It's one of the biggest sporting events in America and is one of the most watched in the whole world. The Super Bowl takes place this Sunday and viewers might well see some familiar names pop up.
Red Nose Day USA will have a moment in the pre-game show, to tell audiences that Red Nose Day is coming to America.
NBC will be hosting a three-hour entertainment TV special in 2015, as a celebration for the first Red Nose Day event in the US.
It will feature superstar presenters and comedians, original sketch comedy, hilarious film parodies and amazing musical performances.
In addition it will also highlight the poverty-related issues for which Red Nose Day USA is fundraising.
Richard Curtis will serve as an executive producer for the NBC telecast.
"For many years I have dreamt of bringing Red Nose Day to the US and I am so excited that we have teamed up with NBC, who will do such a brilliant job on this," he said.
"Experience has taught me how extraordinarily compassionate and generous Americans can be, and I’ve lived my life in awe of American comedy talent.
"So putting those two things together will, I hope, create an amazing event that will really make a massive difference to the lives of millions of children and their families in the US and in the poorest communities around the world.”
Red Nose Day USA is run by Comic Relief Inc. which is an independent sister organization of Comic Relief UK.
Comic Relief Inc. and Comic Relief UK are independent organizations related through their shared vision of a just world, free from poverty; and with the same mission to effect positive change through the power of entertainment.
