In the lingo of The Daily Show Kristen's never been a correspondent (who
reports a story in front of a green screen or in a pre-taped remote), but

I would imagine that niether the new Amazon show nor the new BBC version of
Top Gear will use The Stig. For one thing, the concept will be (c) BBC, and
