-"Saturday Night Live,"
-
you're hosting for the first time this weekend.
-
-Yeah. -How's it going, buddy?
-
-I'm intermittently terrified and confident.
-
So, one minute -- one minute, I'm, like, shaking.
-
-That's the balance you want.
-
-Yeah, shaking with terror in my dressing room going,
-
"Why did I ever agree to do this?
-
I'm the most unfunny person in the world."
-
-No.
-
-And the next minute, I'm, like, ling of comedy.
-
I'm like, "I know what I'm doing."
-
So it's like a roller coaster.
-
I have ultimate admiration for those guys who do it.
-
-Oh, I saw the bits that you've been doing,
-
the promos with Leslie Jones.
-
And, man, oh, man, it's hilarious.
-
-Yeah, it was a good induction into it,
-
just being abused by Leslie Jones.
-
-Yeah. What was the concept behind that?
-
It's just her fantasy of what she thinks?
-
-Yeah, the concept was that she's just been so excited
-
about the "Thrones SNL,"
-
and she's mocking up all these different things.
-
And then she gets me.
-
And then I'm like, "There's no one else here.
-
We've not even started 'SNL.'
-
What is going on?"
-
-"What is happening?" It's really great.
-
-Sara Bareilles, musical guest.
-
I'm telling you, you're gonna be great.
-
And it's such a rush and such a good cast.
-
I mean, everything I've heard -- I've heard great things.
-
They love working with you up there.
-
Is -- Have you gotten advice from anyone?
-
-Uh, I -- Who did I turn to to get advice from?
-
Like, I rang my mum. -Yeah.
-
There you go. Yeah, why not?
-
-Like, not, like, Peter Dinklage or Jason Momoa
-
or, you know, James McAvoy.
-
I rang my mum.
-
And I said -- And she's like, "What is it?"
-
And I'm like, "It's like stand-up comedy."
-
She's like, "Well, you don't do that."
-
I was like, "Yeah, well, that -- I know.
-
I know I don't do that."
-
She's like, "But you're really good at the sad stuff."
-
And I was like, "Thanks, Mum."
-
-"Yeah, I'm so happy I called you for advice."
-
You got to call me next time,
-
yeah, 'cause I'll pump you up, man.
-
-Yeah. -I got to ask you.
-
One of the most famous lines involving you in the show
-
is "You know nothing, Jon Snow."
-
Is that the line that people yell to you all the time
-
on the street or...?
-
-Yah, and my wife is Rose, so we get doubly yelled at.
-
You know? -Oh, yeah. That's like --
-
Exactly. Yeah.
-
Do people try to sneak it into conversation with you?
-
"By the way, you know nothing, Jon Snow."
-
-Yeah, I mean, the worst is my --
-
Like, 'cause I hate it. I hate it when people say it.
-
And my brother managed to get it
-
into the end of my best man's speech.
-
-[ Laughs ] That's what brothers are for!
-
-It was quite sweet, actually.
-
He said, "But looking at the woman you're marrying,
-
it shows you do know something, Jon Snow."
-
-Aww. -It's just sweet.
-
-That actually --
-
Hey, good on you. Good on you, brother.
-
[ Cheers and applause ]
-
I've heard a couple of rumors, and I wondered
-
if you could maybe dispel these rumors tonight.
-
Just -- Nothing that major.
-
I mean, again -- But we'll see.
-
I was just -- I just heard --
-
There's a rumor that once -- Not that bad --
-
That once you went to a costume party dressed as Jon Snow?
-
-Yeah. Yeah, I did. -Is that true?
-
-Yeah. Unfortunately, that is true.
-
How did you hear that?
-
I -- Yeah.
-
Well, the theme was -- It was rose's 30th birthday.
-
And she decided the theme
-
for the costume party was "bad taste."
-
So I thought about it.
-
And I thought, you know, what's worse taste
-
than going as the character you play in the show you're on?"
-
-It's actually genius. -It's really bad taste.
