No its not, Kings Canyon is about another 75-90 minutes each way.
Not that the drive time is the issue. For a turnaround drive out to Yosemite I don't have to plan anything, pack anything, I'm not missing out on anything.
For Kings Canyon I wouldn't get there until noon on Saturday, everybody would probably be off doing some sightseeing until the late afternoon anyway. I'd have to pack food and set up camp. Then I'd have to leave by around noon the next day. A lot of trouble to essentially drop in on a party for 10 minutes.
