By far the easiest way to be a part of a talk show is to visit one of the early morning news programs, like Today, Good Morning America or The Early Show. All tape in New York and are fairly close to one another - walking distance, because everything's walking distance in New York.. Stand outside the studio windows or step-inside to a designated guest area. Wherever you are, whatever show you're watching, you never need a ticket, just a lot of patience. And some shows offer behind-the-scenes tours after the show.
