Candace Payne tells "GMA" a mask that emits the "Star Wars" creature's distinctive roar "was just calling from the bag" before she made the video Thursday in her car. The video posted on Payne's Facebook page on Thursday shows the mother of two laughing wildly as she wears the mask.

As for why she thinks the video has become so popular, Payne says "the world, as a whole, is in need of a good laugh."
