Ebie said while some students might be disappointed by Lopez's absence, Chan's performance would make the show a success.
"He's energetic, he's funny...I think he'll make everybody happy," Ebie said.
Ebie also said he hoped that Chan would perform his trademark stunts during the show.
Chan will be honored in Sanders Theatre at 3 p.m. tomorrow to an already sold out show.
A second, free show will take place in Lowell Lecture Hall at 6 p.m., hosted by four students.
