The People Paper's Chris Brennan reported in November that Rendell was being represented by the William Morris Endeavor Entertainment agency in Beverly Hills and was looking for a TV gig.
Rendell, who does a postgame show for Comcast SportsNet after every Eagles game, spent hours appearing on cable-news programs before and after the Nov. 2 general election.
Of course with Comcast taking over NBC, people speculated that the cable behemoth, whose No. 2 exec is Rendell's longtime friend and former deputy mayor David L. Cohen, had something to do with Rendell's being hired by NBC News.
"Comcast is not involved in any hiring decisions at NBC News since the deal has not yet closed," said Comcast spokesman John Demming.
Meanwhile, Rendell is also returning to his former law firm Ballard Spahr. Read more about that on Page 7.

Vice President Joe Biden yesterday afternoon went for a well-done burger at the Public House (900 N. Market) in Wilmington, where he was said to be very nice and a good tipper.
* NBA star Grant Hill and a
friend ducked into Davio's (111 S. 17th) Sunday night for dinner. Hill, whose Phoenix Suns played the Sixers last night, had scallops, lobster, a steak, and a glass of wine and tipped generously.
* Eagles QB Michael Vick did
some shopping Sunday afternoon at the Best Buy on Columbus Boulevard in South Philly where he was happy to pose for cell-phone photos with fans.
All the best to Bell
