A new trailer for season 23 of Top Gear has been released, and boy does co-host Matt LeBlanc look like he's having a good time!
In the 40-second teaser, the Friends alum
can be seen taking an Ariel Nomad on a wild trek in Morocco -- once he
finally figured out how to get into the orange off-roading vehicle!
"This is too fun!" LeBlanc can be heard yelling as
he races through the desert and literally eats dust. Check out the full
video:
ET previously reported that LeBlanc joined the series this year. “As a car nut and a massive fan of Top Gear, I'm honored and excited to be a part of this iconic show's new chapter," LeBlanc said in a statement in February.
The 48-year-old actor was a fan of the show even
before he scored the co-hosting gig and currently holds the title for
the fastest-ever celebrity lap on the famous Top Gear track.
LeBlanc and Chris Evans replaced former hosts
Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond and James May. Clarkson's contract was
not renewed following a verbal and physical altercation with one of the
show's producers in 2015, and Hammond and May left the series soon
after.
Rumors surfaced earlier this month that LeBlanc
and Evans weren't getting along, but both took to Twitter to deny that
they are "at war" with each other. "I'm at war with @achrisevans? That's
funny, I thought we were pals," LeBlanc mused, with Evans issuing his
own similar quip.
And frankly, the two have posted some pretty sweet photos from their incredible shooting locales, including the Episodes star's shout-out to Ireland.
The new season of Top Gear airs in May on BBC America.
