Adam Carolla, Tanner Foust and Eric Stromer — these three will be hosting the US version of every piston head’s favorite TV show, Top Gear. In truth, we’ve known about Adam and Tanner since 1997 (feels that way) but the BBC and NBC were very tight lipped about former soap opera heart throb and current DIY TV-man Stromer. No word on who’s playing the Stig, natch. Bios of all three hosts after the jump.

Adam Carolla
Television and radio personality Adam Carolla is host of the daily, nationally-syndicated radio program “The Adam Carolla Show,” based out of Los Angeles’ KLSX 97.1/ FREE FM. With partners Jimmy Kimmel and Daniel Kellison, Carolla created Jackhole Industries where he produced and starred in two hit Comedy Central shows, “The Man Show” and “Crank Yankers.” Carolla also co-hosted the nationally-syndicated radio program “Loveline” with Dr. Drew Pinsky for 10 years, as well as its TV version on MTV. Carolla also recently wrote and starred in the independent, award-winning feature film, “The Hammer.” In season six of “Dancing with the Stars,” Adam became the first ever contestant to complete a Paso Doble on a unicycle. Carolla is an avid car collector and owns several classic collectible Lamborghinis, Maseratis, two Ferraris and an Audi S4.

Tanner Foust
Tanner Foust is a winning competitor in rally, drift, ice racing and time attack with a proven track record of multiple podium placements including the 2007 X Games Rally Champion and 2007 Formula Drift Pro Drift Champion. His varied race experience includes multiple seasons of open wheel competition, the Pikes Peak Hill Climb (2002 – 2004), five Ice Racing championships and the 2005 PGT Rally Championship. He also holds class lap records at numerous U.S. road courses in Time Attack. In addition, Foust is a talented stunt driver, credited in such films as The Dukes of Hazard, “The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift” and “The Bourne Ultimatum.” Foust also hosted “Supercars Exposed” for the SPEED channel.

Eric Stromer
Eric Stromer, host of the HGTV show “Over Your Head,” started life in construction and remodeling houses after a short acting career as a soap opera hunk was abruptly ended by a Styrofoam boulder on the set of “Santa Barbara.” For 20 years he ran a successful building company before becoming the face of HGTV’s hit show. He’s a regular on Adam Carolla’s nationally-syndicated radio show giving out construction advice, and also appears on TLC’s “Clean Sweep,” NBC’s “Three Wishes” and is a special correspondent for “The Insider.” Stromer prefers his Camry hybrid.
