Acouple of years ago, there was a candid-camera-like program on NBC
entitled "Spy TV".  There was an episode (hosted by the earlier male
host, not Ali Landry) where "cheap" plastic surgery was being
perfromed in hotel rooms, and the prank was to order pizza delivery,
and when the delivery person came into the hotel room, they saw what
appeared to be a real surgery in progress- all the trimmings- IV poles
with dripping liquid, monitors, beeping machines, surgeons in full
garb, patients with fake incisions/blood, etc.
They would actually ask the delivery person to hold something/help for
a second while they would take a bite of pizza.  The reactions were
hilarious.  Where can I purchase a copy of this episode?
