Later this month Seven screens a 90-minute special, Lady Gaga & The Muppets Holiday Spectacular.
Set to screen before the annual Carols in the Domain, the special features Lady Gaga performing songs from her new album, including duets between Lady Gaga and Kermit the Frog, Sir Elton John, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, and RuPaul. Kristen Bell appears in a special sketch alongside the Muppets and Lady Gaga.
In addition, Swedish Chef, Beaker and Animal will perform special Muppet renditions of “Deck the Halls” and “Jingle Bells.” “I was so excited when ABC called me about doing a holiday special this year,” said Lady Gaga.
“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!”
“What an incredible opportunity!” said Kermit the Frog. “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.”
Saturday, December 21 at 7pm on Seven.

This was a ratings disaster in the US. It also received poor publicity due to Lady Gaga’s open use of drugs and alcohol and stripping down to nothing at every chance she can get. Pairing her with the Muppets is strange decision, hardly what one would call family entertainment. This sounds more like a 90 minute infomercial for her new album which isn’t selling.
Reviews for this were on the horrific side. A lot of very disappointed Muppet fans.
So glad they’re showing this on FTA, can’t wait to see the amazing performances! Gaga + Muppets is a great combination
