Karen1573 is right television pictures are copyrighted even if it is satire it is still illegal to copy a picture from the television and use it this way, but someone mentioned making a poser scene of a talk show, that is not the same thing and probably would be allowed Most satires on television, also, change the name of the program they are satirizing, even slightly, so that they avoid being sued. Though I would say that the way the picture has been used in this instance (not for money) would probably not be bothered about by the company who makes the program. There are thousands of pictures from the star wars films on the internet but I cant remember hearing of one case where lucasarts sued someone about it. I think that nowadays, especially with the internet, that most companies dont really bother if a picture is used by someone, as long as the picture isn`t sold.
