Macy and Golden Globe(R) nominee Emmy Rossum, premiering on Sunday, September 9 at 9 p.m. ET/PT, followed by the series premiere of the new half-hour comedy series KIDDING, starring Golden Globe(R) winner Jim Carrey in his first series regular role in more than two decades and reuniting him with Oscar winner Michel Gondry (Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind), at 10 p.m. ET/PT. KIDDING centers on Jeff, aka Mr. Pickles (Carrey), an icon of children's television and a beacon of kindness and wisdom to America's impressionable young minds and the parents who grew up with him. But when this beloved personality's family begins to implode, Jeff finds no fairytale, fable or puppet will guide him through this crisis, which advances faster than his means to cope.

The series also stars Oscar(R), Emmy(R) and Golden Globe nominee Frank Langella (Frost/Nixon), Oscar, Emmy and Golden Globe nominee Catherine Keener (Get Out) and Judy Greer (Married). Throughout the season, Jeff begins to push back against the limits of the well-oiled machine that is "Mr. Pickles' Puppet Time," and of his executive producer, Seb (Langella). Seb fears Jeff's mental state could ruin the branding empire they've built, and thus begins preparing the show for a life after Jeff, while Deirdre (Keener), the head puppet maker, grapples with her own personal and professional life issues. Greer stars as Jeff's estranged wife and their son is played by Cole Allen. Guest stars include Justin Kirk (WEEDS) and Ginger Gonzaga (I'M DYING UP HERE). KIDDING was created and is executive produced by Dave Holstein (WEEDS, Raising Hope), who wrote the pilot and will serve as showrunner.

The six-episode series begins with an hour-long episode, followed by five half-hour episodes in the subsequent weeks. The cinematic docu-drama follows Ashlee Simpson-Ross and Evan Ross as they juggle their lives as soul mates, parents, musicians and artists. With the addition of their eclectic group of friends and famous family who fill their abode with laughter and love, there's never a dull moment in this young duo's household. The non-stop life of Ashlee and Evan will showcase the modern day millennial renaissance couple raising a family while building on a burgeoning career. The series follows the pair and their tight-knit group of lifelong friends, sharing the couples' creative process as they write and record their first duet album of soulful, authentic and reflective music. As a young woman who has been focused on raising two children, Ashlee is cautious about jumping back into the music world. However, she's amped to record with her actor/artist husband, and Evan would have it no other way. The expressive couple is inspired to spread the love and share their unique gift to the world while raising children in Los Angeles, being interrupted by well-meaning friends and family and prioritizing family time coast to coast from sunny Palm Springs to Evan's childhood home in Connecticut. Although this next phase of their life together will be filled with excitement and uncertainty, the couples' determination and unwavering support of one another ensures they'll be able to get it all done together. For much of their lives, Ashlee and Evan have been in the spotlight. One of the biggest names in pop music in the early 2000s, Ashlee Simpson took the music industry by storm with her hit album, "Autobiography." In addition to her successful career in film, television, and theatre, Ashlee took some time off in 2009 after becoming a full- time mom to son Bronx, now nine. After a chance meeting with musician, film and television actor Evan Ross in 2013 followed by whirlwind romance, Ashlee and Evan tied the knot in 2014 and welcomed their daughter Jagger Snow later that year. Their recent ventures also include a unisex clothing capsule line with Zadig & Voltaire they have conceived and designed named after their daughter Jagger Snow.

From Apprentice outtakes and Miss Universe footage all the way to the infamous "Russian Dossier" tape.

That man is actor-comedian Tom Arnold, who is taking his activism off Twitter and putting it into real life. VICELAND begins production on a new series THE HUNT FOR THE TRUMP TAPES with TOM ARNOLD today with Arnold's announcement on SIRIUS XM's The Howard Stern Show, where hours of Trump interview tapes also reside.

(from FOX's press release, May 2018) From executive producer Charlie Day ("It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia") and starring Tony Award nominee David Alan Grier ("The Carmichael Show," "In Living Color"), Emmy Award nominee Martin Mull ("Veep", "Roseanne"), Emmy Award winner Leslie Jordan ("Will and Grace," "American Horror Story") and Emmy Award winner Vicki Lawrence ("Mama's Family," "The Carol Burnett Show"), THE COOL KIDS is a multi-camera comedy about a rag-tag group of friends living in a retirement community who are willing to break every rule in order to have fun - because, at their age, what do they really have to lose. HANK (Grier) is the leader of this motley crew, a gruff, opinionated, 21st century Archie Bunker who will go to any lengths to have a good time. His loyal, but less than helpful, friends include CHARLIE (Mull), a bumbling storyteller who constantly goes off on tangents about some bizarre, barely believable episode from his life; and SID (Jordan), a naysaying, pill-popping hypochondriac who shoots down every scheme, but still gets roped in. Complicating matters is MARGARET (Lawrence), a brash, confident woman who forces her way into their group and refuses to leave because she's not going to take crap from anyone - especially not these three. But what unites them all is their shared belief that they're not done yet - not by a long shot. Growing old with dignity is for chumps. Our self-proclaimed "cool kids" are determined to make the third act of the lives the craziest one yet.
