Melisandre on Late Night, HBO makes a deal, and more

Carice van Houten made a guest appearance in full Melisandre mode on the most recent episode of Late Night with Seth Meyers.

Last year, Kit Harington as Jon Snow memorably turned up for a dinner party with Meyers, and this time around, a Game of Thrones character joins the Late Night host for a baby shower.

“Maybe stop telling people the night is dark of full of terrors,” Meyers suggests to the priestess.
