Harington poked fun at the cultural impact of the landmark HBO show that made him famous.
Chatting with Stephen Colbert on The Late Show Tuesday, Game of Thrones star Kit Harington poked fun at the cultural impact of the landmark HBO show that made him famous.
Discussing how much the world has changed since Thrones premiered back in 2011, Harrington and Colbert joked that the show was to blame for real-life political upheavals.
Based on the A Song of Ice and Fire book series by George R. Martin, the show won legions of fans for its portrayal of brutal power grabs and underhanded schemes and in a medieval-style world where mythical creatures roam. Wildly popular, Thrones nonetheless continues to divide viewers with its graphic depictions of sex and violence.
“The show was a big cultural definer for the 2010s. So we can blame you for where we are right now,” Colbert said to Harington, who plays lead character Jon Snow.
