Seeso, NBCUniversal Digital Enterprise's new ad-free streaming comedy channel, has declared Sunday, February 21 the "Day of Ha" - and is celebrating by giving all viewers 24 hours to stream more than 70 hours' worth of comedy, totally free. Beginning at 12:01am on the "Day of Ha," comedy fans will have the opportunity to watch the hotly-anticipated "Bajillion Dollar Propertie$," nearly a month before its March 17 premiere date.

During "Day Of Ha," viewers also will have the opportunity to catch the entire first seasons of current Seeso series "The UCB Show," "Dave & Ethan's Lovemakers," "Before The Morning After," and "Sammy J & Randy," as well as the upcoming "The Amazing Gayl Pile," for free, without a subscription OR credit card required.

Two weeks after the last NFL game of the season, one week after Valentine's Day and deep in the middle of the Winter Doldrums, Seeso's "Day of Ha" is a celebration of all things funny, a ha-liday when people can turn their frowns upside down, drop the pretense of productivity, and spend an entire day streaming and laughing. Seeso has done all the work, pre-curating great comedy, with specific "Day of Ha" playlists with help from "Bajillion Dollar Propertie$" showrunner, and "Who Charted" Podcast Host, Kulap Vilaysack.
