The return of Jim Carrey

Jim Carrey has returned to television, after an absence of 20 years, to star in a new Showtime comedy entitled Kidding. He plays Jeff, a.k.a. Mr. Pickles, “an icon of children’s television”, who also “owns a multimillion dollar branding empire.” The broadcast date for Kidding has not yet been announced, but what we do know is it will reunite Jim Carrey with French director Michel Gondry, who he previously worked with on Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind thirteen years ago. Welcome back Jim!
