Kit Harrington on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert

The Late Show with Stephen Colbert is back this week after taking some time off. It will celebrate that return in part by welcoming one of the most popular actors on television to the show. Game of Thrones star Kit Harrington stops by on Tuesday, March 5.

Harrington will of course be promoting the final season of Game of Thrones. The premiere is set for April 14 on HBO. The anticipation and hype has been increasing and hit another high point last week with the release of new character posters.

The popularity and importance of Harrington’s character Jon Snow means that he is always front and center on late night when it comes time to plug Game of Thrones. He’s been on Jimmy Kimmel Live!, The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, and The Late Late Show with James Corden.

Tuesday will be Harrington’s first time on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert. He’ll be in good hands as it’s well-documented that Colbert is a massive Game of Thrones fan as well as all things fantasy. Don’t expect Harrington to tell Colbert anything too juicy about the final season. If we’re lucky, we’ll see a new (short) clip. But would you really want any spoilers?
