James May is a British television presenter, journalist, and writer, best known as the co-host of the popular motoring show Top Gear. He was born on January 16, 1963, in Bristol, England. May began his career as a print journalist, writing for several UK publications before making the transition to television. He joined the car show in 2003, where he quickly became known for his dry wit and knowledge of all things motoring.
May’s popularity on Top Gear led to him becoming one of the most recognizable faces in the world of television and motoring. He is known for his humorous and understated approach to presenting, as well as his encyclopaedic knowledge of cars and motoring history.
In 2015, following the departure of fellow Top Gear co-host Jeremy Clarkson, May joined with Clarkson and Richard Hammond to launch a new motoring show called The Grand Tour, which premiered on Amazon Prime Video in 2016.
In addition to his work on Top Gear and The Grand Tour, May has also presented several other television shows, including James May’s Toy Stories and James May: Our Man in Japan. He is known for his love of all things mechanical, his passion for technology, and his quirky sense of humour.
