Rob Lowe in Talks to Co-Host “Live” with Kelly Ripa

After sitting in as a guest co-host on “Live with Kelly Ripa,” Rob Lowe has been approached by ABC to possibly replace Regis Philbin, who left the hit morning show in November.


Gossip Cop is told ABC is already in talks with Lowe’s people after the actor proved to be “a natural — really great,” says a network insider.


A source close to the actor confirms to us, “His agents are dealing with it.”


Of course, Lowe is already on the NBC show “Parks & Recreation,” so he’d have to leave the West Coast-based show to do the morning program out of New York.
