The show also did a "Midnight Surprise" Comedy Show which featured many of the names listed above and others. No word yet from Opie and Anthony on if there will be one this year, but comedian Jim Jefferies stated that O&A would in fact be coming up to do something "They're coming up to do a show for Montreal.
