His next role was a fictionalized version of himself on Episodes. From 2011, LeBlanc began appearing as a fictional version of himself in Episodes, a television series about an American remake of a fictional British television series.

In February 2016, the BBC announced LeBlanc had signed on to become one of the new Top Gear hosts, signing a new two-year deal later that year. He announced his decision to retire from the series in May 2018, having co-hosted it for three years. Despite the show being “great fun”, he stated the “time commitment and extensive travel takes me away from my family and friends more than I’m comfortable with.”He played the lead role in the CBS sitcom Man with a Plan, which began airing in 2016 until it was canceled in 2020. He attended Newton North High School, where he graduated in the same year as future comedian Louis C.K. After high school, he attended college at Wentworth Institute of Technology in Boston, MA.
