Ariana Grande plays Piccola Grande, the Pickle Fairy of Hope. Tyler, The Creator plays Cornell, someone who works at a nostalgia therapy center. Blake Griffin plays himself and a potential romantic interest for one of the show's stars. Dick Van Dyke is THE VOICE of Hopskotch the Sasquatch, the giant puppet who's so large we only see his legs. Mae Whitman plays Chloe, an employee at a medical marijuana dispensary who likes to watch Puppet Time when she's high.

Jim Carrey returns to KIDDING in his Golden Globe nominated performance as the iconic children's television host, Jeff Pickles. The second season picks up moments after season one's cliffhanger, and with his beloved Mr. Pickles' Puppet Time off the air for the first time in 30 years, Jeff 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. In addition to Carrey and Greer (Married), the series also stars Oscar, Emmy and Golden Globe nominee Frank Langella (Frost/Nixon), Oscar, Emmy, Cole Allen, Juliet Morris, Justin Kirk (WEEDS) and and Golden Globe nominee Catherine Keener (Get Out). KIDDING is executive produced by Carrey, Dave Holstein, Michel Gondry, Raffi Adlan, Michael Aguilar, Roberto Benabib, Emmy nominee Jason Bateman and Jim Garavente.
