In 2018, Jeremy became the host of Who Wants To Be a Millionaire.
Viewers will soon have new episodes to enjoy - as the beloved game show has been renewed for another series.
In addition, Millionaire will be returning to ITV and ITVX this autumn, with five new episodes.
Contestants take part hoping to win a life-changing £1 million jackpot.
To help them along the way, they have four lifelines - Ask the Audience, 50/50, Phone A Friend and Ask the Host.
A recent episode saw Jeremy left stunned as he estimated one contestant lost "the biggest amount of money in Millionaire history".
University Challenge alum Nicholas Bennett, from West Hampstead, breezed through several questions with relative ease.
He soon faced the £1 million jackpot question - with the benefit of having two lifelines intact.
Jeremy asked him: "Which of these words, each coined by a famous writer, was derived from the tale of of a fairytale about three princes?"
Meanwhile, the options were A) Pandemonium, B) Serendipity, C) Utopia and D) Yahoo.
Who Wants To Be A Millionaire's Jeremy Clarkson left stunned as contestant makes 'show history'
Nicholas had an early hunch that it may be Yahoo but wasn't certain.
He opted to use his Ask the Host lifeline, only for Jeremy to also be uncertain.
After using Phone A Friend, he selected Yahoo - only to learn the right answer was Serendipity.
Elsewhere, Jeremy sold his giant new £85,000 Lamborghini tractor - just months after buying it for Diddly Squat Farm.
The hit Prime Video documentary follows Jeremy running his farm in the Cotswolds - helped by a memorable supporting cast.
He offloaded the tractor at an auction and told others it had been dogged by numerous electrical problems.
Who has won the jackpot on Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?
Who Wants to Be a Millionaire has offered hundreds of hopeful contestants the chance to become millionaires, but there has only been a handful of lucky winners.
There have only been five real winners so far on the show as Charles Ingram, who was the third winner of Who Wants To Be A Millionaire? in 2001, had his claim to the prize thrown out because of cheating allegations.
The official winners are...
Judith Keppel
In 2000, garden designer Judith Keppel made quiz show history as she became the first ever winner of Who Wants To Be A Millionaire. Judith is also the only woman ever to have won the million-pound prize.
David Edwards
Former physics teacher David became the second contestant to win the top prize in April 2001. Following his success, Edwards went on to compete in both series of Are You an Egghead? in 2008 and 2009.
Robert Brydges
Oxford-educated banker Robert became the third Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? champion when he won the quiz show several moths after David in 2001. Robert has stayed out of the limelight since his win.
Pat Gibson
World champion Irish quiz player Pat won the show in 2004. Amazingly Pat had TWO of his lifelines still available for his final question, something no other winner has managed.
Ingram Wilcox
Ingram came close to losing on Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? in 2006 as he had used all his lifelines up at the £32,000 mark, but in a shocking twist he went on to scoop the jackpot.
Farm manager Kaleb Cooper, 26, was gobsmacked at the size of the Lambo he chose.
An engineer who saw Jeremy, Kaleb and a film crew at the sale in Sutton, near Ely, Cambs, said: 'He was right next to his huge tractor.
'It was great to see him. I'm a fan.
'I watched every Top Gear with my dad and watch the Clarkson's Farm with my son.'

Ms Davis brought back the idea of a book club from Canada, where she had been living for six years. The group is named Lit - short for Literary Circle - and was first hosted at her home in the North Somerset village of Easton-in-Gordano."The variety of books is absolutely amazing and there are lots of books that I never would have thought to pick up," Mary Donaldson, who joined the group in 1978, although the readers have covered a lot of ground with their choices - from thrillers to poetry - the one genre they have failed to agree to try is science fiction. Members have formed a close-knit group, bonding over other shared interests, such as walking and Tuckwell was initially daunted by the number of books the group had read when she joined in the mid-1980s. But she said she came to realise that "sharing reactions to a book, whether you like it or not, is a route into friendship".

A Bridgerton star who successfully fought off a phone snatcher says fight training for acting roles helped her during the altercation. Genevieve Chenneour, 27, who plays Clara Livingston in the Netflix period drama, was waiting for a coffee at a Kensington branch of Joe and the Juice when 18-year-old Zacariah Boulares, of Fawns Manor Close, Feltham, snuck up behind her and grabbed her phone on 8 February. Speaking about the incident on This Morning on Thursday (12 June), Chenneour said that she has 'done a lot of fight training for work' and also revealed that she is an avid boxer. 'I think it was just an instinct', she said, describing the moment she retrieved the phone back from Boulares.
