Jimmy Carr is reportedly in discussions with BBC bosses to host a reboot of Top Gear, four years after the show was shelved following Freddie Flintoff's crash. The comedian is said to be the front-runner to lead a new-look Top Gear, with BBC Studios working on plans for a possible return next year. A source told The Sun that bosses see Jimmy as the 'ideal host' to bring the show back, with casting reportedly underway for other members of the presenting team.
