According to James May, participating in The Grand Tour without Jeremy Clarkson is not an option.

So, Is This a Goodbye?

Following his contentious article about Meghan Markle, it was previously reported that Clarkson was “parting ways” with Prime Video.

According to sources cited by Variety, the streamer would no longer be working with Clarkson beyond seasons of The Grand Tour and Clarkson’s Farm that had already been commissioned.

Prior to the article being taken down from the Sun’s website and the host issuing a formal public apology, Clarkson had made reference to the “shame” scene in Game of Thrones.

Now, May declared that he would not want the storied motor mouth to disappear from the series.

Top Gear Trio is TRIO

“I don’t think anybody would want to see it,” May confessed, “I don’t think they’d want to see any two of us try and carry on the thing that the three of us are known for together.”

The TV celebrity said it would be doubtful and dashed fans’ hopes when questioned about the possibility of the show switching platforms.

“I doubt it. To be honest, I think the really difficult bit in TV, films, showbiz, you know, all that stuff is, is knowing when to stop. And most people don’t.

“Most people keep going until they fly into a cliff….what you should try and do is land it and walk away. And I hope we can do that.”

He added, in jest, that the cast was “knocking on a bit” and that quitting now would be better than later. If so, we are in the lead.

It supports the presenter’s remarks that the series is reaching its “natural end.”

Recently, he spoke with Radio Times: “No one has told us to go away. It’s reaching its natural end, like parties do. There comes a point at 4am when it is over.”

There are still a few more road excursions left for the driving three even though The Grand Tour may be coming to an end.

There’s Still Hope for Fans

The Grand Tour: Eurocrash, which will be released on June 16, will reunite Clarkson, May, and Hammond as they set out on a brand-new journey through Eastern Europe.

The trio travels the 1,400 miles from Gdansk, Poland, through Slovakia, Hungary, and Slovenia.

As if that weren’t challenging enough, the presenters’, hmm, less than ideal vehicles make their route even more challenging; James May admitted that it was his “worst car” by “miles and miles.”

Intense tasks are also taken on by the trio, including racing Soviet-era F1 vehicles, touring the prison camp made famous by The Great Escape, and changing gears in an epic car pursuit to dodge the world’s deadliest archers.

The Prime Video special, one of the hosts’ last appearances on television, is a must-see for car enthusiasts and others who like to take things slowly.

Starting on June 16, you can watch The Grand Tour: Eurocrash on Prime Video.

One half of Rockstar Games’ fanbase appears to be patiently awaiting information about Grand Theft Auto VI, while the other half is fervently requesting more Red Dead Redemption material, notably a remake of the first game.

We Love Actors who Loved their Job!

The announcement that Rob Wiethoff would be pleased to reprise his part for Red Dead Redemption 3 during a podcast interview recently drove fans into a frenzy. Wiethoff is the voice actor for fan-favorite Red Dead Redemption protagonist, John Marston.

Rob Wiethoff is an American actor who gained immense recognition for his portrayal of John Marston in the critically acclaimed video game “Red Dead Redemption.”

Wiethoff’s performance breathed life into the complex and tormented character, capturing the essence of Marston’s rugged charm and inner conflicts. His ability to convey a range of emotions, from stoicism to vulnerability, added depth to the game’s narrative.

Wiethoff’s portrayal of John Marston remains highly regarded, cementing his status as an exceptional talent in the realm of video game voice acting.

Oh Remake, Here We Come!

Wiethoff has now shown a desire to collaborate with Rockstar Games once more on a remake of the first Red Dead Redemption. Red Dead Redemption 2 was launched in 2018 as a prequel/sequel to the 2010 release of the original game, which was a tremendous commercial success.

Wiethoff was asked about his thoughts on returning for another installment in the Red Dead Redemption series during an interview with the Dan Allen Gaming podcast. The voice actor responded, “I would love for it to happen… I would love an opportunity to work with [Rockstar Games] again, whether it be remastering something or something totally different.

“I don’t know. I can’t really say enough good things about Rockstar. If they do that, great, that would be awesome.”

It’s not completely impossible that the first game will be remastered, as Rockstar did with Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy- The Definitive Edition, which remastered GTA III, GTA: Vice City, and GTA: San Andreas despite receiving harsh criticism for the remaster’s quality.

A remake of Grand Theft Auto IV was also purportedly in the works, however it’s thought that project was abandoned before it even started.

If the studio decided to reboot Red Dead Redemption, they would have to perform at the top of their game or risk the wrath of a legion of devoted fans who would defend the franchise to the last end.

Unfortunately, it might be some time before we see a Red Dead Redemption 3 or remake because Rockstar is putting all of their attention into GTA VI, which is thought to be their greatest game to date.

If rumors are to be believed, it will have a very sizable open world with a number of important locales, as well as a number of brand-new gameplay elements that will make it truly distinctive. Rockstar Games’ studio is aiming for “perfection” with the future game, according to the CEO of the company that publishes Rockstar Games, Take-Two Interactive.

Spencer, played by Jerry Trainor as Carly’s elder brother, is a character you may be familiar with if you watched iCarly. 

iCarly comeback

“iCarly” is a beloved Nickelodeon show that originally aired from 2007 to 2012. It follows the lives of Carly Shay and her friends Sam and Freddie, who create their own web show. The series is known for its humor, relatable characters, and its impact on teenage internet culture.

Along with Miranda Cosgrove as Carly and Jennette McCurdy as Sam, who played Carly’s best friend, Jerry Trainor was one of the primary characters.

Awful Trauma

Miranda and Jerry made a comeback for the iCarly revival, however Jennette did not. In her heartfelt and unvarnished memoir, I’m Glad My Mom Died, Jennette detailed the alleged “emotional abuse” she allegedly suffered at the hands of Nickelodeon.

 “My whole childhood and adolescence were very exploited,” Jennette told the New York Times. 

“It still gives my nervous system a reaction to say it. There were cases where people had the best intentions and maybe didn’t know what they were doing. And also cases where they did — they knew exactly what they were doing.” Jennette mentioned “the Creator,” someone massaged her shoulders without her permission and prodded her to drink.

In a New York Times interview conducted at the time of the memoir’s publication, Miranda discussed the book. 

“When you’re young, you’re so in your own head. You can’t imagine that people around you are having much harder struggles. You don’t expect things like that from the person in the room who’s making everyone laugh.”

More Like a Brother

Jerry recently shared his opinions on the memoir for the first time in an interview with E! News.

“I read it immediately,” he said.

“It’s heartbreaking, but it’s also brilliant and funny. I felt a lot of pride for her being able to speak her truth,” Jerry added.

“I talked with her about it — and I said exactly that,” he said. “She’s very strong and very perceptive, and you can see it in the writing how smart she is.”

He continued, “It’s stuff she’s going to deal with for her whole life, but she’s amazing. She’s using it, and she’s growing stronger because of it.”

Jerry Trainor is an American actor and comedian, known for his versatile performances and charismatic presence. Born on January 21, 1977, in San Diego, California, Trainor began his acting career in the late 1990s, appearing in various television shows and films.

However, he gained widespread recognition and became a household name for his role as Spencer Shay in the hit Nickelodeon series “iCarly” (2007-2012).

Trainor’s portrayal of the eccentric and lovable older brother of Carly Shay, played by Miranda Cosgrove, endeared him to audiences of all ages.

With his impeccable comedic timing and genuine charm, Trainor has established himself as a talented and beloved figure in the entertainment industry.

His ability to effortlessly switch between hilarious slapstick humor and heartfelt emotional moments has made him a fan favorite, and his contributions to the world of television have left an indelible mark.
