Turns out that [Colbert](http://time.com/4011585/stephen-colbert-interview-transcripts/) holds Lowe accountable for the current state of the presidential election, because way back in 2011 (when Lowe looked exactly the same as he does now), Lowe asked Donald Trump to consider running for president just to liven up the debates on Fox News. Fast forward to 2016, and Trump is the Republican presidential candidate. When Colbert points this out, Lowe simply shrugged, “My work here is done,” and then confessed he was working for the KGB to “ruin the country.” Lowe is still undecided, but is leaning towards the candidate who is the most “hydrated.” He won’t say which candidate he prefers, because he wants voters, “no matter how stupid” they are, to tune into hew new television show, _Code Black_. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4509513/rob-lowe-on-donald-trump-hillary-clinton/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4509513/rob-lowe-on-donald-trump-hillary-clinton/"},"headline":"Rob Lowe Says He's Still Undecided Between Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton","datePublished":"2016-09-27T14:41:34.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:37:02.326Z","description":"But he's looking at issues that matter to him—like hydration","url":"https://time.com/4509513/rob-lowe-on-donald-trump-hillary-clinton/","keywords":["Newsfeed","Television","stephen colbert","2016 presidential election","late show"],"thumbnailUrl":"","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Melissa Locker","jobTitle":"","url":"https://time.com/author/melissa-locker/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4509513/rob-lowe-on-donald-trump-hillary-clinton/","name":"Rob Lowe Says He's Still Undecided Between Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton"}}]}] ```
