SPEED Goes With "Last Comic" Bodden For New Show

Motor sports cable net SPEED has tapped Alonzo Bodden, winner of "Last Comic Standing 3," to host "101 Cars You Must Drive," a new series set for a June rollout. The channel has ordered up ten 30-minute episodes, all in high definition. Bodden, the former jet mechanic, "knows his way around cars," the net says and will take a "comedic look" at some "famous and not-so-famous" automobiles.

"It's funny how big our cars [are] and how slowly we drive them," Bodden notes. Compared to "Europe or Japan, we love our big cars. Compared to Germany and Italy and other countries, we have better roads with lower speed limits." Of course, he adds, "that's probably good because we're putting on make-up while on the cell phone, and that's not good at 140 miles-per-hour."
