It was Sir Lenny Henry’s final stint hosting Red Nose Day after almost four decades at the helm.
The comedian and actor, 65, co-founded Comic Relief in 1985 alongside Love Actually screenwriter Richard Curtis and will continue to serve as life president.
Sir Lenny said: ‘The money that people have sent in repeatedly, every single time, has helped over 100 million people.
‘That’s a lot of people and there aren’t many organisations that can say that.’
He added: ‘If you’ve helped to do that, thank you and it’s not about numbers any more.
‘It’s about what you feel you can give because we know that there’s a struggle going on at the moment. People are having hard times.’

Lenny has been dating theatre director Lisa Makin for over a decade since his marriage to Dawn French ended in divorce.
Money raised by Red Nose Day goes towards organisations helping to tackle homelessness, poverty and mental health along with other causes in the UK and throughout the world.
There were tributes to Sir Lenny from singer Jerub, while the cast of spoof comedy series W1A – including Downton Abbey star Hugh Bonneville and Spaced actress Jessica Hynes – reunited on the night to search for a new host.
Fans were also delighted with star-studded spoof The Traitors: The Movie on Friday night starring Jonathan Bailey as Harry Clark and Suranne Jones as Claudia Winkleman.
Hollywood stars Julia Roberts, Paul Rudd, Hugh Grant, Olivia Colman and more also made surprise appearances on the night.
After Comic Relief wrapped, an hour-long special called A Whole Lot Of Lenny aired showing the journey of the famous comedian, 65.
Beginning at the Shaftesbury Theatre in 1986, viewers got a look into the huge amount of work that went into putting on the show year after year.
Lenny sat down with Alex Jones and recalled some of the best Comic Relief moments, as chosen by viewers of The One Show, which Alex, 46, hosts.
They included: Lenny in Luther, Lenny v Tom Jones, and Lenny v Frank Bruno.
He ended the show by revealing how much money Comic Relief had raised since its inception in 1988.
The figure elicited gasps and cheers from the audience as well as confetti on stage: £1,602,539,154.
