The talks regarding LeBlanc’s role on “Top Gear” come as the show, once one of the BBC’s biggest hits, struggles in the ratings. Britain’s Sun tabloid, citing unnamed sources, also reported that LeBlanc was unhappy with his co-host Chris Evans and that he threatened to walk away from the show unless Evans is fired.
