Kermit The Frog confirms Lady Gaga Muppet Show Christmas Special

Kermit The Frog confirmed in The L.A Times that Lady Gaga will join The Muppets for a special one-off, 'Lady Gaga & the Muppets' Holiday Spectacular'.

Kermit confirmed: "What an incredible opportunity! 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."

Gaga has a long history of Muppet partnerships. In 2010, The Muppet's late founder's company, Jim Henson's Creature Shop' created pieces for The Monster Ball tour. Kermit was Gaga's 'date' for the MTV VMA's in 2009. 

Gaga will duet with Kermit during the special which will also feature drag queen, RuPaul, actor Joseph Gordon-Levity and Elton John. Gaga is the godmother to John's two children.

Gaga released the following statement:

"I was so excited when ABC called me about doing a holiday special this year. 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!"

The show will be broadcast in America on November 28th on the ABC Network.
