— -- Whoops.
Amanda Peet is married to "Game of Thrones" co-creator David Benioff and when he first brought the idea to his beautiful, talented, smart actress wife, she admitted she thought it was a terrible idea.
While on "Conan" Wednesday night, she explained the story.
"I'm gonna come off so badly on this show," she said. "Yes, I thought it was a terrible idea, terrible."
