A VH1 Guy (or Girl) is one of those "famous" people from that network's list/retrospective shows whose name and face you never remember. Examples include Hal Sparks, Sherrod Small, Scott Ian, Alison Becker and the Sklar Brothers.

These Z-listers are most often comedians, but run the gamut of actors/actresses, athletes, musicians, reality show contestants and entertainment writers. Sometimes they are even part of the subject matter of the show itself.
"Yo, there's a... *squints* Jake... Fogelnest stand-up special in my Netflix recs. Who the hell is that?"
"Oh, he's a classic VH1 Guy. He was on that Greatest Hard Rock Songs show and talked about how 'Cult of Personality' by Living Colour was the 69th-greatest HARD ROCK song ever for 5 seconds."
"Yeah, hard pass." *switches over to Rachel Quaintance podcast*
