.
>>> You've got to help him,
please.
>> What's the ems?
>> Supposedly on the way.
>> Excuse us, excuse us, let us
through.
Talk to the family.
See if he has allergies.
Give us room to work.
>> This thing belongs to us.
>> You must have missed the part
where they made me the captain
of the 126.
>> This scene is medical so I
run the call.
>> This is so good.
We're so excited for fox's new
show "911" with Rob Lowe right
there playing a firefighter.
>> Good to see you, man.
Looking sharp.
>> Thank you, thank you.
>> Like you said in the
commercial break before we came
on, this is firefighter hair.
>> Yeah, you know, I mean
there's only so much I can do to
change this.
So it's the fireman's haircut.
>> We were walking down the
hallway I was like man, you look
How many times a day do you hear
>> It makes me feel great.
I love that.
It's a great compliment.
Are you kidding me?
>> Right.
>> Yeah, come on, for sure.
>> But I think you've got one
really good thing going for you
that helps from all of this
besides Atkins that we're going
to get to.
Hot dad.
Your dad is the hottest
80-year-old I've ever seen.
>> He's the sexiest 80-year-old.
>> Genetics are a huge part.
You've got to be thankful when
you roll the good dice, and I am
thankful to my dad.
And my mom.
>> Atkins, you've done this a
long time.
This really works for you.
>> Yeah, I've been living the
Atkins lifestyle almost before I
knew it was Atkins which is
really watching your carbs and
eating just -- it's just a
healthy -- what it does, it
makes me feel energetic.
It -- it makes me have the
energy that I need to do the
things that I want to do but
also I never have that after
lunch exhaustion slump.
And of course then, you know,
when I need that 4:00 something,
something, something, something,
I've got my -- I've got an army
of cool Atkins stuff that I
literally keep in my car in a
bag.
>> And it's simple.
>> A lot of people leave, they
go away from it, come back to
it.
This is one of the things right
for you.
It's great.
>> That's the drill, right?
>> It's working.
It's working.
>> He needs t-shirts.
He needs Atkins t-shirts.
>> Scott and I were talking
about the roles you take.
You're very diverse in your
roles.
>> Brian Murphy who's making the
most interesting stuff on
television right now and I have
been trying to find something to
do since he wrote nip/tuck for
me.
And my agents didn't give it to
me.
>> Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
>> You were in love with the
character.
You were like this is --
>> I was in love for the
character you wrote for me
without knowing it was written
for me, Dr. Christian Troy.
>> All this time we've been
hearing from your agents he's
too busy, they haven't even
called you to let you know.
>> When the cohosting slot was
open, they did not tell me.
>> You better watch your seat.
>> Watch your seat!
Right?
>> I love the double back with
it.
But before we move on from that,
what was your conversation with
them when you found that out.
Clearly they had your best
interest in mind.
But you had to like hello.
>> That kind of stuff happens in
Hollywood from time to time.
It showed me that Ryan knew how
to write for me and they
designed this character in "Lone
star" for me so it's like a
tailor fitted beautiful suit I
get to wear every day and come
to work.
>> There's the "nip/tuck"
control room.
Can you give me what I'm looking
for?
I do it every time rob is here.
>> Yeah!
>> Every time you come here,
this photo --
>> Can I tell you, that is my --
that's one of the favorite
things I've ever done.
>> Really.
>> I'm a character actor trapped
in a leading man's body.
>> That's so true.
>> 100%.
>> That's why I like "Parks and
rec" or any of your roles.
I like that comedy.
>> Any time I can go off the
reservation and do that kind of
stuff, I love it.
"Behind the candle abrah" may be
one of my favorite things ever.
I need to rock that in my
personal life.
>> Where would you go?
>> Everywhere.
>> Where wouldn't you go?
>> I know, right?
>> It's a good one.
>> With your one-man show,
what's the story you have to
tell.
>> It's funny.
That's the way I look at it.
When I was building the one-man
show, I was building it around
the two books that I wrote and
just other stories that I have.
And I'm thinking what are the
hits?
And by the way, do I want to
lead with a hit?
>> Yeah.
>> Or do I want to save the
hits?
>> Yeah.
>> So, I decided to save the one
that I was -- people were
obsessed with my "St. Elmo's
fire" fake air saxophone
playing.
>> That was fake?
>> Don't shatter kit's
illusions.
>> Oh.
>> Yeah, baby.
You're playing my song.
>> So, I tell -- I usually close
this story with a very long
shaggy dog funny story about how
I mistakenly fooled president
Clinton into thinking I was
playing the sax and then went
into a shame spiral because I
hoodwinked the leader of the
free world.
>> Unreal.
>> Well, we caught up with
Robert Downey, Jr. Recently
knowing you were coming on.
What do you love about rob?
>> This is amazing.
>> We were at paltrow's wedding
and it came down to him on the
dance floor.
He was last man standing, and
rob, you really -- you really --
you took the blue ribbon home
that night.
Your moves were second to none.
He did an air sax solo.
>> That's what I'm saying.
>> Good job, rob.
>> We've got to bring that back.
>> Robert Downey, Jr.
>> We were a freshman together
in history class, Santa Monica
high school.
>> Come on.
>> Can you imagine that teacher
having to put up with us?
>> No, no.
>> Your childhood growing up,
malibu.
I can't believe it was --
>> It was a magic time.
A lot of us just happened to
come from that time and place.
You have Downey and I and the
sheen family, Sean Penn and his
family.
>> It doesn't even sound real.
It sounds like a movie.
>> It was a weird confluence of
events that we were all right
there wanting to do the same
thing.
>> Before you go, kit loves you
and she's also getting ready to
send her first kid off to
college.
>> Amazing.
>> Any advice you have for her?
>> What do I do?
>> Has she gone yet?
>> When is it?
>> It'll be in the fall.
>> Not to promote shamelessly,
but that is why I'm here.
You have to look up the essay I
wrote about sending your first
to college.
>> Okay.
>> And it's in my book, but it's
widely shared amongst parents
and it really means so much to
me that when I wrote about how
painful --
>> Oh, I'm not ready.
Scott, help me.
>> It's brutal.
>> Even at the dinner table.
>> People send their sons and
daughters to war.
What the hell is going on with
me.
Get it together.
But it's still sending your
first one out into the world.
So, read that.
Prepare yourself and read that.
>> We got you.
>> They're trying to rap up.
I want to play this quick game
called Lowe blow.
Your son trolls you.
It's my favorite thing.
Sit tight.
