Ahead of the Season 8 premiere of Game of Thrones, the cast has been on a farewell tour. Kit Harington has already made it clear he's sad to be leaving the character of Jon Snow behind, but won't miss those grueling shooting schedules the cast were put through for the final six episodes. Appearing on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, Harington spoke about what it's been like saying goodbye to the character.
Harington said when he's out in public, he's frequently greeted by fans with one of the most famous GoT lines. "You know nothing, Jon Snow," which was said by Harington's wife Rose Leslie's character Ygritte, has remained a cultural staple since it first appeared in the show. Speaking with Fallon, Harington revealed that his brother managed to sneak the line into his speech at his and Leslie's wedding.
"I hate it when people say it, and my brother managed to get it into the end of my best man speech," he explained in the clip below. "It was quite sweet actually, he said, 'But looking at the woman you're marrying, it shows you do know something, Jon Snow.'"
During an earlier chat on The Today Show, Harington said Leslie isn't a fan of the quote anymore either, and refuses to say it to him.
Despite his constant annoyance at the quote being thrown at him, he added that he still very much loves the character of Jon Snow. In fact, he loves the character so much he asked the crew of Thrones if he could take the life-size statue of him that was produced for the show. He said the rest of the cast didn't do the same, which caused him to pause for a moment. On the topic of loving the character, he also showed up to a costume party as Jon Snow, which seems a little unfair to the rest of the guests.
Jimmy Fallon, like Stephen Colbert before him, used Harington's appearance to take a wild guess at some spoilers, but he was met with complete silence. See that above, and catch one more clip below.
