Coldplay Does a “Game of Thrones” For Red Nose Day

If there was a Green Day musical, is it so crazy to think that a Game of Thrones musical would happen?

For the big charity event Red Nose Day, Coldplay, the cast of Game of Thrones, and Liam Neeson’s voice all came together for this bit of fun of making a parody musical of Game of Thrones.

Whether this musical ends up being a case of life imitating art or not has yet to be seen, but, for now, you can enjoy this faux-self aware version.

Looks like Chris Pratt shouldn’t be the only one considered for the new torch bearer of the Indiana Jones franchise.

One of the sketches from NBC’s upcoming variety charity special, this Thursday, Red Nose Day puts Anna Kendrick in a leather jacket and fedora as Indianna Jones.

Considering Pitch Perfect 2 beat out Mad Max: Fury Road at the box office this weekend, is this such a crazy idea?

Also, Brett Gelman playing an ancient knight is pretty great too.

Pardcast-a-thon helps cleft palates, Night of Too Many Stars helps autism programs, and NBC’s Red Nose Day will help fight child poverty.

Next Thurs., NBC’s primetime block will be dedicated to a star-studded live charity events which will feature appearances by Will Ferrell, Neil Patrick Harris, John Krasinski, Emily Blunt, Jack Black, Julia Roberts, and Jennifer Aniston just to name a few as well as segments from Funny or Die.

Several charity organizations focused on giving aid to children living in poverty throughout the world will be benefitted from this night. 

We wonder if they’ll have a celebrity filled phone bank like Night of Too Many Stars. Catch Red Nose Day on NBC, Thurs. May 21st 8PM EST.

The gigantic UK comedy fundraiser known as Red Nose Day is making its way stateside, specifically to NBC with the help of Comic Relief and Funny or Die.

Featuring sketches, stand-up, and more from, undoubtedly, the biggest names possible, there will be a three hour show that will raise money for big charities. The names of performers and charities have yet to be announced, but Red Nose Day has been noted for raising over a $1 billion in donations.

Looks like they don’t need an old school telethon to run through the wee hours of the morning. We’ll see what they’ll pull off when the show goes down next spring.
