How, Why I Started ‘Curiosity Made Me Ask’ Show, Isbae U Reveals

Content creator Adebayo Ridwan Abidemi, popularly known as Isbae U, has revealed how he birthed his popular interview series, Curiosity Made Me Ask, saying he wanted to create something unique and different from skit-making.

Isbae U disclosed this during an interview with media personality Morayo Afolabi-Brown on The Morayo Show, shared on YouTube on Wednesday.

He said the idea emerged while he was trying to find his identity in the entertainment industry, having previously explored singing, rapping and skit-making.

“There was a day I said to someone that I was done being mediocre, being average. I wanted to do something different. I didn’t want to just be considered part of them, part of the skit makers, one of them,” he said.

Isbae U said American comedian Zach Galifianakis’ interview show, Between Two Ferns, later inspired the concept.

“I saw a show that I used to watch a long time ago. It’s called Between Two Ferns by Zach Galifianakis. So when I saw the show, I loved it. I thought, ‘Oh, this is something I can do,’” he said.

According to him, the idea behind Curiosity Made Me Ask is to reveal a side of celebrities that audiences do not usually see.

“The idea of Curiosity Made Me Ask is to show you another part of this celebrity you’ve not seen,” he said.

The show has since featured prominent personalities, including former President Olusegun Obasanjo and veteran actor Pete Edochie.

Isbae U also dismissed the perception that he had abandoned skit-making for the interview series, saying he still works behind the scenes.

“A lot of people thought or think I have stopped creating and just doing Curiosity Made Me Ask. But low-key, there are people I write stories for, people I help with their stories,” he said.
