Jon Snow is a well-loved character on Game of Thrones, "maybe the most beloved," said Jimmy Kimmel on Wednesday night's Kimmel Live. Kit Harington, the actor who plays Snow, didn't disagree. But Kimmel wasn't dropping compliments, he was setting up a live contest between three Jon Snow impersonators, one in Wales, one in California, and one in Canada. Harington's unenviable job was to sit through each one reading a random bit of text in character as Jon Snow, and adjudicate their Jon Snow-edness. Thankfully, each one is pretty good. Too bad they couldn't do this with Elvis. Peter Weber
