"NBC SPECIALS"

"RED NOSE DAY" ORIGINAL

05/25/2017 (10:00PM - 11:00PM) (Thursday) : A star-studded cast of Hollywood favorites is coming together to have fun, raise money and change the lives of kids in need in NBC's third annual "Red Nose Day Special." Chris Hardwick hosts the one-hour special featuring great comedy, music and compelling films shedding light on kids in need. The special includes the much-anticipated "Red Nose Day Actually," a short "Love Actually" reunion film bringing together the cast of the beloved holiday movie, including Hugh Grant, Colin Firth, Keira Knightley, Liam Neeson, Bill Nighy and Andrew Lincoln. Poignantly capturing the dire challenges some children are faced with internationally, Academy Award-winning actress Julia Roberts will travel to Nairobi, Kenya to visit one of Africa's largest slums and an overcrowded hospital full of serious cases, most of which are entirely preventable with vaccines that cost as little as $5. Red Nose Day launched in America in 2015 and, with generous support from millions of Americans and many outstanding partners, has raised more than $60 million in its first two years in the U.S. to help kids stay safe, healthy and educated in the U.S. and in some of the poorest communities in the world.
