We have a lot of fun ideas,” O’Brien told ABC News‘ Lara Spencer in an interview that aired Thursday, March 12, on Good Morning America. “It doesn’t mean a million things won’t go wrong or sideways between now and the actual show, but that can be a challenge too.”

“The crowds really like it, because I’m a surprise, so they don’t know that I’m gonna show up,” he shared. “And some of these are very far-flung comedy clubs. They’re also a bowling alley. They’re also a car rental place.”
