NBC GRANTS WISHES IN NEW REALITY PILOT/SPECIAL 'THREE WISHES,' STARRING
AMY!
Multiple Grammy-winning Recording Artist to Make Unbelievable Dreams Come
True in Heartwarming New Series.
It is with great excitement that we are able to make the following
announcement:
NBC will be making "Three Wishes" come true in a new special/backdoor
pilot
starring five-time Grammy-winning artist Amy Grant in an unscripted format
in which Grant will lead a team of experts to a small town to help make
the
hopes and unbelievable dreams come true for deserving people.
"Everyone secretly wants the chance to fulfill a lifelong wish that seems
beyond their grasp -- and this show will help transform those dreams into
a
life-changing reality," said Jeff Gaspin, President, NBC Universal Cable
Entertainment & Cross-Platform Strategy, who made the announcement.
The full spectrum of wishes ranges from paying tribute to an unsung hero
to
helping a hopeless family in the grip of a member's life-threatening
medical
crisis. Also included will be tearful reunions with long-lost relatives,
living out a mind-blowing sports fantasy, helping to save a dedicated
teacher's job, keeping a factory that provides jobs open as it teeters on
the brink of closing down - and even saving a desperate local economy on
the
verge of slipping into debt.
Said Grant: "When I heard about this show, I was extremely moved by NBC
and
the production company's concept to provide incredibly positive changes in
the lives of different people. Seeing the initial prep work the producers
had done for the pilot episode gave me reason to look at my own life --
and
remind myself, once again, to never underestimate the impact that one life
can have on another.
"I knew that whoever wound up hosting this show was going to have a
front-row seat to some pretty amazing interaction with some very deserving
people. I'm so glad my name was thrown into the pot and I look forward to
working with NBC Universal Television Studio and Glassman Media -- and I
hope that together, we are able to make a lot of dreams come true."
Each wish will involve a deeply personal story, and viewers will follow
the
deserving families as Grant and her team of experts help revive their
wishes
and bring them to life.
Andrew Glassman (NBC's "Average Joe" seasons 1-4) and Jason Raff (NBC's
"Average Joe," seasons 1-4) are executive producers.
"There's an incredible diversity to the people we are going to meet and
the
heartwarming stories we are going to tell along the way," said Glassman.
"We
have already started to feel the magic, as people started sharing their
wishes with us. While our team is there to help, ultimately this show will
be about people helping people make their wishes and dreams come true."
The pilot is set to begin production in Northern California later this
month.
"Three Wishes" is produced by Glassman Media and NBC Universal Television
Studios
