The 'Game of Thrones' Cast Crashed Kit Harington's 'SNL' Monologue to Demand Answers About Season 8

Everyone wants to know how the upcoming final season of Game of Thrones is going to pan out, especially when it comes to who’s going to wind up sitting on the Iron Throne itself. With the show’s premiere scheduled exactly a week away on Sunday, April 14, you can bet that Saturday Night Live is getting in on the hype. Kit Harington, who plays Jon Snow on Game of Thrones, hosted the show last night (April 6)—and as part of his opening monologue, he found himself having to field some questions about the show from the audience. As it turns out, he knew a few of his interrogators quite well: Some of his present—and former—cast members were there to demand answers, too.

Emilia Clarke, who plays Daenerys Targaryen on the show, popped up to ask Harington to give her “a sense of how it ends.” Clarke’s character is one of the relatively few that hasn’t yet been killed off, and Harington reminded her that she did, in fact, know what was going on in the show’s last season.

“Well, yeah, but I forgot,” she quipped. “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. I have no idea what’s actually happening.”

She also joked about the fact that their characters had hooked up during the show’s sixth season. “Did you know they filmed that?” she asked.

John Bradley, a.k.a. Samwell Tarly, also had a question for Harington. He told Harington he’d only been able to glimpse two pages of the season eight script, and all Tarly said was, “Arghhh.” Harington asked him what had come before that line in the script. “Dragon opens mouth,” Bradley replied.

Naturally, the Night King was also in the audience (played on SNL by Pete Davidson), and it seemed like he was feeling a little down about it all. He asked Harington if people actually hate him (“because it really feels like people hate me”) and if they could still be friends when the show was over. “We were never friends,” Harington responded.

Rose Leslie, whose character played Snow’s love interest until she was killed off (and who, in real life, is now married to Harington), also stood up to ask a question. After Harington told her that he was still sworn to secrecy about all things regarding the show’s final episodes, Leslie told him that she didn’t care because she “wasn’t a nerd.” Instead, she had a more pressing concern.

“My question is, what are we going to do for money now?” she said. “We didn’t save anything, and you kept telling me, ‘Oh I’m the King of the North, we can order UberEats every night.”

An Aaliyah MAC Collection Is Happening By Popular Demand

MAC fans probably remember where they were last September when the news broke that, thanks to a change.org petition, the brand would be releasing a collection around music icon Selena Quintanilla. Not to throw around the phrase “broke the Internet,” but it legit broke the Internet—the combination of MAC lovers and Selena fans was no joke, and the collection sold out literally in minutes. Basking in the success of the brand responding to what people want, fans then asked for the next dream collab: an Aaliyah x MAC collection in honor of the legendary late singer. Flash forward one year later, and the Internet’s power for turning fantasy into reality knows no bounds: that Aaliyah collection is actually happening.

Announced today, MAC told fans to stay tuned in 2018 for #AaliyahforMAC, which launches next summer. Those are literally the only details available, other than the tagline that, “Aaliyah is truly one in a million — an unstoppable icon whose groundbreaking work in R&B music and film inspires us all. Today we join her countless fans in celebrating her with the announcement of the M·A·C Aaliyah collection. You made it happen!” There’s no putting a number on the amount of people who have been influenced by her music, but heading over to change.org gives a little clarity: 26,187 supporters (and counting) have signed the petition.

According to the petition creator—one Jennifer Risinger, hero—both Missy Elliott and Rashad Haughton, Aaliyah’s brother, have condoned the ask. Haughton says Aaliyah was a big fan of MAC, and her go-to products were Cherish lipstick, Chestnut lipliner, and Espresso eyeshadow, alongside the since-discontinued Chelsea lipstick and Biscuit eyeshadow (side note, props that Haughton held on to that knowledge).

Speaking to what fans want to see, Risinger writes that they’re hoping for eyeshadows, lipsticks, lip liners, lip glosses, contour and highlight powder, face powder, false lashes, and eyebrow pencils that represent and are inspired by Aaliyah. In the petition, she wrote: “Aaliyah stands for MAC’s mission of ‘All ages, All races, All sexes.’ She was a risk taker, innovator, edgy, street but sweet, and R & B’s princess. She continues to influence today’s mainstream artists and people around the world still love and celebrate her life and music every year.”

Fans went full picture on what their fantasy Aaliyah collection would look like, asking for the packaging to draw on the iconic blue-toned print on the cover of her album “One in a Million.” The album’s 20th anniversary is this year, and given the rabid turnout MAC’s Selena collection received, it’s a safe bet to guess that the reception is going to be insane. So long as there’s a shade called “Rock the Boat.” We demand it.
