The six episode series will be available on Seeso May 19.
The Bourdain-esque travel show, "Hidden America with Jonah Ray," features Jonah Ray traveling to major US cities, including Boston, Chicago, Seattle, San Francisco, New Orleans, Los Angeles, Denver, Atlanta, and Austin, and some of the biggest names in comedy. The nine episode series will premiere June 2.
