This is a very solid idea for a TV show, because there are an endless number of “15 minutes of fame-ers” to interview. The show could be serious, or it could be punctuated with American silliness and excess.
For example, Jessica McClure “baby Jessica”, who was trapped in a well in Texas, and became international news. Next year, she is due to receive a trust fund payout of $1m. Yet the two men most responsible for saving her? One suffered from PTSD and committed suicide. And the other was sentenced to 15 years in prison on charges of sexual exploitation of a child, sexual assault, and improper storage of explosives.
Brian “Kato” Kaelin? Houseboy of the Simpsons.
Jessica Hahn, Monica Lewinsky or Linda Tripp or Paula Jones or Gennifer Flowers, Elizabeth Smart, Captain Chesley Sullenberger (pilot), Lorena Bobbitt, Mike Melvill (private astronaut), etc., etc.
If I remember correctly, Jessica Hahn is working with a ministry of some sort, and SHE WAS HOT...
