Enhhh…
I said the same thing about Anderson Cooper (”Who’s this?”). So I ain’t passing judgment yet
(I’m just too happy to see “The Mole” Back!)
From videos I have seen of him I think he can pull it off but only time will tell.
I had never heard of him… and I think that this is a great thing! Like Ken C., I’d never heard of Anderson and I really REALLY liked him (he’s the only way you can get me to watch CNN!) But I think we’ve got the right idea - wait to decide. Plus, now that ABC has officially reported 5/26, we know we’ve only got two months to wait! :) In all honesty, my biggest concern (and it isn’t big at all, just the biggest of the small) is how they’re planning on making it ‘more fun’ for those of us at home. I thought it was fun enough as it was. I’ll be damned if I’m going to print off 10 pages of “Who Is The Mole? BINGO!” cards :)
Amen to this news! I don’t care who hosts the damn show, it was one of my favourite reality shows!
This is great, I was just missing the show and talking with my wife, who is also a fan, about how good a show it was and what a shame it went off the air.
This is great stuff, I just hope it is civilian Mole and not Celeb.
Ryan,
If you read past news on here then you will know it will not be a Celebrity version…
Yeah, I read into it a bit more online and saw they are returning to the original format. It’s just such a great show, I figured it was done, but am more than happy it is coming back. Finally, ABC did something right.
