Queen Cersei Lannister is the Queen of Mean on HBO’s “Game of Thrones” but, in her generosity, she would never turn a fellow entertainer down if they asked her for a few pointers in the art of scorn. Jimmy Kimmel got schooled big time the other night on his show.

Lena Headey, the actress who plays Cersei on the hit series, stopped by Kimmel to talk about the season 4 finale and agreed to play a little game: because no one trades insults like Cersei does over a goblet of wine, she agreed to do it with Kimmel.

The result was positively hilarious, as you can see from the video below.

Of course, if you know Cersei from the show, you know she’s no match for anyone when it comes to more or less veiled insults. Kimmel learned that the hard way, though he too had a couple of hits.

As for the hints that Headey dropped on social media before the season 4 finale, regarding a certain Lady Stoneheart making an appearance (which never came to fruition and got fans more frustrated than ever), she said she wasn’t sorry. It says so on her T-shirt too.

Whether you can forgive Lena for teasing you for nothing about Lady Stoneheart or not, you will probably still love her on Kimmel, I think. Enjoy!
