PERFORMER | Roberto Orosco |
DEBUT | 1972 |
Gugu was the Grouch on the original run of Vila Sesamo, Brazil's co-production of Sesame Street. Gugu is a very loud character, often shouting at everyone he encountered.
Like the other Brazilian puppet characters, he was built in Brazil and not by The Muppet Workshop. In dubbed versions of Sesame Street videos and other related projects following the Brazilian co-production's cancellation, Oscar is renamed Gugu.
