Although the visual of Lady Gaga and Katie Couric fighting over who gets the last piece of pumpkin pie is pretty hilarious, sadly these two are only spending Thanksgiving together on the small screen. PEOPLE Magazine is reporting that Mother Monster and the former 'Today Show' anchor have taped a the Turkey Day special, 'A Very Gaga Thanksgiving' to air Nov. 24, 9:30 p.m. ET.

The 90-minute show is pack with Gaga goodness for fans coming down from their mashed potato high. Lady G will perform eight songs – including 'The Edge of Glory,' 'White Christmas' and 'The Lady Is a Tramp' with Tony Bennett, who, fans might remember, was accidentally flashed by Gaga while recording the song. LG will also sit down with Couric to discuss the private details of her wild life.

"We all know Lady Gaga is a phenomenon. This is a chance to see more of who she is beneath the wild costumes and staged musical numbers," Couric tells PEOPLE. "She will impress you, delight you and surprise you."

The special, taped at Gaga's alma mater of Sacred Heart Catholic School in Manhattan, won't just feature performances and an interview with LG. The secretly domestic singer will also whip up a feast of deep-fried turkey and waffles with the help of chef Art Smith -- who, coincidentally, is opening a restaurant with Lady G's father.
