A Night of Comic Relief 2

From Muppet Wiki

Comic Relief is a British charity organization that was founded in response to famine in Ethiopia. It currently raises money for countries in Africa and for disadvantaged people of the UK.

The organization raises money through a star-studded telethon on BBC 1. The event is held in the spring with the television event starting in the evening and going through into the early hours of the morning.

The second Comic Relief telethon, titled A Night of Comic Relief 2, aired on March 10, 1989.

Dog (played by Brian Henson) from Jim Henson's The StoryTeller appeared in a live comedy bit during the 1989 telethon. The telethon concluded with Lenny Henry, Griff Rhys Jones, Jonathan Ross, and the dog tucking themselves into a giant bed to watch an hour's worth of The Young Ones and Monty Python's Flying Circus.
