Full Circle of the Day: George RR Martin Reacts to Red Wedding Reactions

On last night’s Conan, A Song of Ice and Fire author George R. R. Martin sat down to watch a compilation video of people’s reactions to last weekend’s infamous “Red Wedding” scene from HBO’s grisly drama series Game of Thrones. Apparently, Martin was familiar with the backstory of the video and explained that they were recorded by readers who had been aware of the pivotal event and wanted to film their unknowing friend’s reactions. Martin also gave a nod to the running joke on the Internet about his “no characters left behind” policy by warning Conan that if he were a writer for the show, he would have him killed by his live band in a conspiracy hatched by co-host Andy Richter.
