- Lauren Cohan appeared on "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" recently to talk about the new season of "The Walking Dead."
- On the zombie series, her character Maggie is pregnant.
- There's just one problem. In the two-and-a-half seasons since her character's pregnancy was announced, Maggie has never looked pregnant.
- It's become a running joke among fans of the show.
- Kimmel brought this up during Cohan's appearance, and the actress was game to get in on the joke.
- "How long has your character been pregnant on the show?" Kimmel asks Cohan. "It's somewhere between 18 and 19 years for the first trimester," Cohan joked.
- "I figured there's not that much nutrition in the apocalypse, so you end up taking a lot longer to grow a baby," Cohan continued.
- In the trailer for the new season, Maggie has her baby, and it's not a newborn! Cohan noted in passing that her child is a year old. That means the time jump that occurs on season nine will be about two years.
- "The Walking Dead" returns to AMC on October 7. You can watch their interview below.
