Kenan Thompson to juggle between SNL and new NBC comedy series

Kenan Thompson went on to make a name for himself as one of the regular cast members of Saturday Night Live (Or SNL) post his stint on the hit Nickelodeon show, Kenan and Kel. But now, it would appear as if Kenan Thompson will be seen returning to the realm of sitcoms with a show titled Kenan, but, he will be reportedly equally involved an invested in the activities related to the eponymous weekly sketch show. As per a report on The Hollywood Reporter, the SNL sketch artist/writer will be seen juggling between the two shows. The schedule timings will be adjusted accordingly in order to accommodate both of Thompson's commitments, for whom he will have to keep flying to and from New York City, which is home to the famed Rockefeller Center (Where SNL is filmed) and the LA-based studio where Kenan will be filmed presumably in front of a live audience.

As per the very same report, Thompson was quoted sharing that he and Chris Redd, who is his co-star on the show, have only pulled off this feat once thus far and will take a call in the future if Kenan is given a continuation or season renewal order by the network. On the subject of juggling between the two, the actor/comedian was quoted saying that he was of the opinion that as long as he can, he should be able to adhere to two jobs at the same time. Additionally, he was also quoted saying that if departure feels like a natural occurrence to him, he will accept it.
