I know a girl who worked on Top Gear for over 10 years. Clarkson is apparently how he appears - sexist, racist, homophobic arrogant nob. .
Of course he is, that is why he slips up so often and drops himself in it. It is not possible to pretend to be something you are not all the time, especially when your ego makes you think that everyone wants to listen to you. This is why he comes out with ludicrous soundbites like his offensive comments about public sector workers and oriental persons on bridges.
