In the video Kendrick is playing the titular character, now Indianna, in a “female reboot” of the popular film (because _Ghostbusters_ made that a thing). Kendrick appears in the famous Grail Room scene from _Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade_​, in which Indie must choose _wisely_ which cup is really the Holy Grail or face certain death. Kendrick is being warned by the Templar Knight, who has been chilling in there for 700 years, or, since way back when saying things like “such a plain cup for such a pretty lady” wouldn’t get you a whip in the face. NBC’s Red Nose Day special will air live on Thursday, May 21 at 8 p.m. ET/7 p.m. CT.
