The 55-year-old star, who has not appeared in a sitcom since the end of "Derek" in 2014, says he has "written five pages" of a new show about a man who is forced to move in with an "absolute loser relative", according to The Hollywood Reporter.
"I had five projects which I have narrowed down to one sitcom. I have written five pages. I shouldn't say but the idea is I get separated from my wife and I have to move in with an absolute loser relative.
The star, however, says the audience will have to wait for the sitcom as he is too "obsessed" with stand-up comedy to think about anything else right now.
