John Legend is working on a sitcom based on his high school years.

The 'All of Me' hitmaker has revealed his plans to adapt his own life experiences into a television comedy, and he admitted skipping ahead left him in an unusual situation.

He told 'Extra' he grew up in the church and was skipped a couple of grades, so by the time he got to high school, his first public high school experience was as a 12 year old when most of his peers were 14.

He added there's a lot of comedy in his childhood and his teenage years and he is going to try and mine that for a sitcom. He then revealed the show is being developed right now and he is excited for it.
