Wednesday Link-Off: The Fool or the Fool Who Follows Him

Keep your eyes open and don’t believe anything that happens today. It’s April Fools’ Day which means that you’re likely to see or be victim to a prank or bad joke or two. I’m working on something but I’m not holding out hope that it’ll go well. Call me a terrible person but I’m hoping that a coworker’s attempted prank doesn’t go well today if only because it’s terribly unoriginal and generic.

Anyway, today is Wednesday which means that it’s time for the links. Here’s Christina Hendricks.

It’s time for more NewsRadio. This time, it’s an oral history. (Uproxx)

Not only is Clarkson out by Hammond and May have let their BBC contracts expire without a renewal. (MotorTorque)

Meanwhile, the BBC and Clarkson have made some amends. Rather than take massive losses on their Top Gear Live shows by cancelling them, the BBC has pulled Top Gear branding but allowing the shows to continue as Clarkson, Hammond and May Live. (BBC News)

In a show of many highlights, one of the best WrestleMania moments was Brock Lesnar’s “suplex city, bitch.”

 

While some people are happy to see Jeremy Clarkson go, Toyota UK put together a highlight reel of all of Clarkson and Toyota’s best moments on the show.
