This news comes at a challenging time for Guthrie, as she continues to search for her mother, Nancy Guthrie, who has been missing since January 2023. During the announcement on 'Today', Guthrie shared her mixed emotions, stating, "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." The show, which will feature team-based word puzzle challenges for cash prizes, is being produced by Jimmy Fallon and is expected to air in 2027.
