金·凯瑞将重回小荧屏,出演Showtime新半小时喜剧《开玩笑》(Kidding,暂译)。本剧由杰森·贝特曼任制片,由曾和凯瑞合作过[暖暖内含光]的米歇尔·贡德里担任导演。故事聚焦在儿童节目主持人杰夫(凯瑞饰)身上。他是所有孩子心中的偶像,但在现实生活中,杰夫却深陷于来自家庭的重压之中,无法自拔。这将凯瑞自1990年剧集《生动的颜色》后首次出演美剧。Jeff, aka Mr. Pickles, is an icon of children's television, a beacon of kindness and wisdom to America's impressionable young minds and the parents who grew up with him - who also anchors a multimillion-dollar branding empire. But when this beloved personality's family - wife, two sons, sister and father - begins to implode, Jeff finds no fairy tale or fable or puppet will guide him through the crisis, which advances faster than his means to cope. The result: a kind man in a cruel world faces a slow leak of sanity as hilarious as it is heartbreaking.
