Wait for it?

how do you say "wait for it" in spanish if it is previously unspecified what "it" is?

This question is specifically because I like the show how i met your mother, and Barney always says "It's going to be LEGEND -wait for it- DARY"

To say "for it" you'd need an indirect object pronoun, but these can olny be used for people, so is there a way to say this or not?

Gracias.

Sorry for not really being clear, I was wondering the translation that would be used in the exact context of the show - Colin4312, May 7, 2014

The translations I have seen / heard...

  • Esto va a ser legen... prepárate... dario.

  • Esto va a ser legen... espera... dario.
