Fans of Parks and Recreation, you may breathe a sigh of relief: Rob Lowe isn’t leaving Indiana. Despite rumors that the actor could replace the fired Charlie Sheen on Two and a Half Men — an idea, by the way, that even got Sheen’s endorsement — Parks executive producer Mike Schur tells EW that there is “zero truth” to that scenario. “Rob is a full-time cast member and his contract extends many years in the future, so there’s no possible way that could happen,” he says. “It was a classic Internet rumor that got way out of hand.” Borrowing a word from Lowe’s character, ultra-optimistic auditor Chris Traeger, Schur declared: ”There is literally no chance that he can go to another show right now.” Lowe guest starred on the final two episodes of season 2 before becoming a regular cast member on Parks this season.

‘Parks and Recreation’ scoop
thank god! lowe is comedy gold on parks and rec and he deserves better than the crap fest that is two and half men
Who are you kidding? Both shows suck.
You sound like a person who stopped watching P&R after the first two episodes of season 1.
Pete you suck. The unarguable truth is that Parks is brilliant. Men sucks. End of story.
You replied to yourself? LAME
I know! What an IDIOT!
I have never even heard of this stupid show.
Which the majority of the American puhlic disagrees with you, but I guess elitist snobs like you don’t care.
The MAJORITY of the 307 million people who make up the American public do not watch either of these shows.
Right. The MAJORITY of people watch Jersey Shore and Dancing with the “Stars.” That’s a real barometer of taste.
If you want to measure real intelligence in this country DO NOT ask for people who watch these shows.
Sheen is winning. I don’t know what you guys are talking about. Honestly.
Absolutely.
Whew.
I was thinking the same thing. Parks & Rec. is so much fun with him as a regular. He just fits right in.
I’ve never even heard of this show. And I watch alot of TV
No, apparently you don’t, Nancy.
His contract “extends many years into the future”??
Yaaay!! I figured as much but it’s good to know for sure.
Ann Perkins!
Yay! I love his character on P&R.
I love him too on Parks and Rec but I wonder what is happening as he character moved or is moving isn’t he?? That is a reason he broke up with Ann Perkins?
I believe they filmed the first few episodes of season 3 before Amy Poehler’s pregnancy became an issue. Chris leaving Pawnee was at the end of those initial episodes, before Rob Lowe was signed on as a full-fledged regular cast member. I’m sure they’ll come up with a good reason to have him come back.
Thanks, didn’t know that! I like Rob Lowe and Adam Scott so much on that show.
I’m sure Chris is coming back to Pawnee for some reasons. Maybe he will be Mayor?
Anyway, shows that internet gossip is 90% wrong. Some claimed “Rob Lowe is in talks to join..” FALSE!
Let me get this straight: Charlie BAD but a guy who makes sex tapes with teenagers GOOD
Wes, that would be a teenager Lowe met in a bar and who claimed to be of legal age.
I see what you mean about it being a little short, but the print is foalubus and what a steal! Maybe it could just be something to wear on days when you just want something vintage-y and not full-on vintage? I think it would look awfully cute with some espadrille wedges, by the way.
So basically, you are blaming her. I see how this goes. Last time I checked, Charlie isn’t in trouble for that.
Yes. Nice, sad, desperate attempt there, though.
Really?? No one can replace the Sheenster.
Everyone needs to move on. Life’s too short.
Too Bad, I really think Rob Lowe could pull this off!
Why would anyone want to hire Rob Lowe? He’ll just end up leaving after a couple of seasons anyway.
Hey loser! That’s called a spoiler.