-
So I did, thinking this was really funny.
-
The trouble was that we had these two girls, you know,
-
handing out canapés and drinks and things.
-
And they ha not been told
-
what the theme of the costume party was.
-
So they just saw me dressed
-
as my character from "Game of Thrones."
-
-They were probably like -- -It's like, "You sad, sad man."
-
-[ Laughs ] Was it your real costume from the show?
-
-And I was trying to explain it.
-
I was like, "No, the theme is 'bad taste.'"
-
-Oh, wow. Yeah. -Yeah.
-
-Was it your actual costume from the show?
-
-No, I just bought it from a costume store.
-
And they were like -- -Yeah, what were they like?
-
-They were looking at me like -- -Did they know who you were?
-
-"Is this where you get your costumes from?"
-
[ Laughter ]
-
-I love that. I also heard a rumor that there's a statue.
-
You have statues.
-
-Where are you getting all these rumors?
-
-I've started them on the Internet.
-
You guys all have statues there.
-
And I heard that you kept your statue.
-
-Yeah, I did.
-
That is, again -- I can affirm your rumor.
-
Yeah. -You have a statue of yourself?
-
-Well, we did this thing. This is what you have there.
-
Yeah, it's the --
-
We had, like, a scene
-
where we all come up against our statues.
-
And they -- And I said, "Can I keep it?"
-
And they looked at me and said, "Yeah. I guess.
-
If you want."
-
-Did anyone else ask for their statue?
-
-So I made them ship it to my house in England.
-
It's a full-size statue. It must have cost --
-
No, no. Sophie and Maisie didn't keep their statues.
-
So I think this is -- I really have to take a long look
-
in the mirror and kind of ask --
-
Or at my statue.
-
-Do you talk to your statue sometimes when you're lonely?
-
-I think now, you know --
-
Everyone keeps asking me how is "Thrones" ending.
-
And I'm obviously sad about it ending.
-
And I thought I'd make the statue into a kind of shrine
-
in my garden that I go and cry in front of and --
-
-And lay flowers. Yeah. -Yeah. Yeah.
-
-That's fantastic.
-
The last rumor that I heard/started on the Internet --
-
Um, I heard that you can't wink.
-
-Yeah, I can't wink. -Is that true, though? For real?
-
-You know, I thought I could wink.
-
And then -- and then every time I've winked
-
on a chat show or anything,
-
my friends and everyone have picked up that I can't wink.
-
So, no, I don't -- -Do you mind trying it today?
-
-Well, this is -- Yeah.
-
-Look into camera three there and just give a good --
-
Ready? Give a wink. Like, "Hey, how ya doing?"
-
[ Drum roll ]
-
-That's a wink, right? -Is that -- Try it again.
-
[ Laughter ]
-
Yeah. It's almost -- It's a wink blink.
-
It's very interesting. It is a wink. But it's also a blink.
-
Which brings me to my last thing that I wanted to try with you.
-
There's all these rumors and spoilers from the trailer
-
that we saw that's already out for the final season.
-
And I was thinking if I can show a picture
-
and ask you something about it.
-
Maybe give me a wink for "yes" and a blink for "no."
-
[ Laughter ]
-
All right. Here we go. -Okay.
-
-Ooh, I remember seeing this.
-
-Looking down camera? -Yeah.
-
You can go down to camera three. I saw this. Look at this.
-
This is the sword hidden in the snow
-
as the snow drift gets blown away.
-
Does this mean that you are dead?
-
[ Applause ]
-
Then I saw this. Look at this. Flames everywhere.
-
Destruction. Does this mean everyone dies?
-
[ Laughter ]
-
[ Applause ]
-
Last one. Last one.
-
And then I'll let you off the hook.
-
This picture right here. Uh-oh. Wow.
-
Does Jon Snow get to ride a dragon?!
-
[ Laughter ] Oh, my God!
-
Wow! The spoilers! Kit Harington, everybody!
