I had previously written that Oprah wore a pink Snuggie for Kids on her show on March 6. Now there is a full-sized Pink Snuggie available for adults, which is also known as the Breast Cancer Snuggie for Breast Cancer Awareness.

I just ran across this clip on YouTube which appears to be longer than the previous one I posted from Oprah's segment on the Snuggie from Friday, March, 6, 2009.
In this video, Oprah wears the Pink Snugglette and Tyler Perry is wearing the Zebra Designer Snuggie. Check it out.

UPDATE 3/11/09 - Harpo Productions has removed the video from YouTube. So...you cannot see said video. Sorry. I would like to point out that Harpo hit this site often in the weeks leading up to their show and used it to locate various clips they showed on their own show - namely the 107.5 the River Clip and the Fox and Friends entry that I had posted. So I am glad to be used as a source for your show, Oprah, and I won't even file you under 'Attribution Fail' (like I did this guy).
This just in ... Fox & Friends watch Oprah.

Amazon Snuggie Website - All Snuggies are here
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.
It now officially does not matter that warm weather is fast approaching. The Snuggie is going to do just fine through Spring and Summer, thanks to someone whom you may already know...Oprah, a.k.a. O. (You know you are big when you can be referred to as the first letter of your name...this isn't quite as 'Artist Formerly Known as Prince / Funky Hieroglyphic' big, but 'tis big enough for your own TV Show, Magazine, etc.)
On Friday, March 6th, Oprah devoted time to the Snuggie. For the first time, new Snuggie lines made an appearance. These new prints are known as Designer Snuggies. Prints available are Leopard, Zebra, and Camel. And also Snugglettes, Snuggies for Kids - Check out Oprah in the Pink Snugglette. You go, girl! And notice how Tyler Perry can cradle his coffee cup because his arms are not restricted by a blanket.
Oprah, thanks to the Snuggie People, was able to give away Snuggies to the entire audience. I will have this video up at some point of the crowd's joyous reaction to the news. Snuggie = Mainstream.
It is getting VERY hard to keep up with the tidal wave of Snuggie news hitting right now. I guess they are not ones to sit back and relax. Just yesterday I announced the new Snuggie for kids, available in Blue and Pink. Today, I present to you...(Snuggie Drum Roll Please)...Designer Snuggie.
The Designer Snuggie is available in 3 different prints - Zebra, Leopard, and Camel. You'll also recognize some familiar faces in the new Designer Snuggie commercial.
