The comedian hosted his final Red Nose Day last year after almost four decades at the helm.
Sir Lenny Henry reflected on Comic Relief's 40th anniversary during Red Nose Day, highlighting its origins in response to the East African famine and its expansion to include Sport Relief and malaria aid. Henry, who co-founded the charity in 1985 and hosted his final Red Nose Day last year, urged continued support. Comic Relief has raised over £1.6 billion, supporting over 100 million people.
