Showtime has cast Golden Globe winner Jim Carrey, in his first series regular role in more than two decades with Oscar, Emmy(R) and Golden Globe(R) nominee Catherine Keener (Get Out) have been cast in the upcoming SHOWTIME half-hour comedy KIDDING.<\/p>\n

In KIDDING, Carrey plays Jeff, aka Mr. Pickles, an icon of children’s television, a beacon of kindness and wisdom to America’s impressionable young minds and the parents who grew up with him – who also anchors a multimillion-dollar branding empire. But when this beloved personality’s family – wife, two sons, sister, and father – begins to implode, Jeff finds no fairy tale or fable or puppet will guide him through this crisis, which advances faster than his means to cope. The result: A kind man in a cruel world faces a slow leak of sanity as hilarious as it is heartbreaking.<\/p>
