I was going over the speed limit, and I feel the sirens go off behind me,” Harrington said during an appearance on _The_ _Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon_ on Friday, adding that the police officer pulled him over. “And he said, ‘Look, there’s two ways we can do this: You can either follow me back to the police station now and I book you in, or you can tell me whether you live in the next season.'” “I looked at him and went, ‘I’m alive next season.’ And he says, ‘On your way, Lord Commander.’” Watch the full clip above. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4336320/kit-harrington-game-of-thrones-jon-snow-police-officer/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4336320/kit-harrington-game-of-thrones-jon-snow-police-officer/"},"headline":"Kit Harrington Escaped a Speeding Ticket by Revealing Jon Snow's Fate","datePublished":"2016-05-14T13:20:56.000Z","dateModified":"2026-02-22T17:33:01.188Z","description":"A police officer knew the truth before almost everyone else","url":"https://time.com/4336320/kit-harrington-game-of-thrones-jon-snow-police-officer/","keywords":["Television"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt2d8e7a0c0e27c4b2/698893332dce0123b09e913e/kit-harrington.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Katie Reilly","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/katie-reilly/"}],"articleSection":"Entertainment","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt2d8e7a0c0e27c4b2/698893332dce0123b09e913e/kit-harrington.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon - Season 3","caption":"The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon - Season 3","creditText":"Andrew Lipovsky—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":"/section/entertainment/","name":"Entertainment"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4336320/kit-harrington-game-of-thrones-jon-snow-police-officer/","name":"Kit Harrington Escaped a Speeding Ticket by Revealing Jon Snow's Fate"}}]}] ```
