ABC Apparently Wants Rob Lowe As Regis Philbin's Replacement on 'Live' - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Rob Lowe could be Regis Philbin's replacement ... if ABC has its way.

Lowe just finished a two-day stint, guest hosting with Kelly Ripa and an ABC source says the honchos "loved the chemistry between them." We're told network execs have spoken with Lowe's reps about making it a permanent gig, but Lowe -- who already has a job on "Parks and Recreation" -- is non-committal.

But we just shot Rob leaving NYC at JFK airport. Our camera guy asked him, "Do you think you could live in New York?"

Rob replied: "We were just talking about that. I love New York. I love the energy. It would be a change of pace. I'm a California boy, but it could be fun."

I just can't picture Rob Lowe as a talk show host, but weirder things have happened!!

He was awesome. Great chemistry with Kelly and witty. I liked Josh Groban as well.

he's like a majestic butterfly - they can't hold him down and keep him , they have to let him soar freely, and if he chooses to come and host the show occasionally, then so be it.

My favorites so far have easily been NPH, Lowe, and Jim Parsons. All worked very well with Kelly. None of them have the time to do a talk show in NYC though!!

I would think doing a morning talk show would be a major step down for Rob Lowe at this point in his career.
