of TV, [Comic Relief](https://www.comicrelief.com/): Funny for Money, will include
sketches, live performances, surprises and prizes. At 10pm it will move over to 
BBC Two for more skits and musical guests in Comic Relief: More Funny for Money,
before returning to BBC One at 10:40pm for a special tribute show, Comic Relief:
A Whole Lotta Lenny, celebrating Sir Lenny Henry, hosted by Alex Jones.

Commenting on his last night, Sir Lenny Henry said:

> “While this will be my last year of presenting Red Nose Day, I’ll still be involved
> in other Comic Relief projects throughout the year. But I think it is time to 
> hand over the onscreen reins to some new names. This year the show is going to
> be chock-a-block full of content and all of your favourite presenters. It will
> probably be the best night of my life because it’s my last year hosting and I 
> know there’s going to be loads of surprises and fun in store. You have to tune
> in for that!”

As ever, the evening will highlight and raise funds for Comic Relief’s work in the
UK and around the world.
