Learn MoreYou might know Chris Hardwick from his late night show and hit podcasts, but did you know that he’s also a bona fide expert on Red Nose Day? Read on for quotes that prove it.
“This is not a political issue. It’s a human issue. Any time a child is hungry or feels unloved or is not taken care of, that’s a crime against nature.”
If you’re reading this, you already know that Red Nose Day is on a mission to end child poverty. So, of course, we couldn’t agree more! That’s why the money donated by amazing people like you goes to help children in America and around the world.

“One of the things that [celebrities] can do with the gift that we’re given by having these megaphones is to help build awareness for things that people should be aware of and be paying attention to.”
From the moment we launched Red Nose Day in 1988, we’ve used the power of entertainment to drive positive change. So, Chris, you nailed it again. Hundreds of celebrities have worn the iconic Red Nose over the years, including Julia Roberts, Elton John, and even members of the Royal Family. Megaphones don’t get much bigger than that.
“I can’t think of many causes that are as universal and as pressing as children.”
This is why we get out of bed in the morning. No child chooses to be hungry or homeless. Money raised through Red Nose Day supports programs that keep children safe, healthy, and educated. So go donate now if you weren’t already on your way to clicking that big red button. We’ll wait.
“They do such a great job putting the show together and so many people jump onboard and want to play around, so the special itself has a really nice range of emotions.”
We must be the luckiest charity in the world, because every year NBC throws a special night of programming to celebrate Red Nose Day. From Hollywood Game Night to American Ninja Warrior to the Red Nose Day Special, you’re guaranteed to have a good time. We know we do.

“It’s really fun and it doesn’t take itself too seriously.”
If you made it this far, you know that Red Nose Day is all about helping others while having a good time. When Chris Hardwick opened last year’s show with a very graceful slip, the hosts of American Ninja Warrior followed it up with a detailed play-by-play. That’s the kind of action you can expect, so be sure to watch NBC on Thursday, May 24 to find out what happens next!
