From what I heard on A&E Biography, Jim Carey hated this show. He was frustrated at being typecast as a straight man and wanted to cut loose like in his standup routines. The show looked like it would give him that opportunity, but once again he was stuck in the same role, while everyone else around him got to go nuts.
I think this even pre-dates In Living Color, where many people remember Carrey from (at first)--on that show he was billed as James Carrey, I believe. I also remember him being in Earth Girls are Easy. Don Messick (in the cast) was the voice of many cartoon characters including Boo Boo, Scooby Doo, Atom Ant, etc
@foxvermont This programme pre-dated "ILC" by quite a bit: it premiered in April of '84 on NBC and was on in the Thurs. 9:30 slot right after "Cheers".
I saw a really rude nomination Jim got. For being one of the worst in the beginning of GENERAL ACTING CAREER, and stupidity for the tweet on Valentine`s day. Your losing some of us Jim, but the true fans would look at the bullshit from others, and focus on your caring heart, and warm emotion we get from you from either interviews or movies.
I used to watch this show on Comedy Central about 15 years ago, didn't the black guy's father want him to be a dentist, but he wanted to be a cartoonist?

idk i just watched this for like 2 miniuets and then i went back to watching wall-e online. its the best animated movie ive seen last and this year. i love it i will watch it again later
In my opinion this is the best thing Jim Carrey has done. To bad the show didn't last long.

Remember when Jim Carrey was a funny actor and not an anti-vaccine whackjob?

I learned about this show by reading Ron Jeremy's book. The ol' Hedgehog and Carrey were good friends at the begining of his comedy career.
