Two stage and screen stars will make their debuts on the Fox hit "Glee" in November.

Gwyneth Paltrow will be seen on the Nov. 16 episode, which is entitled "The Substitute," while Carol Burnett will be featured in the Nov. 23 broadcast.

In “The Substitute," press note state, "When Mr. Schuester gets sick, a substitute teacher (guest star Gwyneth Paltrow) takes over his Spanish class and the glee club and winds up winning over the whole New Directions clan. Meanwhile, when Sue (Jane Lynch) fills in for Principal Figgins (Iqbal Theba) as McKinley’s top dog, she tries to flex her power on campus."

The Burnett episode is described as such: "Sue’s “Nazi-hunting” mother (guest star Carol Burnett) comes to town to pay her daughters a visit. As the glee club works toward competing in Sectionals, burgeoning romances continue to develop among the students."

Prior to the arrivals of Paltrow and Burnett, the music-filled series will offer another new episode titled "Never Been Kissed" Nov. 9. "After Finn (Cory Monteith) and Sam (guest star Chord Overstreet) find an unconventional way of controlling their urges," press notes state, "a few glee club members pick up on the strategy and start using it too. But when Coach Beiste (guest star Dot-Marie Jones) gets wind of what they are up to, the glee club has some explaining to do."

"Glee" airs Tuesdays at 8 PM ET on Fox.
