Kenan Thompson is teaming with Lorne Michaels for an NBC sitcom pilot — opening up the possibility he could leave “Saturday Night Live” after a 10-year run.
Thompson is working with Michaels on the sitcom, in which he would play a guy who moves from New York City to his in-laws’ house in the suburbs, according to reports.
“It’s in the early stages and there’s no way to guess his future on ‘SNL,’ ” a source said.
Michaels, the longtime executive producer of “SNL” — who’s not leaving the show — would handle the same duties on Thompson’s sitcom.
Thompson is a featured performer on “SNL,” where he’s best known for the sketch, “What Up With That?”
Before “SNL,” he teamed with Kel Mitchell on Nick’s “Kenan and Kel.”
