Curiosity is an American documentary television series that premiered on August 7, 2011, on the Discovery Channel.[1][2] Each episode focuses on one question in science, technology, and society (e.g., why the RMS Titanic sank) and, for the first season, features a different celebrity host. Stephen Hawking hosted the premiere episode titled "Did God Create the Universe?", which aired simultaneously on seven Discovery Communications networks: Discovery Channel, TLC, Discovery Fit and Health, Animal Planet, Science, Investigation Discovery, and Destination America. Season one consists of 16 episodes.
