The name "Roger" came about after producer Fred Crippen had an interview with a reporter named Roger Smith. Smith asked Crippen about his new TV show and then joked that the main character should be named Roger. The theme song's lyrics are sung to the melody of "Yankee Doodle". Many of the production personnel would go on to be involved with Sesame Workshop after Roger Ramjet's run.
