Synopsis: The hopes and dreams of deserving people in towns
all across America come true in “Three Wishes,” an inspiring and heartwarming
unscripted series starring five-time Grammy Award-winning recording
artist Amy Grant (“Rock of Ages…Hymns & Faith”).
Recently named one of the “most promising” new series for fall by Entertainment
Weekly, the one-hour show will feature Grant leading contributors Carter
Oosterhouse (NBC’s “Today,” “Trading Spaces”), Eric Stromer (“Clean
Sweep”) and Diane Mizota (“Trading Spaces: Boys vs. Girls”) to communities
all over the country to grant wishes.
Individuals, families and even entire cities are affected as Grant and
her team move from town to town, witnessing firsthand the extraordinary
consequences of their wish-granting and the powerful spirit of community
that often helps fuel their missions to make dreams large and small
come true.
From simple and light-hearted to more dramatic and involved, the broad
spectrum of wishes range from paying tribute to an unsung hero to helping
a family grappling with a loved one’s life-threatening medical crisis
to honoring a high school coach by making her heartfelt wish for her
students come true. Viewers will follow the deeply personal and uplifting
stories of deserving people as their hopes and dreams are transformed
into life-changing reality.
Grant has sold over 25 million records worldwide, won five Grammy Awards
and numerous Dove Awards – including “Artist of the Year” four times
– and has performed everywhere from the White House to the Grand Old
Opry. She has had 10 Top-40 pop singles, 17 Top-40 adult contemporary
tracks and a string of contemporary Christian chart-toppers. Her songs
of love, faith and family continue to find their place across radio
formats. (Courtesy NBC Entertainment, 2005)
