Maisie Williams Totally Got Everyone With Her April Fools' Prank On 'Jimmy Fallon'

Game of Thrones fever is ramping up to a fever pitch as the show's final season premiere on April 14 draws ever nearer.

A mere two weeks from the finish line, the entire cast and crew of the show are making every effort to keep even the most minuscule plot point under lock and key for fear of slipping on a spoiler.

On The Tonight Show starring Jimmy Fallon, however, it certainly seemed like Maisie Williams, who plays Arya Stark, gave away a HUGE plot twist.

There was only one catch: the episode aired on April 1.

In the clip, Williams casually lists several moments that have been crucial to Arya's journey as a character.

Then, when Jimmy begs for some details from the upcoming season, she seems to let out a little more than she intended:

"During shooting, like, the final days were really like emotional, saying goodbye to all the cast. Because, when I found out that Arya died in like the second episode I was like..."

At this point, Williams seems to realize what she's done and covers her mouth in fear, asking if her flub can be edited out.

Jimmy attempts to comfort her, saying it will all be edited out and they can continue with the interview as if nothing happened.

Unfortunately, Williams really does seem overcome by her mistake, and walks off the set without any explanation. Jimmy, concerned, follows her to the curtain, which he pulls back to reveal...APRIL FOOLS!

No spoilers had been revealed after all.

Fans couldn't believe they fell for the prank!



Maisie's acting is what truly sold the joke!



In the age of internet hoaxes, April Fools has become a little less fun than it used to be... until now.



People were amazed that they were still able to be surprised by April Fools jokes...




The prank was all the more emotionally affecting so close to the show's upcoming premiere...

Jimmy Kimmel And Stephen Colbert Unload On Trump In Rare Crossover Event As Guests On Each Other's Shows

Late-night hosts Jimmy Kimmel and Stephen Colbert were each other's guests in a special crossover event on Tuesday and took the opportunity to call out "son of a b*tch" President Donald Trump, who has used his influence in attempts to silence them for criticizing him and his MAGA movement on the air.

Last week, ABC announced it would end its suspension of Jimmy Kimmel Live! just a week after Trump pushed to get host Jimmy Kimmel off the air following comments Kimmel made about the assassination of far-right activist Charlie Kirk. ABC had had internal discussions with Disney, which saw a wave of subscriber cancellations in the wake of Kimmel's suspension.

Texas MAGA Republican Senator Rafael "Ted" Cruz raised eyebrows when he attacked Georgia QAnon/MAGA Republican Representative and conspiracy theorist Marjorie Taylor Greene (MTG) for being antisemitic.

MTG has promoted some antisemitic conspiracy theories in the past, like Jewish space lasers that control the weather or start wildfires, but this time people are calling Cruz out for reaching in an attempt to discredit the Georgia Republican and protect Trump from what's being concealed in FBI, Department of Justice, and court records relating to the indictment of Jeffrey Epstein on charges of sex trafficking of minors.
