attracted both a substantial following and criticism.

Since 2019, Clarkson has farmed at Diddly Squat Farm, the setting for Clarkson's Farm. He also hosts the quiz show Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?
