Lady Gaga to Host Thanksgiving Special: Are You Excited for 'A Very Gaga Thanksgiving'?

It’s going to be “A Very Gaga Thanksgiving.” And no, we’re not referring to the usual doses of crazy that tend to accompany family holiday gatherings. (Though those are sure to be present as well.) We’re talking about the 90-minute prime-time Lady Gaga Thanksgiving special that will air on ABC on November 24.

The show, conceived and directed by Mama Monster herself, partners the pop star with veteran news correspondent Katie Couric. Lady Gaga will perform eight songs in front of a small audience of her friends and family. They will include: “Marry the Night,” “You and I,” “The Edge of Glory,” all from her album Born This Way, as well as “White Christmas,” and her duet with Tony Bennett, “The Lady is a Tramp.” Katie Couric will also interview Lady Gaga at her New York alma mater, Sacred Heart Catholic School.

"We all know Lady Gaga is a phenomenon," Couric said in a statement. "This is a chance to see more of who she is beneath the wild costumes and staged musical numbers ... Lady Gaga as a high school student still bruised by being excluded from the party, Lady Gaga as a devoted daughter and caring sister, Lady Gaga as a 25-year-old woman embracing fame and fortune that seemed to come overnight. She will impress you, delight you and surprise you."
