The cast of Game of Thrones visited with Conan O’Brien this week at Comic Con, and the Conan episode centering on the group aired last night on TBS. We were treated to the host going full-on Melisandre, Hodor & Bran awkward acknowledgments, discussions of pranks and much much more.

Luckily, TeamCoco has posted lots of clips online for us to enjoy:

Conan and his tribute:

Isaac and Kristian Nairn, and the aftermath of someone Holding the Door after someone f’ed up:

Check out all the clips here and at TeamCoco from the Conan visit- and there are many more! You can also find the entire episode over at TeamCoco.

    Last year was worse IMO. People wanted to know if Jon was coming back and the actors didn’t want to talk. Also, the controversial rape scene … at least now the panel was more relax.

  2. They’re just ‘there’ the past few years. Nothing to say, nothing to report. Found it really boring last few years watching the GOT panel. They could have picked a better group of actors aswell.

    I found this even worse than the last one actually. Questions were boring and the actors also didnt have much to do.

  4. Is there a link to the whole Conan GoT event on one video so we don’t have to watch each individual clip separately? Maybe I missed it…

    Yeah I would have preferred Maisie over Sophie and anybody from Team Dany over Nathalie. I like her, but Missandei isn’t the most thrilling of characters. Where were Emilia, Peter, or even Gemma or Alfie would have been better.

    And no one representing King’s Landing? No Lena, NCW, Pryce, Dormer, Chapman?

  6. I think that I am happy to get any time with the actors where they are just being themselves and glad that Conan puts on the show. I would bet that much more happened while on commercials and such that the audience got to see and we didn’t. Maybe I am just not so hard to please.

    Alfie, afaik, is currently doing a stageplay. I think Gemma is also doing some work if I interpret her Instagram photos correctly (she is almost always shown in costumes; she seems to be busy).

  8. JCDavis,

    I agree – love to see them and hear their natural accents, which I find very entertaining.
    But in terms of content I agree with most commenters – not much substance here. I think we would ultimately have ended up with a more interesting show if only Dan and Dave had been there to answer questions – or even two of the others. There are just too many of them there to really get into a conversation.

  9. It’s rather sad that the Conan appearance is usually the highlight of ComicCon for Game of Thrones. The official panel is truly useless.

  10. Can we bring back drunk GRRM to moderate the Comic Con panels…

    Tho I can’t say I enjoyed watching him creepily ask Emilia Clarke about why they didn’t have the traditional Qarth Tokars with the boobs showing… lol

  11. AllisonFenn,

    For whatever reason, she was never scheduled to be here. Supposedly she’s filming Berlin, I Love You at some point in July, so maybe she had to go back early? Or she just didn’t feel like going on Conan again.

    Jack Bauer 24,

    Emilia is filming a movie in Kentucky. I don’t think Peter is filming at the moment, but I don’t get the impression he has much interest in these sorts of PR appearances, so I wouldn’t be surprised if he just didn’t want to come.

  12. If ComicCon 2017 happens before the show premieres, or perhaps just prior to the season finale, since there are only 7 episodes, it will be much more exciting.

    This wasn’t the most dynamic group of actors although Liam and John are always fantastic. And Conleth is generally amusing and just enjoys himself.

    It’ll be weird to have two Comic Cons before Season 7, but yeah next years will have much more excitement surrounding it.

  14. Jack Bauer 24,

    You think it was because she had been drinking and is underage they didn’t want her on conen? Wasn’t everyone from the CC panel on Conen?

    I think it’s nice to see the cast together, even if it’s a little dull, it’s cool to see them smiling and cracking jokes

  15. hmm Sophie immediately went to Santa Barbara to spend the weekend there after the first day of GoT’s cast at the SDCC. I find it weird that the most popular actor of that bunch who’s been doing promo for the show since the season finale went off to party in Santa Barbara while the rest of cast stayed the weekend in San Diego doing more promo work. Does this have anything to do with the whole hate and bashing she got on every social media after the panel?

    Sophie was partying in Santa Barbara on saturday. She took pictures with a bunch of fans there.

  17. Jack Bauer 24,

    Iam surprised you didn’t reply to allsionfenn’s question about where was Sophie with probably getting drunk or passed out..

    HelloThere,

    LoL and your post reminded me how Jason mamoa made an surprising entry and kissed Emilia..

    Sean C.,

    Yeah me too have the same feeling about peter..but both Emilia and kit too is now filming I believe

  18. I would have loved a follow up to Liam’s hilarious ‘return’ to Conan from last year. ?

  19. Omg people, Sophie wasn’t even there, can we not talk about her for one bloody post????

    Conleth has magnificent hair.

  20. Next comic Con needs all 4 Stark kids (especially drunk Sansa), one Lannister, Danny, Davos, Varys and GRRM.

  21. Mihnea,

    Shame ..

    After all the show has done with lannister hairs and Iam still wondering whats so important about kit keeping hair uncut.
    How cool it would be if varys had hair next season…

    We can have him say that he is now started to have hair since the real heir is returned to her homeland finally…
    Is this too much to ask ..

  22. I always enjoy Conan (and Andy) but this 360 thing… I just cannot get used to it.

    Conleth was his usual, fantastic self (with luscious locks), Liam is a crumpet, Isaac swore away (bless him and his love for Kristian ^^), John is as witty as ever, etc. All in all, a delightful if slightly subdued panel. It must be weird for all of them to have to go from medium to medium and have so very little to say. But that’s Comic Con !
    I once heard James Spader describe the event as “four days of foreplay with no release” (or something to that effect) and I find myself concuring. All buildup with very little payoff : one vague interview here, one behind-the-scenes snipet there… The teaser for the trailer for the extract of the movie/show that will not be released/aired before 11 months from now.

