NEW YORK — ABC has booked a prime-time interview with pop star Janet Jackson, expected to be her first lengthy television interview since her brother Michael's death.

ABC's Robin Roberts will interview Jackson at her California home for an hour-long special scheduled to air on Nov. 18. Jackson is promoting a greatest hits CD that is coming out for the holiday season.

ABC says it's the first time Jackson has allowed television cameras into her Malibu home.

Janet Jackson paid tribute to her late brother in September at MTV's Video Music Awards. She danced to a recording of their duet "Scream" and did not address the audience.

Michael Jackson died on June 25.
