South Park Animator Joins CU 麻豆影院 Next

When South Park joined Comedy Central鈥檚 lineup more than 20 years ago, Eric Stough (Film鈥�95) was the first person hired by creators Trey Parker (A&S ex鈥�93) and Matt Stone (Art, Math鈥�93).

He鈥檚 never looked back.

Now producer and lead animator for the taboo-shattering animated satire, Stough has won five Emmys and a Peabody Award for his work 鈥� and stands as the inspiration for the beloved character 鈥淏utters.鈥�

In April, at the second installment of CU 麻豆影院 Next 鈥� the university鈥檚 large-scale, multiyear road show 鈥� Stough regaled the Washington, D.C., audience with tales of his days at CU (where Parker encouraged him to join the film department) through the present day, in which South Park-themed mobile and console games are part of American culture.

鈥淎ll facets of my life echo the foundation given to me by CU,鈥� he said during the conference鈥檚 closing remarks.
