There’s something really special about the combination of American Ninja Warrior and Red Nose Day, a day of fundraising for children all over the world.
As Richard Curtis, co-founder and co-producer of Red Nose Day put it:
For Red Nose Day, fans will get to see some of their favorite celebrities take on the course. It’s the perfect combination of something fans have been asking for, and a really great cause.
These teaser photos for Celebrity Ninja Warrior totally capture the joy and fun we can look forward to seeing on May 25.
We all know who this guy is at this point. (It’s Stephen Amell of the show “Arrow.” Fans have demanded to see him on the show for quite awhile.)
