Game of Thrones actress Carice van Houten appeared as her character Melisandre in a hilarious baby shower skit on last night's episode of Late Night with Seth Meyers.

In the clip, a group of women gather together for Seth Meyers' baby shower, during which Melisandre offers some rather grim words of inspiration, saying: "Clutch your child close to your breast, woman. For the night is dark and full of terrors."

During the skit, Melisandre also sets a chair on fire and spouts off other priceless lines, like: "Pray that it’s a son so the Lord of Light can look down upon him with favor."


Game of Thrones: Season 6 debuts Sunday, April 24. Series creator George R.R. Martin is still at work on the series' next novel, Winds of Winter, which won't be finished before the show's return.

And here is the stint. It's hilarious actually. Carice Van Houten is very talented

Nice one
