TheGame of Thronespremiere is coming — andJimmy Fallonis among the millions of viewers worldwide who can’t wait for it.
“I have summoned this meeting of the regular size counsel to answer one question and one question only … How long must we f—ing wait forGame of Thrones?!” says Fallon, 44, dressed inThrones-inspired garb.

He continues, “Winter has come and gone, and then winter has come and gone again. And now ’tis spring and one thing is clear: shorts weather is coming.”
“So I shall ask one more time: When willGame of Thronesreturn?!” he says in exasperation.
The group then continues airing their frustrations about the long wait for the show’s return while also contemplating the idea that if it doesn’t return, it will never come to an end.
“All great shows must come to an end,” says Fallon. “A great show does not overstay its welcome.Game of Thronesmust end. But in order for it to end, it must f—ing begin! When will it —.”
But before he can finish his question, in walks Bean (Eddard ‘Ned’ Stark), who powerfully exclaims, “Silence.”
“Patience my lord,” says Bean, 59. “Your temper will not hasten the end you seek. The premiere is coming. But until then, we mustn’t lose our heads.”
But Fallon is still “no closer to the answer,” and when he yells once again for when the show will return, Martin, 70, delivers.
“April 14,” says Martin. “Final season premieres April 14. But, have no fear, after the show ends, there will still be books.”
Asks Fallon: “Mysterious stranger, how do we know that you speak the truth?”
“Trust me, I know a guy,” says Martin.
“The premiere is coming,” says Fallon.
Come Sunday, winter will come for the very last time whenGoT‘s final season premieres.
