Watch ‘Game of Thrones’ and ‘Avengers’ Rosters Square Up on SNL’s ‘Family Feud’ Cold Open

Thor takes on Brienne of Tarth

With the ends of Avengers and Game of Thrones landing in the same calendar year, Saturday Night Live figured it was time for a dual.

On last night’s cold open for an episode that was somehow Adam Sandler’s hosting debut, the late-night squad pitted members of each roster against one another in a bout of Family Feud. With Kenan Thompson reprising his role as Steve Harvey, the teams are led through the ritual poll-vetted gauntlet. Thanos admits to an HGH problem and Leslie Jones makes for a reluctant Groot. I don’t watch GoT, so I’ll spare you any attempt at making sense of those references.

Both franchises have seen historic returns in 2019. Last week, Avengers: Endgame snatched every box office record imaginable, pulling in over $1 billion in opening weekend sales. Meanwhile, the most recent episode of Game of Thrones set its own standard with 17 million viewers, more than any episode of a show in HBO history.
