I loved the original Anderson Cooper version of the show. When they
brought in Ahmad and the celebs it
became a train wreck.........
Variety:ABC has given a 10-episode order to Stone & Co. Entertainment ("Tim
Gunn's Guide to Style") to revive the reality
competish, which hasn't aired in four years.
Casting and
pre-production have begun on the show, which will likely start shooting later this spring. ABC is looking to run "The Mole" this summer.
"This is a show we honestly love and people ask us about all the time," said ABC Entertainment alternative series senior VP John
Saade, who added that plans were afoot to dig out "The Mole" even before the writers' strike................
The revived "Mole" will revert back to the original format, sans celebs................
Anderson Cooper, who hosted the first two editions, remains at CNN and isn't available to host; Ahmad
Rashad, who hosted the celeb editions, hasn't been asked to return. Stone said he's scouting for a host in Cooper's vein.
