End of the week before last, Evans was in Pasadena for the winter Television Critics Association press tour promoting TG. Variety said his long talk on his career and TG was occasionally "self-deprecating" but this more detailed review has a different take on it:

Some revealing snippets in there I think, particularly that he wants to make the car "definitely the star" again, whilst at the same time stating that TG is the "biggest talk show of all time".
He would say that of course as it's the guy's only on-camera forte (he reportedly wants more A-listers on the show: http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/sho...ers.html). These two priorities seem a little at odds to me as personally, as I always found the Clarkson love-in with the celeb of the week the weakest part of the recent TG's. (How many bloody "low-risk" - read low viewer interest - interview show's do we need for a celeb to plug their latest book/movie/cd?!) I think it would be a mistake to let that slot expand on the Evans TG.
For the mo, TG is still in California with Evans having a spot of bother on the track:
