I want to know what everyone really thinks about Jezza. Because the more I think about his accomplishments, the more I respect him. And seeing him say goodbye at the season 3 finale and the show finale, he is obviously the most emotional about this. Hammond and May have done this as a job for a long time. But for Clarkson it's his passion child, his life's work.

I think his TV personality hides a lot of who he really is. Like we see how funny he is, and often times hard-headed, but we do not see everything he does behind the scenes. As far as I know, he has been doing a lot of the writing, editing, and production work for a long time. It seems like the shows have been lead by his creative vision this whole time. Of course they have an excellent team, but it seems like he is the one they all look up to. And when you realize just how much he is responsible for, it's hard to see him as anything less than a creative genius.

Obviously Hammond and May are each incredible characters in their own right, and we could have a whole discuss as to why they are so special and successful. I just feel like Clarkson does not get the respect he deserves for his work. So what do you guys think about that? Agree or disagree? Do you have any insight as to the behind-the-scenes dynamic?
