The New York Times will launch a TV game show based on its popular mobile puzzle game Wordle next year on NBC. Savannah Guthrie will host, with production support from Jimmy Fallon.
The game show has been in development for two-and-a-half years and is described as 'fast-paced' and suitable for families. This marks the first collaboration between The Times and a TV broadcaster for an entertainment program, reflecting the company's shift towards digital subscription models amid declining print revenue.
