Jimmy Fallon interviews Kristen Wiig as Khaleesi from "Game of Thrones"

Instead of a standard late-night appearance to promote her latest movie, Kristen Wiig stopped by the "Tonight Show" on Wednesday as Khaleesi (aka Daenerys Targaryen) from "Game of Thrones."

The actress, in a long blonde wig with a dragon perched on her shoulder, did the entire interview with Jimmy Fallon in character -- sort of. In Wiig's alternate "Thrones" universe, her character's real name is Karen, she lives in the forest and has a dragon named Karl. Someone should alert George R.R. Martin of these revisions.

Things get very giggly very quickly, especially during a few rounds of rapid-fire questions. (Highlights: Her favorite food? Meat. Her favorite greeting? "Hiiiiiiiiiiiiiii.")

This isn't the first time Wiig has gone on Fallon as someone other than herself. She's also appeared on "Tonight" as Michael Jordan and One Direction's Harry Styles.

Watch Fallon and Khaleesi (aka Karen, aka Kristen) in the clip below:
