Content creator Isbae U says he created “Curiosity Made Me Ask” to move beyond skit-making and pursue a different creative format. He also identified a United States programme as an inspiration for the interview series, according to Punch Nigeria.

Content creator Isbae U has explained that he launched his interview series, “Curiosity Made Me Ask”, as a way of moving beyond skit-making. According to Punch Nigeria, Isbae U said he wanted to pursue a format that would distinguish him from his work as a skit maker. The programme therefore became an avenue for him to explore interviews and conversations rather than remain focused solely on comedy sketches.

He also said the series was inspired by a show from the United States. The source material does not identify the American programme or provide further details about how it influenced his concept. The comments offer a brief explanation of the creative thinking behind the series: Isbae U sought a different form of expression and drew on an overseas television format while developing the show.

No additional information about the programme’s guests, release schedule or audience response was provided in the supplied report.
