Kristen Wiig was supposed to stop by The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon last night to promote her new movie, Welcome To Me, but instead, Khaleesi from Game Of Thrones showed up with one of her dragons, Carl. She talked about her burgeoning stand-up career ("I don't know if you'll get it...it's about rocks and swords and stuff"), her favorite vacation spot (West Elm of the Shore), and even revealed her real name (Karen). Watch the giggly interview below.
After watching her and Fallon perform the Mother of Dragon's hit song, "Wonderful Wonderful Wonderful," we're starting to wonder whether Wiig has ever actually seen GOT.
