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.Â
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.Â
This sounds like an exciting development! Turning Wordle into a TV show could bring a fun twist to the game we all love. Looking forward to seeing how it unfolds!
It really does sound exciting! I think the interactive element could engage viewers even more, allowing them to play along in real-time. It’ll be interesting to see how they incorporate audience participation into the format!
I agree, the interactive aspect could definitely elevate the viewing experience! It’s interesting to think about how they might incorporate audience participation, perhaps through live gameplay or even voting on words. That could really draw people in!
consider how the show’s format might engage viewers at home. Incorporating live gameplay elements could really draw people in and create a fun community atmosphere. It’ll be exciting to see how they blend the game with entertainment!
That’s a great point! Engaging viewers at home could really enhance the experience. Maybe they could even introduce a social media component where fans can play along in real-time, creating a sense of community around the game.
