NBC’s three-hour star-studded night of Red Nose Day programming will also include the second annual edition of Celebrity Ninja Warrior for Red Nose Day (featuring Zooey Deschanel) at 8 p.m. ET and a special episode of Hollywood Game Night airing at 9 p.m. ET.

The one-hour special will include Kelly Clarkson (here with Blake Shelton) visiting a local elementary school to celebrate students who are raising money for Red Nose Day, while helping them realize their power to make a difference and inspire positive change for children who are in need. Clarkson will visit a third-grade classroom, attend a Red Nose Day Rally, and participate in a student-run fair featuring fun and creative activities to raise funds for Red Nose Day. Clarkson and the kids will team up to shine a light on all of the amazing students who make a difference.

Other stars joining the special in support of the annual Red Nose Day charity campaign include Cedric the Entertainer, Sean Hayes, Jack Black, Jennifer Garner, Kristen Bell, Julia Roberts, Ed Sheeran, Marlon Wayans, Ellie Kemper, Tony Hale, Sasheer Zamata, Jane Lynch, Akbar Gbajabiamila, Matt Iseman, and Jack McBrayer.

Funds raised support programs in all 50 states, Puerto Rico, and some of the poorest communities internationally to ensure that children who are living in poverty are safe, healthy, and educated.

Supporters have long been able to purchase the campaign’s iconic red noses, but this year there’s also the Sparkle Red Nose, which is new and in recognition of raising over $100 million in just three years and helping over 8 million children in need.

Red Noses are on sale exclusively at Walgreens and Duane Reade locations nationwide. Over 8 million of the Red Noses have already been sold, with all profits from all sales benefitting Red Nose Day.

Run by the UK non-profit organization Comic Relief Inc., Red Nose Day USA is a campaign that recently spent an entire day raising funds for children in need. The focus of the day is to start by bringing happiness and laughter to those kids, and from there, create awareness that turns into donations to the cause.

The entire event was then broadcasted as a three-hour entertainment special on NBC, bringing in some of Hollywood’s top talent in singers, actors and comedians to encourage people to donate. All over the country, people went to their local Walgreens to buy little red noses and vendor partner products and then donated during the NBC special. Donations were spread between 12 different charities that help children in poverty, including Boys & Girls Clubs, Children’s Health Fund, National Council of La Raza, National Urban League, Save the Children, Oxfam America and more.

Now a little over six months after the event, the Red Nose Day Campaign is pleased to announce that they have raised over $23 million to help those in need! This money has been spread across all 50 states of the United States as well as 15 international countries. Even further, Red Nose Day helped to serve almost eight million meals to children in the U.S. through food banks.

You may remember the Coldplay musical with the cast of Game of Thrones and some of the comedy skits by Reese Witherspoon and Gwen Stefani, and other A-list celebrities.

But Red Nose Day is about more than just food. The funds raised also helped to educate over 200,000 American children to reading level and provided essential health care for 50,000 children and their families. And that’s just in the United States!

Internationally, funds raised from Red Nose Day supplied more than 170,000 essential and life-saving vaccinations to children in Africa and delivered clean water to over 30,000 children and their families all across Africa.

Richard Curtis, co-founder of Red Nose Day, was thrilled with the outcome. “I love the fact that this was all done by people having fun and being funny… I thank and salute everyone who played a part in making this happen and really look forward to next year,” he said of the event’s success.

The president of Red Nose Day USA, Paul Telegdy, added “It’s so wonderful to know that so many children will benefit because of what was achieved on the inaugural Red Nose Day. I can think of nothing better than to do it again next year and continue this worthwhile and important mission.”

The tremendous success of Red Nose Day means even more success for children that currently have to survive in poverty. Your donation today can help a child in need. To donate, click here.
