Since the early 1990s, Scarborough has written for numerous popular children's television series, including Between the Lions and Martha Speaks on PBS Kids, as well as Doug and its movie Doug's 1st Movie. He also wrote a number of segments for the wildly popular NBC late night comedy sketch series Saturday Night Live.
