Does your mom need some televised honoring? Do you know one who does? Donny and Marie Osmond will be taking the stage to help celebrate them as cohosts of America's Favorite Mom, a Mother's Day special.
While Donny Osmond joked to the AP that he initially thought viewers would need "an insulin shot" to keep them interested if he and his sis were at the helm, he changed his mind when he heard the details: The show will honor moms who viewers nominate and vote on in nontraditional categories. Honors will go to moms who are single, working, stay-at-home, unconventional or in the military. The 15 semifinalists will all be featured on the Today show during the week leading up to Mother's Day, and winning moms will receive a cash prize, as well as the televised honors.
The Osmond duo will of course sing a duet during the show — but they won't reveal the song choice until the show airs (Sunday, May 11, on NBC). Nominations, meanwhile, will be accepted through April 25. — Anna Dimond
