'Game of Thrones' Author George R.R. Martin Gets Quizzed on 'Late Night with Seth Meyers'

It was test time last night on "Late Night with Seth Meyers" as Amy Poehler and Seth Meyers paired up like old times and challenged "Game of Thrones" author, George R.R. Martin, to see how well he knew his own books. The comedians rattled off popular lines from characters and he had to guess who said them. He did fairly well but was tricked a couple of times. Did you know Robb Stark had a scorned Aunt Patty? Just watching George crack up is worth the view.

Check out the video below and see how well you would do if you were in the hot...throne.

Weird Al's Emmy Performance Gave New Life to Popular TV Theme Songs, Including 'Game of Thrones'

Type faster!

HBO's "Game of Thrones" had a ton of Emmy nominations (59 to be exact) this year but one of the statues was not given to Peter Dinklage for his portrayal of Tyrion Lannister. So, boo. But big congrats to Aaron Paul ("Breaking Bad") for that win in the 'Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Drama Series' category.

So anyway, Weird Al made an interesting appearance and put his spin on the theme songs of some of the top shows this year. Included in the performance were parodies of "Mad Men," "Modern Family," "Scandal" and "Homeland." Of and of course..."Game of Thrones." You can check out that performance below and if you would like, jump to minute 1:38 for the start of the "Game of Thrones" segment which features SNL alum, Andy Sandberg as King Joffrey. During the GoT song, he encouraged author, George R.R. Martin to speed up his typing so they could get more scripts. See above for the fun gif of that command, compliments of The Huffington Post.

Important Life Lesson From George R.R. Martin

Some days, you just have to put a Robot Chicken on your head, wear a goofy expression and take whatever life throws at you. Yes, it's a lesson I learned well when I interviewed George R.R. Martin. And you're welcome, Internet. - Aaron Sagers

A hunt, a beach bonfire, a nasty breakup and one of the best weddings in the history of everything! We were reintroduced to a few favs that we missed in the season premiere and this episode of "Game of Thrones" was a whirlwind that ended in a most unpleasant-looking death. Admit it, you cheered a little.

Hunting For Daddy's Approval
Everyone's favorite torturer is back! It's that bastard Ramsay Snow and he's hunting a human with his Reek close behind. Theon is looking well, don't you think? No? Well, Miranda (remember that little temptress from one of Theon's torture scenes from last season?) is jealous of her blonde gal pal and she gets to hunt her down and shoot her and feed her to dogs. Fun times in the Dreadfort!

Ramsay later runs into his pops, Roose Bolton, and shows him his little toy, Theon...uh, Reek. Ramsay is so proud of the way he flayed and trained Theon but Roose wanted him whole and to use him as a bargaining chip in attaining Moat Cailin. But look, daddy! I can taunt him and have my toy shave me! Theon then admits to Roose that he didn't kill the two Stark boys so since there are living male Starks, the country will rally to their side. To prove Ramsay's worth, Roose wants him to take the moat. He offers Locke (the dude who chopped off Jaime's hand) to find and kill the Stark boys.

The fourth season of HBO's fantasy series “Game of Thrones” doesn’t start until next spring, but the casting news keeps rolling in. The series is famous for many things ... dragons, sex, intrigue, deception, shocking deaths ... and the plethora of interesting characters that we get to meet (and whose complicated names we have to learn).

In an exclusive over at Entertainment Weekly, we just learned that Russian actor, Yuri Kolokolnikov has been cast as “Styr.” Styr is the leader of the Thenn, a warlike tribe that lives beyond the wall. According to EW, “At the end of the third season, the tribes are readying to potentially invade Westeros under the leadership of Mance Rayder (Ciarán Hinds) while spy-among-the-Wildlings Jon Snow (Kit Harington) was returned injured to Castle Black with news of their movements.”

Here is some more casting news for next season, thanks to EW:
