I've often referenced Andy Warhol's statement back in the 60's that in the future, everyone would be famous for 15 minutes.
In 1985, MTV decided to do something with that, and gave Warhol his own show. Serving as host and executive producer, Warhol launched Andy Warhol's 15 Minutes, but only 5 episodes were produced between October 1985 and sometime in 1987. I'm going to guess this was a quarterly series, one episode every three months, which fits with the 15 minutes theme. Actress-singer Debbie Harry of Blondie is our announcer, and Blondie's Chris Stein was the show's musical director.
Never saw the show, but we'll leave you with a sample episode.
