Savannah Guthrie's new project has been announced, a game show based on the popular New York Times puzzle game Wordle. The Today show anchor will host the show, which has been in development for two-and-a-half years.
The game show is based on the word-guessing game that launched in 2022 and is described as 'super-fast-paced and fun.' Guthrie said it's a great family watch and she loves that it's something you can do with your kids.
The show was picked up in February, but filming was delayed due to Guthrie's family crisis. Her 84-year-old mother Nancy Guthrie was abducted from her home in Tucson, Arizona on February 1 and the investigation is ongoing.
Guthrie thanked NBC for delaying the show amid her family crisis, saying they 'stopped everything' and waited for her to return. She also thanked the production team and everyone involved for their support.
