Jim Carrey in Kidding (2018)
With his beloved "Mr. Pickles' Puppet Time" off the air for the first time in 30 years, Jeff Pickles (Jim Carrey) must find a way to communicate with his many fans who still need him. Jeff creates a new and controversial method to talk directly to children across the world only to become the target of animosity for the first time in his career. As Jeff navigates the most complicated moral gray areas of his life, he discovers a new side of himself in a season full of music, magic, puppets and pathos.
