Jimmy Fallon wants to turn Wordle into a TV show

Jimmy Fallon helps make Word in a television series, Deadline reports. NBC is piloting the Word game show with the help of Fallon’s production company, and the series is currently filming in the UK. Savannah Guthrie will host.

Around when Word really started to explode, Jimmy Fallon spent a whole segment of Tonight’s show solve a riddle in front of an audience. (The segment aired just before The New York Times bought Word from creator Josh Wardle in early 2022.) Fingers crossed this TV show isn’t just about one person figuring out a puzzle like Fallon did — I was frustrated watching the segment because I just wanted to make my own guesses. Instead, I hope Word The TV show is inspired by Jargona game show where teams compete to quickly solve Word-like puzzles for cash prizes. It’s much more vivid.

Although it is not guaranteed that this Word the show will actually be broadcast, given its popularity Word that is, I guess he has a good chance of getting out.
