'Kidding' Season 2 Episode 5: Ariana Grande's role as Piccola sees fans call the episode 'truly special'
Spoiler alert for Season 2 'Kidding'
Two episodes of 'Kidding' aired and as usual fans were obsessed with the sweet sensitive nature of the show. Fans were especially thrilled with episode 5 titled, 'EPISODE #3101' as it showcased the sensitive topic of divorce using the amusing narrative of puppets and Piccola Grande played by Ariana Grande.
As said in the review, the entire episode was the first episode of Season 31 of Mr Pickles’ Puppet Time and not only did it teach children about change and dealing with it, but Jeff Piccirillo (Jim Carrey) gets closure with Jill (Judy Greer) and signs the divorce papers. With the puppets rightly upset about leaving their home and diving into the unknown, Piccola Grande (Ariana Grande) soothes their anxiety with a beautiful number on how hope can help one move forward.
"I gotta admit this episode of #Kidding with @ArianaGrande was by far my favorite episode this entire season! She sung these songs so beautifully! #picklefairyofhope," tweeted an enthusiastic fan. "I can’t say enough good things about #Kidding. This show is amazing & if you aren’t watching it, you’re missing something truly special. Plus @ArianaGrande is the coolest. @SHOKidding," tweeted another happy fan.
As Jeff struggles to finalize his divorce from his wife Jill and Deirdre Piccirillo loses the ownership of the puppets to her vile husband Scott Perera (Bernard White) during their divorce mediation, it was time for goodbyes. This episode showcased the fan-favorite puppets saying goodbye to Pickle Barrel Falls, the only home they've known and moved on into the "I don't know" part of their life.
This was an episode that brought on tears with great consolation and fans tried to hold back to no avail, thanks to Ms Grande. "I didn't feel like crying, but as soon as she started singing the tears just started flowing, you know #mkt343 #kidding #ArianaGrande," tweeted a fan. Fans continued to support Grande on the small screen with another fan tweeting, "Ariana was so adorable and wonderful on Jim Carrey's show! The songs she sang were so cute and it was so nice to see her acting again. #ArianaGrande #Kidding #ArianaOnKidding."
Her addition to an already talented cast was highlighted when Carrey sang with her with fans tweeting our exact sentiments, "I’m gonna need that Ariana & Jim duet from @SHOKidding #Kidding on itunes/spotify asap. cuz it was beautiful!"
'Kidding' Season 2 airs on Sundays at 10 pm EST on Showtime.
