Actress Amanda Peet—who just so happens to be married to Game of Thrones showrunner David Benioff—was a guest on Jimmy Kimmel Live! Wednesday night, and of course the subject of Game of Thrones came up. She talked a little about everyone’s favorite bastard, Jon Snow.
So…obviously she was joking about divorcing Benioff, right? Telling Kimmel that she made her husband take a picture of Kit’s hair two weeks before the Game of Thrones Season 5 finale just to prove that he wasn’t going to die is absolutely hilarious. Maybe she should actually divorce Benioff for this whole poorly kept secret of Harington’s presence in Belfast during the filming for Game of Thrones Season 6…I kid, I kid.
"Don’t do that…don’t do that to Jon Snow, ’cause Jon Snow is my dude, and I don’t want to stay married to you if you do that."
Another very cool takeaway from this interview: the winner of the Jon Snow impersonation contest, which was hosted by Jimmy Kimmel on his show earlier this year, was hired by Benioff and flown to Belfast for some sort of unspecified role in Season 6…I knew I should have entered that contest! Finally, I’ve got to hand it to her, Peet did a bangup job with her Jon Snow impression. Maybe her husband should hire her to be a wilding or something for next season. She kind of looks like a slightly older version of Lyanna Stark to me.
