Kenan & Kel star and Saturday Night Live cast member Kenan Thompson is releasing his own sitcom next month.
Kenan will air on NBC in mid-February, focusing on Thompson as he plays a single dad raising two kids.
The official synopsis for Kenan reads: “Raising two kids is a three-man job in this unconventional family comedy.
“Kenan Thompson stars as a single dad who’s trying to balance his career as the host of a popular morning show in Atlanta with raising his two spirited daughters – and while his father-in-law Rick (Don Johnson) and his brother Gary (SNL’s Chris Redd) always try to ‘help’, they usually find a way to make things a whole lot harder!”
