The Entire First Episode of Jim Carrey’s Kidding is Now Online
Imagine if Mr. Rogers had a mental breakdown in the modern era of social media. That;s essentially the premise behind Jim Carrey’s Kidding, a new dark comedy coming to Showtime. While Showtime is planning to officially premiere the series on Sunday, September 9, the network has dropped Kidding early. The first episode of the series is now live on Showtime’s official site, Facebook, and YouTube. You can watch the entire episode at the bottom of this post!
Within the series, Carrey is playing Jeff, but he’s better known to generations of kids as Mr. Pickles. For decades, Mr. Pickles has hosted a children’s show where he taught viewers lessons of love and kindness. However, those virtues won’t save Jeff when his family life becomes a personal crisis. It’s a cruel world, and none of Jeff’s make believe coping tactics can help him maintain his sanity. Jeff’s kindness is killing him, and he’s going insane in front of our eyes.

Kidding was created by Dave Holstein, who executive produces the series with Carey, Michel Gondry, Jason Bateman, and others.
