Welcome to Muppet Wiki!
Sugith Varughese was a writer on Fraggle Rock.
He was brought onto the series by Larry Mirkin, who had produced his first two scripts, an episode of a Cold War spy television series and the CBC's first multi-racial romantic comedy.[1] Recalling his time on the series, Varughese commented "I had to present throughout. From table reads through final cut. Sometimes during the edit as well. That was the job. I had to be ready rewrite as needed during the taping which took 3 days."[2] He has suggested that he specialized in Gorg script.[3]
As of 2020, Varughese kept a selection of Fraggle toys on his windowsill, next to the computer that he uses to write.[4]
