Jimmy Fallon wants to turn Wordle into a TV show
Jimmy Fallon is helping make Wordle into a television series, Deadline reports. NBC is piloting the Wordle game show with the help of Fallon’s production company, and the show is currently filming in the UK. Savannah Guthrie will host.
Around when Wordle really started to blow up, Jimmy Fallon once spent a whole segment of The Tonight Show solving a puzzle in front of his audience. (The segment aired right before The New York Times bought Wordle from creator Josh Wardle in early 2022.) Fingers crossed this TV show isn’t just one person muddling through a puzzle like Fallon did — I got frustrated watching the segment because I just wanted to make my own guesses. Instead, I hope this Wordle TV show takes cues from Lingo, a game show where teams compete to quickly solve Wordle-like puzzles for prize money. It’s much snappier.
While it’s not guaranteed that this Wordle show will actually air, given just how popular Wordle is, I’m guessing it has a decent shot of actually coming out.
