Recent Emmy winner Kenan Thompson might be leaving SNL to star in his own NBC comedy series.

Variety reports the series would be titled Saving Larry and would be "a single-camera comedy in which Thomson would star as a dad who has to be both mother and father to his kids after his wife dies. And he has to do it all with his father-in-law hovering over him."

Other executive producers include Jackie Chan, Lorne Michaels and Andrew Singer. Chan will also work as a writer for the show.
