PREMIERE

IT�S THE BRAIN SURGEON VS. THE CAMP COUNSELOR� IT�S CAESAR VS. VINAIGRETTE� IT�S THE BEST MAN WOOING THE GROOM� ON THE PREMIERE OF ABC�S �BIG DAY�

�Pilot� -- This fall ABC will present one very, very bad day in someone�s life -- the day of a young couple�s wedding -- and the stakes are high. Oh, we�re not defusing a bomb here. No, it�s something worse. Like this life and death choice: Should the salad, as the bride prefers, be Caesar or baby lettuce with pear vinaigrette, as hyper-controlling mom would have it? Chaos, tension and, yes, sex, are everywhere throughout this blessed house, while the frantic and flustered wedding planner dodges not bullets but barbs, on the premiere of �Big Day,� TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 28 (9:00-9:30 p.m., ET), on the ABC Television Network.

�Big Day� tells the stories you don�t see in the wedding video � of the father who sits his daughter down on the morning of her big day and tells her the groom is not good enough for her; of the bitter bridesmaid older sister who sleeps with the best man and accidentally drinks his contact lenses from a nightstand water glass, leaving him legally blind for the duration of the proceedings; of the groomsman who�s (not so) secretly hot for the groom; and of the tightly-wound mother of the bride who locks herself in the bathroom.

�Big Day� stars Marla Sokoloff (�ABC�s The Practice�) as Alice and Josh Cooke (�Four Kings�) as Danny, the blushing bride and groom, Wendie Malick (�Just Shoot Me�) as Jane, Kurt Fuller (�Anger Management�) as Steve, Miriam Shor as Becca, Stephen Rannazzisi as Skobo and Stephnie Weir (�Mad TV�) as Lorna.

�Pilot� is written by Josh Goldsmith and Cathy Yuspa and directed by Michael Spiller.

Josh Goldsmith and Cathy Yuspa are creators and executive producers. Matthew Carlson is executive producer. �Big Day� is a production of Sony Pictures Television.

�Big Day� is broadcast in 720 Progressive (720P), ABC�s selected HDTV format with 5.1-channel surround sound and Spanish subtitles via secondary closed captioning.

A TV parental guideline will be assigned closer to the airdate.
