‘HOME Alone” kid Macaulay Culkin is coming to a TV screen near you – with his very own NBC sitcom. Culkin, whose recent big-screen effort, “Party Monster,” tanked at the box office, has signed a deal to create several NBC projects, including a sitcom set to air next fall, according to Variety.

The former child star, who rocketed to stardom in the 1990 movie comedy “Home Alone,” has already met with “Late Night” host Conan O’Brien about creating a sitcom for O’Brien’s production company, Conaco, according to Variety.

“I don’t think you’ll see Macaulay as a straight-down-the-middle romantic lead,” NBC development president Kevin Reilly told the trade publication.

“I think you’ll see him in something surprising, a little offbeat.”

Culkin, 23, has appeared on TV before playing himself in an episode of “This Morning” and “The Equalizer,” both when he was 8 back in 1988). More recently, however, he appeared on “Will & Grace,” “Frasier” (as a voice), and “Saturday Night Live.” Culkin’s big break came in “Home Alone,” where he played a precocious kid – accidentally left behind by his parents on a family trip to Europe – who foils a pair of would-be burglars trying to break into his suburban house.

Since then, Culkin’s career has been checkered at best. He’s set to appear on the big screen next year in “Saved.”
