Update 3/11/09 – Harpo Productions has had the YouTube videos removed. They were not mine, I simply embedded them on this site, but the source files were from someone else on YouTube…so if you want to see Oprah in a Snuggie, I guess you’ll have to find a re-run…or you could just watch out for Tyra in a Snuggie, which is due to hit any day now.

You will have to settle for my original description of what you could have seen in the video, if Harpo Prods hadn’t brought down the copyright hammer.

Oprah chats with Mr. Snuggie, Scott Boilen, about the success of the Snuggie. The panel on Oprah’s show, which included Tyler Perry in a Zebra Snuggie, seemed to doubt that people would wear Snuggies out in public, to theaters, etc.

Although Scott didn’t point Oprah’s viewers to SnuggieSightings.com (sigh) for proof of Snuggies in Public, he did mention that people are out Pub Crawling in Snuggies. For more on Snuggie Pub Crawling, check out SnuggiePubCrawls.com (which is on the 1st Page of Fark.com right now and getting slammed with traffic). They also discussed people wearing Snuggies in theaters. Here is a pic of a Snuggie wearer at an opening night midnight screening of the Watchmen movie. Our first Snuggie Sighting in a theater is here.

I heard through the grapevine that there was a Sports Snuggie Sighting on ESPN. Tony Kornheiser wore a Snuggie on last Friday’s Pardon the Interruption (PTI) on Valentine’s Eve. Through the magic of Twitter, Tony has blessed his appearance on SnuggieSightings.com.

A Major League Snuggie Sighting - Tony Kornheiser hearts the Snuggie on the set of PTI - February 13, 2009.

Thanks, Tony.
