Wilson seems to have been taking some time off after being replaced on executive producer Lorne Michael's latest television project.

Deadline reported in late August that Wilson was replaced in the TBS show Miracle Workers by Steve Buscemi.

Created by Simon Rich, the first season of Miracle Workers will be a heaven-set workplace comedy based on Rich's book What in God's Name and also stars Daniel Radcliffe.
