She talked a bit about "Game of Thrones" and admitted that she would want to be part of the series and play the role of a swordswoman, read a statement.

The show's host Stephen Colbert also admitted excitedly: "I want to be on that show too. I haven't watched much of it but I have read the books."

"I am saving to finish all the books before I read anything about it but I watched like one episode while my kid was in the room and then I was like no I can't watch this episode", to which Peet laughed and said, "No, you can't".

Pete asked Colbert what he wants to be on the show and he replied, "I want to die a really horrific death", to which Pete responded, "Ya, me too".
