An upcoming Muppets holiday special
will include music from Lady Gaga, Sir Elton John, Joseph
Gordon-Levitt and RuPaul.
ABC on Thursday announced that the Lady
Gaga & The Muppets' Holiday Spectacular will air on November
28 (Thanksgiving) at 9:30 PM Eastern Time.
“I was so excited when ABC called me
about doing a holiday special this year,” Lady
Gaga said in a press release. “I knew it just wouldn't be a
complete night of laughter and memories without the Muppets!”
“Can't wait to see the gang again,
and I hope Miss Piggy's still not mad about Kermit. We're just
friends!”
Lady Gaga will perform songs from her
new album ARTPOP, including duets with RuPaul and Muppets.
Sir Elton John and Joseph Gordon-Levitt will also have duets with
Muppets.
“What an incredible opportunity!”
Kermit the Frog said. “We have a long history with Ms. Gaga, so we
jumped at the chance to do a holiday special with her. We won't even
mind if she mistakes some of the Muppets for pieces of her wardrobe –
again.”
Also appearing in the special is
Kristen Bell.
