The Australian actor, writer and director, who is most famous for playing toilet repair man Kenny, said that he is very "happy" about his new job fronting the Nine Network's version of the car show.
Jacobsen told Your TV: "I like many different types of cars. Now that I'm getting the chance to drive plenty of fast cars on other people's insurance, let me just say I'm as happy as Elvis in a room full of burgers."
He will be joined on the show by Top Gear Australia magazine editor Ewen Page and racing driver Steve Pizzati.
