From Cynopsis.net :

When The Mole from Stone & Co., returns to ABC, it won't have either Anderson Cooper or Ahmad Rashad in the lead. It returns with a new host - Jon Kelley, former weekend anchor for the syndicated series Extra. The Mole kicks off on ABC this spring, reports Variety.

Wow. It must have taken hundreds of dollars to pry him away from "Extra." But it's nice to see that Pat Bullard found work over on the New Newlywed Game.

When he was doing sports in Chicago, he was getting ripped apart on a regular basis in the media and on sports talk radio, especially by Rob Feder over at the Sun-Times.

Of course, Anderson Cooper hasn't exactly been the subject of media love since he came back to news from the original "Mole" and Ahmad Rashad has gotten his share of negative press over the years, so maybe it doesn't matter.

Rightfully so. His sportscasting was, at best, lackluster. I think his career highlight at Channel 5 was being romantically linked to Robin Givens in a tabloid.

Does Jon Kelley know how Plinko is played?
