Here’s a picture of Jim O’Heir and Retta arriving at NBC Universal’s 2010 TCA Summer Party. The event happened Friday in Beverly Hills, California.
It was there that, among other things, NBC announced that Rob Lowe would be a series regular on Parks and Recreation.
Looks like Chris Traeger’s stint at the Pawnee Parks Department will be much longer than anticipated.
Rob Lowe, who initially signed on for a handful of Parks and Recreation episodes, has been promoted to series regular!
Congratulations, Rob!
From Watch with Kristin:
Pawnee just got a whole lot prettier!
During Friday morning’s Television Critics Association Press Tour, NBC bigwigs Angela Bromstad and Jeff Gaspin kicked things off with a few crazy exciting announcements—the first being Rob Lowe’s big Parks and Recreation promotion…
After popping by Indiana’s most famous city service department this spring, Rob Lowe will be back full-time when(ever) Parks and Recreation returns—and fingers crossed that’s soon! His auditing cohort Adam Scott (fresh off his Party Down cancellation) has already been promoted to series regular, so based on the manner in which these two entered the world of Pawnee, things are not looking good for Leslie Knope (Amy Poehler) and her beloved job.
That said, maybe Rob’s guy Chris Traeger sticking around will mean a much-needed love interest for Rashida Jones’ Ann…just sayin’.

From The Hollywood Reporter:
Leslie Knope is such a unique role. Describe this character in your own words.
She is like a well-intentioned traveler with a really bad sense of direction. She’s a person who believes that all it takes is one person to care to create change. She doesn’t have that set of skills you need, like sly negotiation skills and the ability to withhold praise and love. She is like an open-face sandwich. You always know what you’re going to get.Is there a scene from Season 2 that you think really impressed the TV Academy?
That’s way too hard for me to pick. But there was this one scene where I had just jumped off a bridge and I was on the top of a car shooting at these guys who thought I was a Russian spy. Oh wait, that was Angelina Jolie in “Salt.” That wasn’t me, but that scene looks good. I think that impressed the academy.Three of the five lead actress nominees are “Saturday Night Live” alums. Is that a coincidence or indicative of the training ground “SNL” provides?
It’s no surprise to me. I think Lorne Michaels has done more for women in comedy than anybody I know. It has been such a fertile ground for talented women. It’s an indication that, frankly, “SNL” is still the place where the funniest women reside.
This post lists information relating to the movie, Scott Pilgrim vs. the World. In it, Aubrey Plaza plays the role of Julie Powers. It will be released on August 13.
