could i tape a oprah or the good morning america host's robin ,to some music played on my guitar?

Question

i'm planning to tape record on my vcr, musical narratives, to some of the talk shows that people watch,with music played by me on my guitar.however could this bright idea land me in trouble? it's been interestingly enjoyable hearing these celebs talk along with the notes played by me on my electric guitar.and to be published amongst such people would be great.

i've sampled oprah's voice to musical notes with my electric guitar,as well as robin's and as background music to their voices they sounded musically narrative.how could i propose a narrative recording to them?

Answer 1

If it is for your own personal use, there probably is no problem. If you want to make it like you said to Publish (try to sell it), oh yeah, Oprah's lawyers will be calling you at home for sure!!! You can't use footage or their name without permission....look at the end of an Oprah show..."Harpo productions....for the sole purpose...etc etc..." you will be ordered to ? it, or be sued.......
