Q: They're making a "Game of Thrones" sequel series, right? What can you tell me about it?
Yes, and I can tell you quite a lot, fortunately.
It's not that HBO is suddenly being generous with details after years of being stingy. But given that the "Game of Thrones" prequel show (or shows, perhaps) will take place in a fantasy universe that's already been built in the original, small details say a lot.

Q: Who does the amazing impression of Sean Connery in the "SNL" "Jeopardy" sketches?
If you're ever not sure who did a particular impression on "Saturday Night Live," not only recently but in the long history of the show, Darrell Hammond would be a safe bet.
He holds second place for the biggest number of impressions done on the show (behind Kenan Thompson, who also just edges Hammond out for most years on the show). That puts Hammond ahead of such greats as Mike Myers and even the legendary Dana Carvey.
