Kidding tells the story of children’s television icon Jeff Piccirillo, who’s been hosting television program Mr. Pickles’ Puppet Time for three decades. Grande appears in this fictional show in the role of Piccola Grande, the Pickle Fairy of Hope.

Grande, who already has a lot of acting experience thanks to her breakthrough role in Victorious, announced she’ll appear on Kidding back in August and said she had a great time working alongside her childhood idol Jim Carrey.

“Nothing is crazier than getting to work with and spend time with someone whom you’ve idolized and adored since before you could speak. Actually, what’s even crazier is discovering that person to be more special and warm and generous in person than you ever could’ve imagined,” wrote Grande on Instagram.
