What was the name of Andy Warhol’s 1985 television program on MTV?

Andy Warhol’s 1985 television program on MTV was called Andy Warhol’s Fifteen Minutes. The program was a short-lived interview and variety series connected to Warhol’s interest in celebrity, media, and popular culture.

The title refers to Warhol’s famous observation that everyone would someday have fifteen minutes of fame. That phrase became one of the most widely quoted summaries of his ideas about celebrity and mass communication, although its exact wording and origin are often debated in popular retellings.

The MTV show extended Warhol’s practice into television. He appeared as host, while guests from entertainment, fashion, music, and art entered the program’s deliberately stylized environment. The show reflected his long-running fascination with public personas and the production of fame.

It is distinct from Interview magazine, which Warhol co-founded in 1969, and from later television programs that borrowed his name or aesthetic. The MTV series specifically ran under the title Andy Warhol’s Fifteen Minutes.
