Guy Goma: The Wrong Man Interviewed Live on BBC for 20 Years #Shorts

In 2006, BBC put the wrong guy on air live. Guy Goma came for a data support job interview at BBC. A producer grabbed him from the lobby, mistaking him for Guy Kewney, a tech journalist scheduled for a live segment. Before Goma could object, he was on camera answering questions about a major Apple court case — in real time. And he committed to the bit anyway. Goma improvised answers for three minutes, eyes wide with panic, while the actual expert sat ignored in another waiting room. He didn't get the job. But the clip went viral in 2006 and has been reshared every year since — making him more famous than anyone BBC hired that month. Follow @CashWhizBros for more career chaos.
