Rob Lowe does not want people watching TV all alone. The star of the new comedy "The Grinder" stopped by "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" and brought along with him an ad for an app called Grindr, something he thought brought people together in order to watch his show. The actor did not seem to understand what the app was really for.
"Every Tuesday night millions of Americans are watching The Grinder alone," Lowe said in the ad. "Imagine having to laugh out loud nonstop for 30 minutes straight all by yourself. But now imagine you don't have to thanks to this very cool app I discovered called Grindr."
Grindr is a popular dating app that uses a mixture of geolocation and free/paid services to help gay, bisexual and bi-curious men find dates and sexual partners, as HNGN previously reported.
"You just open the app and scroll through hundreds of men who share your passion for bold network comedy," Lowe said in the ad.
Lowe called the hookup app that is very similar to Tinder as "a neat networking app that lets guys who like watching The Grinder meet with other guys in their area who also like watching The Grinder, so they can meet up to watch The Grinder! How fun is that?" asked Lowe.
Whilst swiping through the dating app that he thought was to find people to watch his show with, Lowe found a match in another man.
"Oh this guy's DTF," Lowe said upon choosing his Grinder-watching partner. "So am I!"
"Definite television fan," he clarified.
