7 The Daily Star, Oneonta, N.Y., Friday, May 19, 2017 By Andrew Warren TV Media The best medicine: NBC's annual charity event is back for another fundraiser, and this year it's bigger than ever be- fore. Red Nose Day, an event that uses good-natured humor to encourage people to open their hearts and donate to the non-profit charity Comic Relief Inc., returns to the peacock network Thursday, May 25. This is the third year that NBC has hosted the event, and this time some of the net- work's hit shows are joining in. On top of the much-anticipat- ed "Love Actually" (2003) re- union bit — starring Hugh Grant ("About a Boy," 2002), Martine McCutcheon ("East- Enders"), Kiera Knightly ("Pi- rates of the Caribbean," 2003) and the rest of the beloved cast — a special episode of "American Ninja Warrior" is staged for the fundraiser. The show's notoriously difficult ob- stacle course is attempted by celebrities who take on the crazy challenge for charity: Stephen Amell ("Arrow"), Nat- alie Morales ("Access Holly- wood"), Erika Christensen ("Parenthood") and Olympic gold medalist Ashton Eaton are just a few of the famous people giving it a shot. Not to worry, though — they're all paired up with an elite "ninja" to help coach them through the obstacles. Next up, Oscar-winning ac- tress Julia Roberts ("Notting Hill," 1999) heads into the un- tamed heart of Africa with a legendary outdoorsman in a special episode of "Running Wild With Bear Grylls." Togeth- er, Roberts and Grylls visit Ke- nya to deliver life-saving vac- cines to a remote village, but with the clock ticking down to the vaccines' expiration date, they risk encounters with deadly hippos and crocodiles as they travel swiftly across the landscape with their pre- cious cargo. The night's main event, though, is the "Red Nose Day Special." Hosted by Chris Hardwick ("The Wall") and featuring a number of kind- hearted celebrities, the pro- duction is a mix of musical per- formances, charming short films and hilarious comedy acts that highlight the plight of some of the world's most des- titute children. Although it only launched in America in 2015, Red Nose Day has already raised more than $60 million. Supporters of the cause are encouraged to wear red noses on May 25, with Walgreens and Duane Reade partnering with the charity to supply them. Chart toppers: It's a fre- quent gripe of radio listeners that top-40 radio stations just play the same songs over and over again, but there's a good reason for that: They're popu- lar, and that's what the majori- ty of music fans want to hear. For an up-and-coming artist (or a more established one, for that matter), that radio popu- larity can even translate into some pretty big awards. The 2017 edition of the an- nual Billboard Music Awards airs Sunday, May 21, on ABC. Unlike, say, the Grammy Awards, the Billboard finalists are chosen based on a series of objective metrics that measure fan interaction with music, in- cluding airplay on radio sta- tions, album and digital song sales, streaming, and even the level of success of an artist's tours. The result is an awards cere- mony that recognizes the mu- sic that people have been lis- tening to over the past year, in a variety of genres, with big names such as Drake, Rihanna, Twenty One Pilots and The Chainsmokers dominating the nominations. Drake and The Chainsmokers lead the pack with 22 nominations each. As always, the Top Artist cat- egory is one of the most com- petitive, with Justin Bieber, Be- yoncé, Adele, Drake, The Chainsmokers, Ariana Grande, Rihanna, Shawn Mendes, The Weeknd and Twenty One Pi- lots all competing for the honor.

Political analysts say that we are still in President Trump's "honeymoon" phase. Which may account for that feeling that we're being repeatedly screwed. The Tonight Show With Jimmy Fallon This weekend was the big March for Science, and there were a lot of animal rights activists protesting Trump's policies on endangered species. Trump was like: "I love endangered species! That's why I refuse to drink the new Unicorn Frappuccino at Starbucks!" The Late Show With Stephen Colbert Ivanka spoke on a panel titled "Inspiring Women: Scaling Up Women's Entrepreneurship." And the Trump family has a long history of inspiring women — to march, to sue, to flee from a dressing room. The Late Late Show With James Corden On Sunday, Trump blamed Democrats for not wanting to fund the border wall, which he claims Mexico will be paying for "in some form" and "at a later date." In some form — what form? Like they can just buy us a round of beers? late laughs Eastern Travel 3 x 5 S-SIDNEY O-ONEONTA C-COBLESKILL All Prices Are Per Person Double Occupancy May 20 New York City Free Day ................................................................. $58 May 25 "Off to the Yellow Brick Casino" ..................................................... $42 May 27 New York City Free Day ................................................................. $58 May 28 "Bronx Zoo: Fun for All Ages" .........................
