Apparently in the '80s and '90s the now defunct Spy magazine had a couple television specials, one called The Hit List and another called How to Be Famous. The How to Be Famous special was hosted by Jerry Seinfeld, and you can watch a few YouTube clips of both specials by clicking here. Spy went under shortly before I graduated college, and while I often heard about it, I never bothered to check it out. Based on what I've heard about the mag, though, I don't think these specials quite match its humor. Some of the clips are kind of funny, such as the one in which hidden cameras record how normal people react to a celeb like Ricardo Montalban, but others aren't all that amusing, such as the Brady Bunch theme redone as an ode the Woody Allen / Mia Farrow debacle. Those more interested in the print version should know an anthology of the magazine will be out on October 25.
