I’m pretty sure that was the name. A group of people tasked with completing different things for money. One person was a mole and was tasked with causing them to fail.
It was about 20 years ago.
It was a good show until they started doing it all celebrity seasons.

I watched the first season. But about the only thing that I can remember about it is that Anderson Cooper was a douche, even before he was all that famous.

Loved that show. One of the best reality competition shows.

It was a great show that I wish they’d bring back. Every season is available free on YouTube. I went back and rewatched during quarantine

I remember liking the show, but I think I only watched the first season.

I just found out they had 5 seasons, including a celebrity season that Dennis Rodman won.

I have a vague recollection of The Mole and that Kathy Griffin was on it. Was not a regular watcher.

Joe Schmo, mentioned above, was one of the best damned TV projects in the history of America. I loved that show.

I started to call bullshite on this one. I looked it up - 20 years ago tomorrow that show aired.

Where 20 years went, I cannot tell you.

I remember it really well.

It came out in 2001. I had just gotten my first Tivo for Christmas 2000. (It recorded 25 hours of really poor quality 12 or so of less crappy quality, or 8 hours of almost good quality if I remember correctly. I was the first person I know to own a DVR)

Anyway, we watched it with my kids, and really enjoyed it, so we set up a "season's pass" to record the episodes.

It got cancelled without a resolution. A little while later - maybe it was the later the same year - they aired the last few episodes of that first season.

Despite what others remember, the Mole that first season was a man - a retired Navy admiral.
