In a newly-released cut _Conan_ sketch, which was originally supposed to air after the [_Game of Thrones_](http://time.com/4385792/game-of-thrones-arya-stark-kill-list/?iid=sr-link3) season finale, Conan O’Brien and Richter are discussing their confusion over who still has a claim to the crown. As they argue about [Cersei’s ascension](http://time.com/4362767/game-of-thrones-cersei-jaime-lannister-doom/?iid=sr-link2) to the throne, a raven arrives from Westeros. It is holding a note that alerts Richter to the fact that he may be the rightful heir to the throne and should lead the seven kingdoms. That’s not the only raven, though. Soon enough another raven arrives asking for a little proof of identity and a small token to show his good will. Watch the full sketch unfold below. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4536497/conan-game-of-thrones-skit/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4536497/conan-game-of-thrones-skit/"},"headline":"Conan O'Brien Knows Who the Rightful Heir for the Iron Throne on Game of Thrones Is","datePublished":"2016-10-19T16:01:17.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:37:45.977Z","description":"This Game of Thrones spoof from Conan is SO raven","url":"https://time.com/4536497/conan-game-of-thrones-skit/","keywords":["Newsfeed","Television","game of thrones","Conan O'brien","conan"],"thumbnailUrl":"","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Melissa Locker","jobTitle":"","url":"https://time.com/author/melissa-locker/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[],"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/4536497/conan-game-of-thrones-skit/","name":"Conan O'Brien Knows Who the Rightful Heir for the Iron Throne on Game of Thrones Is"}}]}] ```
