both those examples are on Same Surname Means Related
Working on cleaning up List Of Shows That Need Summary
Basically, the thing I have in mind is when a fictional family in a TV show (or movie I suppose, but I couldn't find any examples of that) has the last name of an actual well-known person and— Big suprise, they're related to them! Two examples that made me think of this are a joke from Family Guy where their relative Kathy is at dinner and it's Kathy Griffin, and an episode of King of the Hill where Hank's cousin Dusty comes to buy Cotton's car and it's Dusty Hill from ZZ Top.
