I'm guessing she's going to be a guest-judge on American Idol and maybe even
they will sing her songs. -Rob

I thought I'd pass this along. Here's an article from Variety:

NBC pilot granting small-town 'Wishes'
Grant to host Glassman skein

Reality TV continues to go warm and cuddly, with NBC greenlighting the
feel-good unscripted project "Three Wishes."
Singer Amy Grant will host the Andrew Glassman-produced skeinskein,
which essentially takes Oprah Winfrey's "Wildest Dreams" franchise
and brings it to primetime. Each episode features Grant and a team of
experts traveling to small towns or cities and making the dreams of
deserving folks come true.

Among the wishes expected to be granted in the pilot: saving a factory
on the brink of closure (thus keeping the jobs of townsfolk safe).

Other segs might focus on producers coming to the aid of a family
drowning in medical bills or letting viewers live out their wildest
sports fantasy.

Production on the special/backdoor pilot has already begun, with NBC
execs expected to consider the show for a fall series berth during
their pre-upfront pilot screenings in May.

"A lot of successful primetime reality has come out of daytime, and
this falls right into that ballpark," said NBC cable/cross-network
strategy prexyprexy Jeff Gaspin, who calls shows like "Wishes" and "The
Biggest Loser" an answer to the "backstabbing and nastiness" for which
the unscripted genre has been known.

Each episode is expected to tackle three different stories, all varying
in tone.

"There's an incredible diversity to the people we are going to meet
and the stories we are going to tell along the way," Glassman said,
adding that the show won't just be about Grant and producers playing
fairy godmother.

"Ultimately, this show will be about people helping people make their
dreams come true," he said.

Glassman and Jason Raff of NBC's "Average Joe""Average Joe" franchise
will exec produce for NBC U TV Studios.

Well, Amy won't be 'acting'. Just hosting. I remember seeing her host
VH1 Top 20 countdown and she did a fab job.

As for more stinkin', lousy, messed up 'reality' tv? Each to their
own. If the show is honest and genuine, then it'll find an audience.
Yeah, helping out other people - what a bad concept. lol

As television, it SUCKZ. American TV is a total cesspool. Like, how much
information did they give us on the tsunami, and it's quarter of a million
plus victims?? An hour on the swimsuit model who spent eight hours in a
tree. Wonderful!!!

Hi there,

It's me again. Maybe you rember me. I have not been on the debating
place for ages.

"American TV is a total cesspool"?

Wasn't American TV what Bruce Springsteen wrote one of his songs about?
'57 channels and nothing on'? When I lived in the US for about half a
year I hardly watched any TV because it was just commercials. It drove
me totally nuts and so to safe myself from that I just ignored it and
turned it off.
If it's really true that there was hardly any coverage of the Tsunami
that is really a shame. It is one of the biggest tragesdies in the
history of the world.

Sincerely from Hope with Love

That's entirely true. I have the good fortune of living in a border town, so
I did get some information from the CBC...

I gotta agree with Cov on this. While I absolutely love Ms. Amy, I have
never been terribly impressed with her acting/on-camera abilities...
However, if this is going to happen I think NBC ought to grant my wish to
have lunch with their host!

I've not been impressed with Amy's acting, either -- however, she is
wonderful when she speaks "off the cuff" during her concerts, so I'm
guessing this job might play to her strenghths after all.

I'll be honest...
No, Amy is not the world's best actress (The best bit of *acting* I ever saw
her do was the video for Baby Baby.. I knew NOTHING of Amy until that video
(like most outside the US) and I thought that guy HAD to be her main squeeze
they looked so close and comfortable with each other.


So, there y'go !

BUT... Beyond that... Reality shows are a waste of brain cells.

Could someone clarify something for me? Is Amy just going to be the
host on the pilot episode or will she be the host every week? Someone
I can't imagine her doing it long term.

Well, if it's a "pilot," that may mean there is not even a committment for a
weekly show.
