Everyone who knows me is aware that I usually keep my TV on and tuned to QVC twenty-four hours a day, so I don’t miss out on any great deals on hair-removal products or reasonably priced necklaces. Last night, though, I ended up watching C-SPAN 3 for a few hours instead — and wouldn’t you know it, I missed an appearance by Miss Piggy, who was there to make an exciting announcement.
Here’s the deal: On February 28 at 9:00 PM, QVC will air a “star-studded broadcast event” called “Red Carpet Style — Live from L.A.” Piggy will be there to show off “Miss Piggy’s Haute Tote,” a new tote bag she designed, which will of course be available for purchase through QVC.
But wait, there’s more! I’ll let the press release take over from here:
On March 16, during the tour to promote their upcoming movie, the Muppets will join Miss Piggy on a QVC adventure with on-air guest appearances and surprises scheduled throughout the day. From now through their arrival, the multimedia retailer is featuring the QVC Sweepstakes Celebrating Disney’s Muppets Most Wanted. Entrants have the chance to win exciting prizes and surprises – from QVC gift cards and Muppet merchandise to a trip to the Disney’s Muppets Most Wanted premiere.
“Miss Piggy is a brilliant businesswoman with a provocative personality and an impeccable sense of style,” commented Doug Rose, senior vice president of marketing and programming for QVC. “We’re honored to work with someone of her stature. Miss Piggy uniquely understands the aspirations of the modern American woman, and to have the opportunity to bring her fierce and fearless fashion sense to her millions of adoring fans is a thrill for all of us here at QVC.”

You should definitely click on that link, which includes some video of Piggy talking about her new tote bag, as well as some “Muppet Fun Facts” that are actually facts and reasonably fun. And you should definitely enter that sweepstakes. And maybe mark your calendar for March 16 so you can see what crazy shenanigans the Muppets pull on QVC.
At this point, I look forward to the inevitable day when the Muppets will have appeared on every TV network, on every program ever.
