TUBE TALK ABC's ''The Mole'' has been sabotaged by low ratings. ABC is pulling the series after three little-watched episodes, with hopes of relaunching it later in the season. The network will probably fill the 8 p.m. Friday slot with ''America's Funniest Home Videos.''...
Comedy Central isn't the first place you think of when it comes to original TV movies, much less based-in-fact TV movies. But the channel has announced plans to make two to three TV movies a year. First on the slate is ''Porn N' Chicken,'' inspired by the recent news story that a group of Yale students was meeting weekly to eat fried chicken and watch X-rated films. Guess if Comedy Central can't make fun of President Bush anymore, it can still make fun of his alma mater.
Meanwhile, what's the deal with former ''Baywatch'' babes and Comedy Central's ''Battlebots''? The robot-fighting show's newest color commentator will be Carmen Electra, who follows in the footsteps of Donna D'Errico and Traci Bingham.
PASSING NOTES Bongo, a lion best known for acting opposite Brendan Fraser in ''George of the Jungle'' and opposite Michael Douglas and Val Kilmer in ''The Ghost and the Darkness,'' died Thursday at Toronto's Bowmanville Zoo, a home for animal actors. He lived to be 15, double the average age for lions in the wild, but had been suffering from lung cancer since July. By last week, as he was in great pain and had stopped eating, his keepers decided to put him to sleep. He is survived by his brother (and ''Ghost'' costar) Caesar, another resident of the zoo.
