This is a list of Presenters in descending order by number of total appearances in both major incarnations of the show, with bold text indicating a main host and italics indicating a current host. It should be noted that this list does not include compilation shows, only the seasonal episodes recognised in official sources, all six episodes of James May's Cars of the People (which are considered as Top Gear specials outside the UK), in addition to home video releases, and finally the standalone Polar, Bond Car, Sydney Festival and Evening specials. This also does not include home videos not released under the Top Gear name i.e. Jeremy Clarkson's independently produced home video series. Only hosts with at least two episode credits to their name are included on this list.
