"Ben is going to be a phenomenal Bachelor," Harrison admitted to GMA co-anchor Rebecca Jarvis. "I can't wait for everybody to see this season. I think everybody is going to really fall in love with this guy."
The show host continued: "But at the same time, when you have someone who's such a good catch, there will be drama!"
Harrison insisted everyone on the set is "so excited to see what Ben is going to do."
"At the end of the day on the show, we don't even really know what's going to happen," Harrison said of the producers. "We don't know if there will be a proposal, if there's going to be a connection or a breakup. When we are still as excited -- and look, we're as jaded as anybody doing this for 15 years -- you know we still care and you know it's still a good show."
After 15 years of hosting the reality dating series, Harrison basically confessed it never gets old.
"One of the great things about The Bachelor over the last 15 years is we have this family. We have traveled the world together; We've taken care of each other. We've had kids, marriages, everything! We are like this weird, traveling band of gypsies that people don't really get to see behind the scenes. But that's what keeps us going on and keeps us loving what we do," he explained.
When reflecting back on all of his experiences with ABC's The Bachelor, Harrison pinpointed his favorite moment of all time.
"Well, I mean, God there's so many. It's like picking your favorite child because it's been 15 years now," Harrison began.
"You go across the years and if you look at that sentimental moment, it would probably be [Trista Rehn] and [Ryan Sutter]'s proposal and then their wedding. It really legitimized what we were doing. It legitimized the show and let everybody know 'this is a the real thing.' It was just kind of that 'lightning-in-a-bottle moment' that probably set up the next 14 years."
The Bachelor's 20th season is set to air Monday, January 4 at 8PM ET/PT on ABC.
