At the time, it was thought that Carolla would be the only one of the original three cast members from the pilot to make the reborn series.

What gives?<\/p>\n<p>Apparently, Carolla has a pilot sitcom that he&#8217;s currently taping for NBC, and the Peacock wouldn&#8217;t let the funny man away long enough to join <em>History&#8217;s<\/em> Top Gear USA. Sad for all, as reports from those who attended the taping of the NBC pilot almost universally praised Carolla&#8217;s performance on the show.<\/p>\n<p>Perhaps the most disappointed of all is Carolla himself, who openly dishes on the May 17 edition of his CarCast that he hopes his NBC sitcom is canceled so he can rejoin <em>Top Gear<\/em>.
