Who Will Win the Iron Throne?_ by [Melissa Locker](https://time.com/author/melissa-locker/) ## Melissa Locker Apr 5, 2019 3:03 PM UTC  Kit Harington goes on Jimmy Fallon for Game of Thrones Jokes Kit Harington goes on Jimmy Fallon for Game of Thrones JokesLate Night by [Melissa Locker](https://time.com/author/melissa-locker/) ## Melissa Locker Apr 5, 2019 3:03 PM UTC Thanks to his starring role in [_Game of Thrones_](http://time.com/5563748/best-game-of-thrones-fashion-moments/), Kit Harington has become one of the most famous actors on the planet. While fame has its upsides (being invited on _The Tonight Show_ for one), there are a few downsides, too, including being constantly hounded by one of your character’s most famous lines. For Harington, that line is, of course, “You know nothing, Jon Snow.” The quote has become so inescapable that Harington even had to suffer through it at his own wedding—although he may not have minded that one. Harington stopped by _The Tonight Show_ on Thursday to catch up with Jimmy Fallon ahead of the premiere of the show’s [eighth and final season](http://time.com/4913247/game-of-thrones-season-8-premiere-date/) on April 14 (and Harington’s _Saturday Night Live_ hosting gig this weekend). The now-iconic line came up during their conversation and Harington explained that the line has completely invaded his life. It’s such a popular quote that, according to Harington, [_Game of Thrones_](http://time.com/5558803/game-of-thrones-battles-ranked/) fans regularly shout it at him and his wife, Rose Leslie, who as Ygritte, originally uttered the line in the show. “We get doubly yelled at,” he said. A note to fans, Harington isn’t particularly fond of having one of his character’s lines yelled at him on the streets. “I hate it when people say it, and my brother managed to get it into the end of my best man speech,” Harington said. However, he may not have hated that particular utterance. “It was quite sweet actually,” Harington admitted. “‘He said, ‘But looking at the woman you’re marrying, it shows you do know something, Jon Snow.’” ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/5564451/kit-harington-on-fallon/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/5564451/kit-harington-on-fallon/"},"headline":"Kit Harington's Brother Had the Best Jon Snow Joke During His Best Man Speech","datePublished":"2019-04-05T15:03:17.000Z","dateModified":"2026-08-04T08:02:50.089Z","description":"Only a sibling could make “You know nothing, Jon Snow,” into a sweet tribute.","url":"https://time.com/5564451/kit-harington-on-fallon/","keywords":["Newsfeed","game of thrones","Kit Harington","Late Night Television","Jon Snow","onetime"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt3ee3fe68be3cc8d5/698947d6b21a9c4eb050064e/kit-harington-on-fallon.jpeg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Melissa Locker","jobTitle":"","url":"https://time.com/author/melissa-locker/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt3ee3fe68be3cc8d5/698947d6b21a9c4eb050064e/kit-harington-on-fallon.jpeg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"kit-harington-on-fallon","caption":"Kit Harington on Fallon","creditText":"Late Night","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/5564451/kit-harington-on-fallon/","name":"Kit Harington's Brother Had the Best Jon Snow Joke During His Best Man Speech"}}]},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"VideoObject","name":"The Final Season of Game of Thrones Is Here.
