Workplace Comedy 'Thingstarter' to Debut May 19 and Travel Show Parody 'Hidden America with Jonah Ray' to Bow June 2
Seeso, the ad-free comedy streaming channel, will launch its next two scripted, comedies "Thingstarter" and '"Hidden American with Jonah Ray" May 19 and June 2, respectively.

Some of the products the show features include "iNotRacist," an app that awards points for doing "not racist" actions; "Terra Firma" a sleepy-time product for Paleo enthusiasts; and, "Revel" 'self-pleasure' wipes, among others. 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.
