In an unexpected yet exciting move, Savannah Guthrie is stepping into the world of game shows! The beloved Today anchor has just revealed she will be hosting the brand-new Wordle game show this summer, a pivot from her usual role on the morning show.
Savannah, who’s adored by millions, broke the news alongside Jimmy Fallon during Monday’s Today broadcast. Fallon, who will serve as the show’s executive producer, was full of praise for Guthrie, calling her “fantastic” and expressing his excitement about the upcoming project.
“I’m thrilled to be taking on this new adventure,” Savannah told viewers, sharing that she’s been holding onto this secret for some time. It’s clear she’s ready to take this next big step after a difficult year, following the heartbreaking disappearance of her mother, Nancy. Savannah thanked NBC and Fallon for their patience and support during this time.
The Wordle game show will feature contestants competing for cash prizes in a fast-paced Wordle arena, with Savannah as the charismatic host. Filming is set to begin this summer, though the premiere date remains under wraps. With Wordle taking over her schedule, it’s unclear how this new gig will affect her daily appearance on Today, but fans are eager to see how she balances both roles.
Savannah’s career pivot is coming at a much-needed time, especially after the emotional toll of her mother’s mysterious disappearance in February. Savannah’s recent Mother’s Day post, asking for help in locating Nancy, struck a chord with many, highlighting her strength and determination.
This game show announcement brings a glimmer of joy to Savannah’s followers, offering a sense of hope and excitement after a tough year. Will this new venture prove to be a game-changer for her? Time will tell, but one thing’s for sure—Savannah is making moves, and her fans can’t wait to see what’s next!
