So where’s he going? “Alright,” Kimmel said, playing along. “To hell, maybe? Is it hell? OK. Not hell. [Maybe Coachella](http://time.com/money/4723707/coachella-2017-most-expensive-things-to-do/)? No? Could he be on a [Rob Gronkowsi](http://time.com/4120848/rob-gronkowski-learns-how-to-cook-turkey-gronksgiving/) booze cruise?” he continued. Other suggestions included Dolly Parton’s Tennessee amusement park [Dollywood](http://time.com/4587132/dolly-parton-tennessee-wildfire/) and the fictional (and terrifying) location of _Kong: Skull Island_. But Kimmel had one final guess he felt pretty confident about. Watch above.
