I SPY AN EXIT: The Mole's best kept secret is history: Sexy snarkster Anderson Cooper will not be returning as host of ABC's little reality show that could. According to Variety, CNN — where Cooper is currently employed as an anchor — asked him to choose between his news gig and his reality duties. The Mole is planning two new editions, one featuring celebs and one with civilians. No word on Anderson's replacement, but let's pray it won't be Brian Dunkleman. From TV Guide Online

harrison ford, tommy lee jones, powers boothe, regis philbin, or matthew mcconaughey....however you spell that cutie's name! or perhaps drew carey or maybe a lady! like kathy kinney who plays mimi! it's hard when you have someone in mind to be the mole guy and it was anderson for us...please just don't let kathryn take it over. or God forbid, chuck woolery, LOL hey! how about drew and kevin from an earlier amazing race game!?

Last fall when the show was put on hiatus, the top name on the list (Anderson had already moved to CNN) was Richard Hatch.

NOOoo Richard Hatch would not be good. I still can't think of anyone that could pull it off as well as Anderson

That rumor was last year...I think he has been in court or jail or something since then...maybe the American Idol guy is ahead of him now. At least Rich is pretty smart...just would want some kind of guarantee he would never take his clothes off.

The Mole needs someone who is suave and sophisticated and maybe a bit mysterious...somehow neither Richard Hatch nor the American Idol guy meet those qualifications for me.

I agree, we need someone mysterious. Anderson just had this certain air about him, and it will be hard to find someone to take his place. I'm still really bumming over this because I really loved him as the ringleader!

how about david duchovny....why don't you love me... i loved when he was on celebrity millionaire and got the question about the fountain in italy. he called tea 'because she's italian', asked her the question... and she said, 'honey, you are soooo screwed!' lol

Ooo, Tabby. That has some potential!!

David Duchovny would be great. He is very well educated, has a sense of humor and looks good in leather. He left the X Files to be a movie star tho...can't see him hosting a game show. He did Millionaire for charity. From what we have heard, they are paying the "celebs" something for their appearances instead.

Now that I could handle! Duchony would be almost as good as Anderson!

I just posted in the other Mole thread that I too think he would be a great choice. He was great on SNL, very dry sense of humor and did well on Millionaire show

Ya know.. I actually think Will from BB 2 might be good at this..

I think the primary qualification would be someone who you would beleive to be a "secret agent" type. That's the whole thing, exotic locales, a mole, sabotage, etc. Pierce Brosnan would be cool. Duchovny maybe. A British accent would be a plus. Although Anderson didn't have an accent, I had no trouble envisioning him as a "double secret" secret agent!

Seamonkey, I thought of Will too. He is smart and funny..very different from Anderson, but a definite maybe. I wonder if he is not under contract to NBC for that show that is on hiatus, tho?

Is anyone familiar with Mike Rowe? He hosts a show called "Worst Case Scenerio" right now, but has been around the business for about 15 years or longer. He has a superb very dry sense of humor and isn't too bad on the eyes either...LOL He was a host on QVC in the early 90's and worked the overnight hours. I'd stay up just to watch him...LOL He's done travel shows with TLC and Tylenol commercials. He has a GREAT voice and wouldn't look bad in leather either!! btw...thanks Mckryan for keeping TWO threads going! We need all the HELP we can get! LOL

Oh, I remember him from QVC...he is definitely a cutie...very funny...has a "don't give a damn" attitude sometimes. I haven't seen his new show. I liked him a lot tho...(Insomniac here...used to watch QVC to try to go to sleep...he worked the overnight shift!)

Yes, Car...he's the one. Hmmm...maybe I should send an email to ABC and put a bug in their ear...LOL Not that they would listen!

He always seemed to be just chatting on the overnight...I always wondered if he ever sold anything!
