I watch CNN and Anderson seems quite happy and whenever I run across him, I am quite happy as well. He's VERY popular when he sits in for Aaron Brown on Newsnight, in fact they joke about just HOW popular he is. <gently helps hippy up off the floor to a comfy couch and starts a video clip of Anderson Cooper for her>

I agree, Sea. I think he left ABC News to get off the overnight news (I can't imagine keeping that schedule). He was VERY popular (still is) on that show ...I am a World News Now junkie...know all the hosts! I don't think ABC knew exactly what to do with him...he has so much personality and he is not really a hard news guy...not exactly a soft news/features guy. He can do a lot of different stuff on CNN.. I hear they pay lousy tho. But his family has resources, so that is probably not an issue. I enjoy it when I flip on and he is there..he seems pretty happy.

Looks like the host for the celebrity version is decided: Ahmad Rashad. Here's the story: Rashad to Host ABC's 'Mole' Sun Oct 13, 9:54 PM ET By Josef Adalian HOLLYWOOD (Variety) - Former NBC hoops commentator Ahmad Rashad has signed on as host of ABC's upcoming celeb edition of "The Mole." Rashad replaces veteran "Mole" front man Anderson Cooper, who's leaving the reality series in order to focus on his gig as an anchor-reporter for CNN. ABC is also developing another civilian-focused "Mole" for next summer, but Rashad has not yet been locked in to host that series. In addition to his NBA work for NBC, Rashad had a brief stint as host of the syndicated show "Real TV." Disney is also in the early stages of development for a daytime talker to be hosted by Rashad. Celebs already confirmed for the celeb "Mole" include Kathy Griffin (news) and Stephen Baldwin (news). It is expected to tape in Hawaii as early as next month for broadcast later this season.

WHAT???!!!!!! Where did they come up with this idea? He is not a bad person, but I just don't see him as the right choice for this. Again ABC proves they need to clean house in the programming dept.

Well he's quite good looking, and I bet he has a leather jacket. That's a start.

I'll reserve judgement until I actually see this.....We didn't know Anderson Cooper would be a good host when we heard he would host either, so I'm gonna give them the benefit of the doubt.

I've no idea who he is, as I'm not a sports watcher. Aside from the fact that he's a sports guy, what's he like? Is he funny or charming?

He's charming and occasionally funny.

For those who don't know, Ahmad Rashad is a sportscaster. He used to do NFL games when NBC had them (he was a NFL player in the 70's and 80's for the Vikings I believe), but is primarily known nowadays for the NBA. He hosts "NBA Inside Stuff", a magazine/promotional tool for the league, with Summer Sanders, which will be moving to ABC this fall because ABC/ESPN bought the rights to the league. This won't be Rashad's first game/reality show; he hosted "Caesar's Challenge", a scrambled-word game shot at Caesar's Palace in Las Vegas, for 26 weeks in the early 90's for NBC.

Actually Pamy, they are divorced, I think. I think this guy might be ok. He is pretty smart, good looking, has a sense of humor...totally different energy from Anderson...the thing that I think he may not have is Anderson's sophistication...because of Anderson's family background, he really seems at home in all the great places the Mole went to in Europe. Since Celeb Mole is not going to Europe, that may not be an issue.

No! No! No! The Mole without Anderson is just a puzzling rodent! It's all about wit, charm, urbanity, intelligence...and Anderson Cooper emodies that. His sophistication! His blue-blooded snarkiness! His sadistic ribbing! His homoerotic rapport with the men and you-go-girl vibe with the girls! He's giving all that up for CNN? What--he wants to be a common entertainer?? That's living giving up talking pictures for vaudeville! Rashad is just a pigskin talker. He's common. He hosts "Real TV," for crying out loud. They've just ruined the show! They handed a Jaguar to a used car salesman! They should have paid Anderson whatever he asked!

I used to watch him on Real TV,he was a good host. I think you might be right Car54. He doesn't have Anderson's kind of noble charisma. I think he might be good at a celebrity version filmed in Hawaii though. I'm not through pouting yet though!But I will give Ahmad a chance. Jiffy for him,huh??? LOL

Frankly I think ABC ruined The Mole long before Anderson left. The second season was kind of lame...by giving away such blatant clues, they kind of reduced it to a "who cares". Whatever they do, it is not the original show anyway IMO.

I think that the guy who plays Vaughn on Alias would be good. I saw him a few weeks ago on one of the late night shows and he seemed witty, intelligent, and at ease. Maybe he could get away for a month to do The Mole!

Say what you think, Bastable!!! So Rashad hosts Real TV!? NOW I think I know who you all mean! He seems a good choice for a celebity Mole at least. It'll give them time to work on who hosts the "real" Mole .

Well,JMO,but ABC wouldn't know what to do with a hit show if it ran them over. Bastable,I agree with everything you said.

Boy, CNN is on a real losing streak. It's getting to where everything it touches is unwatchable. Have you tried locating a focal point amongst all that garbage they load onto the screen? And now forbidding Anderson from doing another "Mole"? Who do they think they are?
