Kerry Washington’s parents don’t know how to handle the perks of her celebrity.
Washington visited Jimmy Kimmel Live! Tuesday night to promote the upcoming season of her hit Shondaland series, Scandal.
During her visit, Washington and Jimmy Kimmel discussed the Emmys. Kimmel and Washington were both presenters during the 67th Primetime Emmy Awards, their takeaway from the awards ceremony: why was George R.R. Martin celebrating and not at home writing the next installment to his Game of Thrones book series?
Washington told Kimmel that her parents got her started on Game of Thrones, but her dad is a super fan. He read the books twice and likes to point out all the differences between the tv show and the book. Kimmel said his parents also enjoy the series but Kimmel’s dad has only read the books once. According to Entertainment Weekly Washington’s mom and dad met Jason Momoa at an HBO after-party for the Emmys a few years ago. Washington said her mom “turned into a 16-year-old-girl” but thankfully her dad understood. “My dad’s crush is about the same,” Washington said.
