“Game of Thrones” producers David Benioff and D.B. Weiss revealed that one of the perks of being president is getting to scope the show in advance of its airtime on HBO.
Describing the overwhelming success of the show, Weiss said: “For both of us, finding out the President wanted advance copies of the episodes — that was an ‘Aha!’ moment.”
