Many fans think the promised one will be revealed as Jon Snow - but Coster-Waldau cheekily suggested it could be Leeds United manager Marcelo Bielsa instead.

The Danish actor explained that Bielsa himself is a saviour who has brought the north to prominence again. He then asked the audience to chant 'in Bielsa we trust' and defined its meaning to Kimmel.
