Jeremy Clarkson will be making a comeback on BBC just a month after being fired from 'Top Gear'.

The BBC network has decided to allow the famous American presenter to go on air with their new show, 'Have I Got News For You' that will be telecasted on BBC2 from April 24, the Mirror reported.

A spokeswoman of BBC said that the contract of the 54-year-old broadcaster has not been renewed on his last show, but also wasn't banned from appearing on the channel.

Clarkson was fired by the UK broadcaster a few weeks ago after he physically assaulted 'Top Gear's Irish producer Oisin Tymon over food.