    Marketing on steroids !

    HAHAHAHAHAHAHA I’m dead

  24. Hoyti Von Totiy,

    No, as someone already said, she’s filming a movie at the moment, “Berlin, I Love You”.
    As for people saying that they needed more of the “main” cast… how is Liam Cunningham not part of the main cast? Davos is one of the central characters as far as I’m concerned! Not to mention Sam Tarly and Bran, both of whom are key players. I’d rather hear from the “outliers” than the same four or five “main” cast members every year. Besides, none of them have anything to say anyway, as far as the upcoming narrative is concerned! It’s going to be content-free interviews until filming commences, as usual.

  25. Loved Conleth’s story about Peter taking advantage of his trusting personality! Ahahaha

  26. Roberto Baratheos,

    I was just speculating, but it appears she was still in California, at least on Saturday or so. But she wasn’t sent away from Conan, either; she was never supposed to be there, for whatever reason, as there was a promotional bit for the cast’s appearance on the show late last week that listed the actors who were to be there, and she wasn’t one of them.

    She Instagram’d a photo of herself and Gracie Parker, her closest pal from the X-Men filming, so perhaps she decided she’d rather visit with her friends in California.

  27. dragonbringer,

    Kit got manbun. He looks good in this and Benioff said during Oxford panel that he had special imagine of Jon Snow and how he’s supposed to look like. And about real heir. It really doesn’t matter who is real heir or not. Technically Baratheons took throne from Targaryens by conquest, yeah Robert based claim partially on his Targaryen heritage but you see my point. That person has to take it and nobody cares about rightful heir or not. Which applies to Jon as a Targaryen bastard too who’s not even interested in it.

  28. Geralt of Rivia,

    I was just finding a way to explain why varys grows back his hair now…since he did say about how he wanted to restore the targs and overthrow Robert..I believed that will be reasonable excuse …nothing more ..

  29. dragonbringer,

    Or perhaps he just grows his hair during winter because it’s cold.

    It’s one of the other surefire signs that winter is here: the white ravens from the Citadel and Varys grows hair.

  30. Did anyone notice that Hillary Clinton said if she loses the race for president “i will appear on GOT in season 7”. Probably as the first female white walker – and of course without makeup.

  31. Ok, all I know is if Emilia happens to pick up a University of Kentucky Wildcats shirt while she’s filming in Kentucky, then, by some chance, posts a picture of herself wearing it, well, Daenerys will suddenly become the favorite character of everyone in Big Blue Nation!!! 🙂

  32. JCDavis,

    I totally agree with you – I was fine with it, lots of fun (it took me a while to figure out who that blond in the middle who was hanging out was. Tho she was pretty funny, so I can let it go)

    And whats up with people, blaming isacc for hodor’s death? Guys this is fiction fantasy! But loved what Christian said

    jsQintNkitN,

    I find it weird that the most popular actor of that bunch who’s been doing promo for the show since the season finale went off to party in Santa Barbara while the rest of cast stayed the weekend in San Diego doing more promo work

    Cast members do have lives, and other schedules. Don’t find it weird at all, in fact am amazed they were able to get so many of the cast together at the same time

  33. Sophie is on everyone’s mind even when she’s not there. Unbelievable.

    I want her to shit talk Jon’s character even more next year (and in front of Kit if possible). She’s the queen of trolling and y’all are sheeps falling into her trap.

    Take a chill pill, it’s just a show.

  34. “I woke up to a lot of ‘Fuck You Bran’s”. Lmao, poor Isaac.

    Too bad Sophie Turner wasn’t there. She’s always so pleasant and amusing. 😀

  35. I loved all the cast that showed up for comic-con but it does seem weird that they don’t have at least one of the main protagonists there (Peter, Lena, Emilia, Kit).
    I understand that they are busy people or maybe it’s not their scene, plus the cost to get any one of them is probably 5 times what the other cast would get. This is the biggest con out there, so all the bucks seem to go toward movie franchises.
    Of course, I am assuming that the guests are paid. I know smaller con’s pay the talent.

    And I like Sophie, even if Sansa bugs at times. Seems people are so divided about the things she has said about the whole Sansa/Jon thing. She has spun her story a dozen times. I think she likes to play with people or maybe just doesn’t think as deeply about the characters motivations as the fans do. She does what is on paper. Maybe she asks for motivation or emotional direction from the powers that be but I get a feeling she just plays it how she sees it. I don’t think she is a “method” actor, so I wouldn’t take any of her comments so seriously.

  36. Who is the actor who is standing behind Liam and John in the first group picture? Driving me crazy ..

  37. HBO CEO of tits,
    I want her to shit talk Jon’s character even more next year (and in front of Kit if possible).

    That’s not very nice. Just because people have opinions on things and it rubs some of them the wrong way shouldn’t lead you anyone wishing to fuel the angst.

    Oh the drama!

  38. Did anyone see the clip with Liam and his expression when he talked about the Jon/Sansa friction to come? He had a cringey look like it’s going to be a doozy, not just a little rivalry. Also, Isaac is adorably nerdy (I mean that in a good way) and his friendship with Nairn is cute. Missandei actress is sooo pretty, and acts classy. And John B. has a thing for Jon haha.

  39. Now that everything is calm,i just want to say that from the A tier actors only Kit and NCW are actually filming something else right now. I think Emilia has finished with her movie as her costar Jack Huston has to start filming with Sophie before GoT starts..
    So if you find the panel boring,the other actors just didnt want to go.
