Past Internet Articles About Amy Grant

Whether through a brand new high school football field or the words of a newly-adopted son to his father, NBC�s newest reality series �Three Wishes,� is set to bring a new hope into the lives of thousands of small-town inhabitants, according to the show�s host, Christian pop-singer Amy Grant.

"We live in an age where people are not connecting the way they used to in meeting each other�s needs on a basic level,� says Grant. �I hope that people see this show and feel the desire to reinvest.�

Run in an unscripted format, �Three Wishes� will follow the efforts of Grant and her team as they attempt to make everyday people�s dreams come true, one town at a time.

�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,� says Jeff Gaspin, President, NBC Universal Cable Entertainment & Cross-Platform Strategy.

Grant, 44, says she was drawn to �Three Wishes� because of the unique opportunity the show presented to impact people�s lives.

�There was a time in my life when my income curve was greater and I was able to do some pretty magical things for people,� explains Grant. �And part of me was wishing that I had that capacity back again.�

But while Grant enjoys responding to the requests of the show�s participants, she is glad that she doesn�t have to decide which �wishes� will actually be granted.

�It�s just way too much pressure,� says Grant. �I don�t know how Andrew [Glassman, producer] and Jason [Raff, producer] do it.�

More than a few miracles for a couple lucky folks, Grant says that �Three Wishes� creates a �ripple effect� of generosity throughout the community.

�I asked this woman in Clovis, New Mexico what her wish was, and she told me, �I wish that the wish would come through for the woman standing in front of me,�� recalls Grant.

�People come together in this environment because hope is palpable and because they know someone will be chosen.�

NBC�s �Three Wishes� will begin airing on Sept. 23 at 5 p.m. EST.
