That was the sentiment expressed in last night’s _Saturday Night Live_ opening monologue, when host Kit Harington, known for playing Jon Snow on _Game of Thrones_, was flooded with questions about how the long-running fantasy show will end. HBO’s _Game of Thrones_ launches into its final season on Sunday, April 14, and series’ ending has been subject to [nearly endless debate](http://time.com/5563493/thrones-death-poster/) by fans. Harington’s _SNL_ monologue started out like any other, with the 32-year-old actor delivering jokes about the New York Yankees and his own spotty acting career. Then he was forced to fend off a series of questions about the popular show’s ending — many from his own fellow cast members. “Could you just give us a general sense… of how it ends?” asked Emilia Clarke, who plays Daenerys Targaryen on _Game of Thrones_. “Emilia, you’re in the show,” Harington responded. “You know already.” “Well yeah, but, you know, I forgot,” she said. “It’s been so damn long since the last season. Plus a lot of my scenes are talking to a dragon, which is just a tennis ball on a green pole.” Watch the full opening monologue here: Kit Harington Fends Off 'Game of Thrones' Questions on 'SNL' ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/5565617/kit-harington-game-of-thrones-saturday-night-live/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/5565617/kit-harington-game-of-thrones-saturday-night-live/"},"headline":"'Game of Thrones' Cast Members Hound Kit Harington for Season 8 Spoilers on 'Saturday Night Live'","datePublished":"2019-04-07T14:50:29.000Z","dateModified":"2026-08-04T08:02:48.161Z","description":"On 'Saturday Night Live,' host Kit Harington's opening monologue turned into a deluge of questions of how the show will end.","url":"https://time.com/5565617/kit-harington-game-of-thrones-saturday-night-live/","keywords":["Newsfeed","Television","game of thrones","Saturday Night Live","onetime","clickmonsters"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt833ec3815ae267dc/698947e509208fa9b54139c1/kit-harington-snl-game-of-thrones.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Alejandro de la Garza","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/alejandro-de-la-garza/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt833ec3815ae267dc/698947e509208fa9b54139c1/kit-harington-snl-game-of-thrones.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"Saturday Night Live - Season 44","caption":"Saturday Night Live - Season 44","creditText":"Rosalind O'Connor—NBC/NBCU Photo Bank/Getty Images","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/5565617/kit-harington-game-of-thrones-saturday-night-live/","name":"'Game of Thrones' Cast Members Hound Kit Harington for Season 8 Spoilers on 'Saturday Night Live'"}}]},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"VideoObject","name":"The Final Season of Game of Thrones Is Here.
