NBC just dropped a major career move for Savannah Guthrie, announcing she’ll host a brand-new prime-time game show based on Wordle, even as her family continues an agonizing search for her missing mother Nancy Guthrie. According to Page Six, the reveal came on the Today show on May 11, 2026, where Guthrie shared the news alongside executive producer Jimmy Fallon.
The show, which has been in the works since last October, will start filming this summer. Guthrie called the project a “big announcement” but admitted the timing feels surreal. “Everything is strange right now,” she said, her voice carrying the weight of a family still desperate for answers. “It’s strange to get up and do the Today show every day, and it’s strange to say that I’m going to do a game show when your heart is broken.”
