Jon Kelley has recently replaced the original Mole host Anderson Cooper for the show's fifth installment, which began its run on June 2.  Kelley, who is known for his job as a weekend anchor on Extra, began his work in the series in 2001 and has now spanned over 15 years in the broadcast industry.  Aside from appearing on television and hosting radio shows, he also co-wrote the book Breaking Into Broadcasting. Now that he's the newest face to become the host of ABC's The Mole, Jon Kelley dishes out on the new batch of contenders to compete in the grueling reality series.

Let's start with Marcie Ciscel, the single mother of three who was the first to leave the Mole.  Kelley says of her, "She hesitated even going on this because she didn't want to leave her family.  Her family was like, 'Look, this is your chance to go out in the world.

Chris Farley's celebrity friends Chevy Chase and David Spade tried desperately to save the actor from his drug addiction before he died of an overdose, a new book reveals.

Actor pals Chase and Spade reveal the tactics they used to shock Farley into kicking his out-of-control habit in The Last Days of Chris Farley - written by the tragic star's brother Tom Farley and Tanner Colby.

Chase says, "(I told him) look, you're not John Belushi. And when you overdose or kill yourself, you will not have the same acclaim that John did. You'll be a blip in the New York Times obituary page, and that'll be it. Is that what you want?"

And Spade claims he was blamed for his Tommy Boy co-star's death: "I got a lot of s**t at the end about, 'Why weren't you there for him?' But being that close, I dealt with it all the time. And in that situation, before the guy's dead, he's just kind of an asshole. Truth is, you get a junkie who's wasted all the time and moody and angry and trying to knock you around, you say, 'Ok, you go do that and I'll be over here.'"

Farley died from an overdose in 1997 at the age of 33.
