American comedian and actor Jim Carrey has been chosen to star in the new television series ‘Kidding’.
Carrey will return to the TV screen in a half-hour comedy titled ‘Kidding’, where he plays Jeff, a.k.a. Mr. Pickles, who is a famous character of children’s television.
“No one inhabits a character like Jim Carrey, and this role... is going to leave television audiences wondering how they went so long without him,” said David Nevins, CEO of the host channel.
A 10-episode order needs to be filled up for the first season of the series.
The comedian last performed on television in the 1990’s sketch-comedy show ‘In Living Color’.
Carrey remains one of the most popular performers of all time, having starred in blockbusters such as ‘Ace Ventura: Pet Detective’, ‘Dumb and Dumber’ and ‘The Truman Show’.
