Evel Knievel vs Richard Hammond: The BBC Christmas Special.
Shortly before his death, Evel Knievel was saluted by 'Top Gear' presenter Richard Hammond in a BBC2 Christmas special. The 60-minute television program "Richard Hammond Meets Evel Knievel" aired on December 23, 2007, less than a month after Evel died.
The show was filmed in July 2007 around the annual "Evel Knievel Days" festival in his old home town of Butte, Montana. Knievel was clearly in severely declining health, but he still displayed the same piss and vinegar that he had his entire career.
