In 2003 Gado was on a trip to Paris for an exhibition. He took time to visit the set of “Les Guignols de l’Info”, or the “News Puppets”. Les Guignols, just like XYZ, is a spoof newscast featuring latex puppets. It has been on the air for more than 20 years and is one of France’s most popular shows ever.
Gado saw the concept as an opportunity which would not only be a huge success in Kenya, but also have an important social impact that exposes the rampant corruption and mismanagement of the country through humor.
