He said, "This is very exciting, I have a big announcement to make. We've been developing Wordle as a game show for the past two-and-a-half years with The New York Times, and it's official — we are making Wordle Game Show with our host, Savannah Guthrie!"
Fallon openly rhapsodized about Guthrie. "I'm so happy it's you. We were looking, we're like, 'Who's the perfect host of this?' 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."
Guthrie Expressed Her Sincere Appreciation
She is grateful to many for the opportunity and for people's patience. Guthrie shared, ""We've been working on this for a really long time, and actually we just found out in February that we got picked up and we were supposed to shoot in March."
Furthermore, she said, "And I just want to say a quick thank you to NBC and to Jimmy and his production company and the The New York Times and the studio and Universal because when everything happened with me and my family, they just stopped everything and said 'We'll wait for you.' And Hollywood is a really tough business, and I didn't expect that, and I just want to say thank you, it means so much to me."
