Kit Harington's debut on Saturday Night Live featured so many highlights.
In particular, it was Harington's opening monologue that got the most attention as so many actors from Game of Thrones appeared. For instance, Rose Leslie's cameo was hilarious, as Harington's real-life wife asked him how they'd afford anything now that Game of Thrones was over. She said, 'We didn't save anything and you kept telling me, "Oh, I'm the king of the North, we can order Uber Eats every night!"'
Meanwhile, Emilia Clarke asked Harington some awkward questions about the show including, 'Hey, do you remember in Season 6 when we had sex?' and 'Did you know they filmed that?' Clarke also asked Harington what happens in the forthcoming eighth season, explaining that she has no idea about the top secret plot as she spends all of her scenes talking to a dragon which is really 'just a tennis ball on a pole.' The opening monologue was simply brilliant:
And during the aptly-titled 'Bachelorette Party' skit, Harington did a surprising striptease, which is sure to excite Jon Snow fans everywhere:
