Savannah, I was telling them how I called you the other week for you not to answer, so your voicemail would play, but you answered and just clapped over and over again like a seal," joked Jenna Bush Hager.
Savannah first told TODAY viewers she would be stepping away from the show to treat an issue with her voice on Dec. 19. "I have vocal nodules, and now I also have a polyp," she said. "It's not a big, big deal, but I am going to have a surgery real early in the new year and be off for a couple of weeks. So it's my last day for a little while."
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.
