Savannah Guthrie<\/a> has recently landed a new career opportunity. <\/p>\nNBC has reportedly greenlit a new game show series that is based on The New York Times word game Wordle. The show, which Universal Television Alternative Studio will produce in partnership with Jimmy Fallon\u2019s Electric Hot Dog and The New York Times, will bring Wordle to TV with a \u201cfresh, fast-paced format.\u201d <\/p>\n
Guthrie, who is described as an \u201cavid\u201d Wordle player, will serve as host of the game show. <\/p>\n
\u201cThe new format\u00a0challenges\u00a0players to solve five-letter word puzzles\u00a0in a\u00a0supersized battle of smarts,\u00a0speed,\u00a0and fun,\u201d NBC announced. \u201cIt\u00a0builds on\u00a0the way the puzzle community engages with Wordle every day \u2014 solving together, sharing wins, debating\u00a0strategies,\u00a0and cheering one another on. Now, that style of play comes to life as the\u00a0most-obsessed\u00a0and\u00a0competitive\u00a0players will team up in squads and go head-to-head in the Wordle arena, playing for\u00a0an\u00a0incredible cash prize.\u201d<\/p>\n
Fallon stated, \u201cI feel very honored to be working with Savannah Guthrie on this show. Savannah\u00a0has that rare combination of intelligence, charm, and warmth that makes everyone feel instantly welcome. And she obviously knows how to host a show.\u00a0I am SUPER PROUD and\u00a0HAPPY,\u00a0and\u00a0I think we\u00a0developed a SOLID GAMER for\u00a0PRIME-time.\u201d<\/p>\n
Production on the show is set to begin later this\u00a0year, with a 2027 premiere.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Guthrie Announced Her Game Show Gig on \u2018Today\u2019 <\/h2>\n
During an episode of Today last month, Guthrie was joined by Fallon to announce her new game-show hosting gig. <\/p>\n
\u201cThis is very exciting. I have a big announcement to make,\u201d Fallon said. \u201cWe\u2019ve been developing Wordle as a game show for the past two-and-a-half years with\u00a0The New York Times, and it\u2019s official \u2014 we are making Wordle Game Show with our host, Savannah Guthrie!\u201d<\/p>\n
Guthrie chimed in, \u201cWe\u2019ve been holding this secret between us for a long time now. And we\u2019re going to make Wordle a game show.\u201d <\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m so happy it\u2019s you,\u201d Fallon told Guthrie after announcing her as the game show\u2019s host. \u201cWe were looking, we\u2019re like, \u2018Who\u2019s the perfect host of this?\u2019 We need to have someone that looks like they play Wordle, someone that knows how to run a show and host it, and we did the pilot, and you are amazing, by the way.\u201d<\/p>\n
Guthrie then jokingly declared, \u201cI thought you picked me because I have a skirt that looks like a Wordle.\u201c<\/p>\n
She teased the game show, noting it will be \u201csuper fast-paced and fun\u201d and a \u201cgreat family game.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI love a game and a show you can watch with kids,\u201d she added. \u201cAnd you feel like they\u2019re learning some things.\u201d <\/p>\n<\/div>\n
