When Peter Dinklage agrees to host an episode of Saturday Night Live, you can't exactly ignore the fact that he's Tyrion Lannister on Game of Thrones.

In this behind-the-scenes featurette, Dinklage runs through some of the challenges he faces on the show's sixth season as he encounters dragons for the first time. Well, one challenge. One big, pants-wetting challenge.

The problem isn't acting against something that isn't there. It's acting alongside a mo-cap performer who's an obnoxious dick.
