Jeremy Clarkson was one of the most recognizable faces of BBC before getting unceremoniously fired from Top Gear. In 2015, Clarkson was suspended after getting into a fight with one of the show’s producers. Soon after the suspension, he was fired and the show went on with Matt LeBlanc as the host.

Clarkson survived the break-up, taking his talents to Amazon, where he hosts The Grand Tour. He even brought his Top Gear co-host to the house of Prime with him. For three seasons and 36 episodes of The Grand Tour, Amazon reportedly paid $185 million!
