Mike Pence got a stealthy shout-out on the latest episode of Game of Thrones, according to the show’s co-creator DB Weiss.
Weiss detailed the anecdote while speaking to Jimmy Kimmel on his late-night show on Thursday.
According to Weiss, the moment came while filming the Battle of Winterfell in The Long night, the third episode in the fantasy drama’s eighth and final season.
As Weiss recalls, director Miguel Sapochnik asked Jacob Anderson, who plays Grey Worm, to “say something in Valyrian”.

The audio was later dubbed over, so the vice president’s name cannot actually be heard, but that is what Anderson was yelling, the co-creator added.
Game of Thrones is available on Sky Atlantic and NOW TV in the UK, and on HBO in the US.
