NBC’s star-studded night of Red Nose Day programming on May 24 kicks off with the second annual edition of “Celebrity Ninja Warrior for Red Nose Day” at 7 p.m., followed by a special episode of “Hollywood Game Night” at 8 p.m. and “The Red Nose Day Special’ at 9 p.m.
 
Red Nose Day is all about coming together to have fun and make a difference - helping to end child poverty, one nose at a time. Funds raised for Red Nose Day support programs that keep children safe, healthy and educated in all 50 states, Puerto Rico and some of the poorest communities in Latin America, Africa and Asia. Red Nose Day started in the U.K., built on the foundation that the power of entertainment can drive positive change, and has raised over $1 billion since 1988. Since launching in the U.S. in 2015, Red Nose Day has raised over $100 million, which has positively impacted more than 8.3 million children.  For more information about Red Nose Day, visit rednoseday.org.
 
It’s easy to support Red Nose Day!  People can buy their $1 Red Nose at Walgreens/Duane Reade locations nationwide, organize fundraising events at school, at work or in their communities, and watch and donate during NBC’s star-studded night of special programming.
