Today, NBC announced that they're picking up a new series starring Kenan Thompson for the fall (creatively named The Kenan Show).

Oddly, that doesn't appear to mean that he'll be leaving SNL. Reports are that he'll remain a full cast member next season (he is already the longest-serving cast member, with this being his 16th season). At this point, no one seems to know how they'll pull this off.

Aidy Bryant made her show Shrill last year during the summer break (and will do a second season this summer), and Fred Armisen worked on Portlandia while still a cast member, but both of those shows had a small number of episodes. It's possible that Kenan's show will also have a reduced number of episodes (NBC already has The Good Place, which only does 10 episodes a season). If they end up doing a full 22 episode order, he'll be a very busy man.
