Rob Lowe Joins Dana Carvey’s Podcast To Talk Brat Pack, Running Form And Hollywood Finances

Comedy legend Dana Carvey has welcomed Hollywood veteran Rob Lowe to his popular podcast, offering fans a star-studded conversation covering everything from fitness habits to industry finances.

In a recent Instagram post, Carvey announced: “Rob Lowe is in the house! ✌️😀” The post features an image showing Lowe appearing as a guest on the “Fly on the Wall” podcast, which Carvey co-hosts with fellow “Saturday Night Live” alum David Spade.

According to the post, the episode features the hosts “shooting the crap” before diving into a conversation with Lowe about running form, the iconic Brat Pack era, and the current financial challenges facing the entertainment industry in Hollywood.

Fans of Lowe can catch him on his FOX hit game show “THE FLOOR,” which is currently available for streaming on Hulu. The post also notes that Lowe hosts his own podcast titled “Literally! with Rob Lowe,” available on all major podcast platforms.

This appearance continues a series of high-profile guests on Carvey and Spade’s podcast. In recent episodes, the comedy duo has welcomed stars like Brett Goldstein from “Ted Lasso” and comedian Dan Soder.

In a related post, Carvey shared a behind-the-scenes moment with Lowe, noting they were “Talking camera angles” during the recording session. This suggests the podcast may have been filmed for additional content beyond the audio version.

The podcast appears to blend humor with substantive discussion about the entertainment industry. The mention of “financial issues facing Hollywood” is particularly timely given the recent strikes and ongoing economic challenges in the film and television business.

Dana Carvey rose to fame as a cast member on “Saturday Night Live” from 1986 to 1993, creating iconic characters like the Church Lady, Hans (of Hans and Franz), and his spot-on impressions of George H. W. Bush. After SNL, Carvey starred in films such as “Wayne’s World” and “Wayne’s World 2” alongside Mike Myers.

His podcast partner David Spade also gained prominence through SNL (1990-1996) before starring in films like “Tommy Boy” and “Joe Dirt” and television shows including “Just Shoot Me!” and “Rules of Engagement.”

Together, they’ve built “Fly on the Wall” into a popular podcast that provides insider perspectives on comedy, entertainment, and pop culture. Recent episodes have covered diverse topics including a potential remake of “The Bodyguard,” the all-female space mission, and movie theater etiquette.

Rob Lowe began his career as a member of the “Brat Pack,” a group of young actors who frequently appeared together in coming-of-age films in the 1980s, including classics like “The Outsiders” and “St. Elmo’s Fire.”

After navigating some career challenges in the 1990s, Lowe experienced a significant career resurgence with his role as Sam Seaborn in “The West Wing.” He has since starred in successful television series including “Parks and Recreation,” “9-1-1: Lone Star,” and now hosts “The Floor” on FOX.

Lowe’s podcast “Literally! with Rob Lowe” has also become popular, featuring conversations with celebrities and friends from his decades in the entertainment industry.

The collaboration between these three entertainment veterans brings together significant experience across different eras of Hollywood, making for what promises to be an engaging and insightful conversation about both the craft and business of entertainment.
