'Saturday Night Live' #TBT: Time to Study Up on the Game of 'Game of Thrones'
Can’t quite keep track of the various Starks, Lannisters, Targaryens, Martells, and Tyrells on Game of Thrones? Yeah, we feel ya. And that’s not even adding in the White Walkers, Dothraki, Faceless Men, and that old man who’s a tree but also the Three-Eyed Raven!
Game of Thrones star Peter Dinklage hosts Saturday Night Live this weekend for the first time (and the old gods help us, Tyrion had better stay alive this season), and we’re hoping for a fun roast of the HBO drama. Three years ago, SNL did a sketch that was called “Game of ‘Game of Thrones’” — basically a game show about the series which poked fun at its nerdish fans.

Like, fans might know Highgarden from Casterly Rock, but this question really stumps a player: What is the capital of Wisconsin? (Yeah, the geography category includes the actual world.)
And sure, everyone knows the Lannisters are the richest family in Westeros, but if they wanted to invest their money in a Roth IRA, do you know what that actually means? You know nothing, Game of Thrones-ers.
Catch Dinklage when he hosts this Saturday with musical guest Gwen Stefani.
