Jimmy Fallon and The New York Times are producing the series, which will feature squad teams competing for a cash prize.
- On Monday, May 11, Today co-anchor Savannah Guthrie announced she will host the upcoming 'Wordle Game Show' on NBC, produced by Tonight Show host Jimmy Fallon.
- Guthrie's career update follows the February abduction of her mother, Nancy Guthrie, from her Tucson, Ariz. home; the FBI is offering a $100,000 reward for information leading to her recovery.
- Guthrie, an 'avid Wordle player,' described the show as 'super fast-paced and fun' and a 'great family game' that challenges players to 'solve five-letter word puzzles in a supersized battle of smarts, speed and fun.'
- Shooting begins this summer with casting currently open. Today co-anchor Craig Melvin joked the team could not 'do the show without' Guthrie, adding Fallon should 'borrow her for a little while.'
- The Wordle series, expected in 2027, joins NBC's upcoming slate announced at the annual Upfronts in New York, which also includes the 2026 Emmy Awards and the 100th annual Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade.
