As we announced previously, Conan O’Brien is going whole hog when it comes to San Diego Comic Con. The Game of Thrones cast won’t be on until this evening after the panel, but that doesn’t men the show, which is quite possibly the most high-profile panel of the conference, hasn’t come up in other interviews.
Case in point: Conan sat down earlier this week with Chris Hardwick, of Nerdist fame. The subject at hand was spoilers and how Hardwick feels that some people can go overboard with them. But really, it was just an excuse to start yelling the major spoiler of the finale of Game of Thrones Season 5 at the top of his lungs.
I love how Andy and Conan immediately start covering their butts the moment the audience gets upset. “That’s speculation!” But Hardwick is firm. He’s chosen sides in the great Jon Snow Is Dead debate, and hair or no hair, he’s convinced. Jon Snow is not only merely dead, he’s really most sincerely dead. If he were any more dead, munchkins would come out and start singing about it.
