Game of Thrones Season 8 is merely a week away, and the promotions are ramping up. The latest one of the lot was Kit Harington’s first attempt at hosting Saturday Night Live, which went fairly well, and he even got some of his fellow castmates to join in. Read on!
First off, we had the monologue. Kit did well for his usual brooding self, displaying a level of energy that is expected from an SNL host.
He was asked by a fan about how the show ends, and then the cast members started popping their own questions, starting with Emilia Clarke (Daenerys Targaryen) who asked, “Could you just give us a general sense of how it ends?” and “Do you remember in season 6 when we had sex? Did you know they filmed it?” Hilarious and at the same time it’s weird to see that Emilia Clarke said that it happened in Season 6 instead of Season 7.
Of course, that wasn’t it.
John Bradley (Samwell Tarly) was also present, and asked, “Do you know what happens to Samwell Tarly?” followed by: “Do you think we’ll still hang out after the show is done? Like best friends?” Harington shot down his immediate plans, however, and Bradley was visibly upset, saying: “Wow, they were right. You’ve changed.”
Pete Davidson played the Night King and also affirmed that Harington had “changed.”
The gig was finished by Harington’s wife, Rose Leslie, who played Ygritte, who asked: “What are we going to do for money now?” and “How soon can you grow back that beard?”

All in all, a hilarious skit. There was another Game of Thrones skit as well:

There were also a couple of more skits which addressed the recent allegations against former US Vice President, Joe Biden, which saw former SNL star Jason Sudeikis return to play him.
