Lady Gaga will sit down with Katie Couric for ABC's holiday special, A Very Gaga Thanksgiving, and not only will the pop superstar perform eight songs (including several Christmas classics), but she will also chat with Couric and a handful of young students at her alma mater, Sacred Heart Catholic School in Manhattan.

"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 told the press. "She will impress you, delight you and surprise you."

The 90-minute special airs on November 24, and get this -- Gaga is also going to cook deep-fried turkey and waffles as the cameras roll!
