A job interview, live on air
BBC interviews the wrong ‘Guy’
Red faces as job candidate winds up on air
I laughed when I read this.
LONDON, England (AP) — The BBC interviewed the wrong Guy.
The network has apologized to its viewers for a studio mix up that resulted in a man mistakenly appearing on live television as Guy Kewney — an expert on Internet music downloads.
In fact the man was Guy Goma, a Congolese man applying for a technology-related job with the British Broadcasting Corp. Goma followed an employee to the studio after a mistake at a reception desk, the corporation said late Monday.
The BBC said it apologized to viewers for any confusion.
I have heard so many variations on this story, first they said he was a cab driver, then an insurance man. I watched the interview and thought he did rather well under the circumstances, can’t imagine how I would have reacted
