Guy Goma: 'Greatest' case of mistaken identity on live TV ever? BBC News

It's 10 years since Guy Goma became a celebrity after he was mistaken for an internet expert and interviewed on BBC News TV.
The unemployed computer technician had been at the BBC for a job interview. But the graduate from the Congo gained worldwide attention after a mix-up saw him interviewed on air instead of Guy Kewney

The man was able to compose himself in literally 3 seconds after being unexpectedly shoved into a position many people would consider a nightmare (live TV in front of millions), and was able to answer in a way that sounds like he’s done it a thousand times.

Pay him what? What money is he due? What money was made off of this at the time? The BBC doesn’t run advertisements - it’s state funded. Internet videos were barely a thing at the time, nevermind video monetisation. what money? the bbc is not a for profit, publicly or privately traded company. it doesn’t really make any profits - at-least, that’s not what it’s there for. Any money generated will go back into budgets. It’s a state owned institution, funded by the tax payers (license fee payers) in the uk. There’s no adverts on the bbc lol. there’s no royalties for him except for maybe a couple hundred pounds of online ad revenue (if they monetised it), which would not be worth suing over - because even if he was awarded some or even all of that money (unlikely) - the costs to get to that point will almost certainly be greater then any ‘royalties’ he’d get (which is contingent on the basis’ of if there are any royalties, if he’s owed any, and how much if so). He’s not ‘owed’ anything, and why did he wait 17 years he believes he’s been cheated lol? Any money that would be paid to him wouldn’t be his money anyway, it would be OUR and MY money. The BBC is funded through households that pay the license fee, which is almost obligatory and universally paid, such as mine for example. What did he do to earn or deserve any money?

As wrong as the BBC were for their utter stupidity, unprofessionalism and discrimination, the way this gentleman uses his initiative and composure is so comedic and frankly he should have been hired as the IT man.

[@billdoor3140]

Discrimination? 😂😂😂 you prat 😅

[@TN_AU]

This my friend is a perfect improvisation in a sticky situation, he did well.

[@timothyhubert2305]

Not only improvising, he expanded the topic too

[@inigofenwick5108]

Yet he didn’t even get a job there. Mad

[@amiqai]

They took him to the 'news interview' room rather than the 'job interview' one.

[@chukin029]

I could watch this on repeat. Bless this man

[@davidaubry1198]

Il n'a pas eu le job, mais pouvait clairement prendre la pression. Parfait pour les T.I.

[@MillwalltheCat]

His face is a picture when he realises he's really on tv, but he held it together, and replied to the questions with remarkable accuracy in regards to the future of downloading from the internet. In a situation where you quickly have to think on your feet, this one of the best examples ever. Good man, I applaud you.

[@vinchen3025]

They probably asked is hes here for the "interview" and didnt clarify that it was a news intervew not a job. Whats the odds of two guys named Guy having two different interviews at the same place at the same time

[@mrtoad1408]

Goma was waiting in main reception and that's where the producer sent to get him was told Kewney would be. Kewney was actually in another reception area. The producer asked Goma if he was 'Guy' and he replied yes. He was swept off to makeup and put on camera. The best part is the producer was shown a photo of Kewney and its safe to say they look nothing alike.

I love how she clearly isn’t listening/doesn’t understand what he’s saying when he explains, and she just latches onto “a big surprise”.

Homie probably thought it was part of the interview process

[@tylerdando]

"I'm very surprised to see this verdict come on me, I was not expecting that... It's a big surprise" he's probably sat there going who's put a verdict on me, what have I done 😂

OK, so I assume this is BBC official youtube channel, right? Not only did they make the idiotic mistake of putting the wrong man live on TV in front of millions of people, they also upload this video on their channel? Like, look at us, we were such idiots and even refused to give him the job, but hey, here's the viral video of our idiocy

[@roybatty4687]

What a legend. Shameful they didn't give him a job after he nailed them out

[@beedebawng2556]

bailed*

[@Haymee]

​@@beedebawng2556 have ever ocurred to you that he might thought it was a new job dynamic? and it's all bbc fault for the confusion and also probably for not explaining how the interview would work (and what type of INTERVIEW it would be) or that he thought that it would be better for bbc that he didn't expose their mistake and make mess trying to clarify the situation live?

[@bigbad123321]

Its bad enough when you're in a regular job interview and the interviewer throws you a curve ball and you have to wing it. Imagine doing that seconds after realising millions of people are watching you LIVE. His heart ♥ beat must have gone through the roof 😂

[@sabinasabina2010]

This never gets old.. The poor guys face ( pardon the punn) when the penny drops is just priceless.

[@rszec]

He didn't get the job because they weren't going to take him to the recruiting office. After being impeccably interviewed on national television, displaying tremendous self-control skills and predicting streaming services, the people at the BBC feared legendary guru Guy Goma would leave them all unemployed.

[@will9603]

And the other guy who got interviewed downstairs for the computer technician job is doing very well in he's new role.

[@maazkalim]

“he's”???

Come on BBC, you have completely lost an opportunity here.

[@TheHesK9]

He did an amazing job! As if a job interview wasn't enough stress already, he ends up on live TV. What a legend

[@bunchlead]

The guy is a star. BBC should have given him a job.

[@SoundGGirl]

Bless him. I hope you are compensating him, BBC! He’s a sweet man who worked hard not to ruin your broadcast!

[@societopathyobserved9785]

Dude, I love this guy! He makes the best faces. Especially when she says "his" name.

To: Societopathy Observed: This is what one would do, especially if he is an amateur and sophomoric.

Yeah but the BBC doesn't hire coloured people wiv french akzent, doncha know?

Poor lad only wanted an interview and it's nerv wrecking as it is, got taken straight to the next level 😫😫 I'd cry and run away lol , respect 🙏

[@Eponine83]

My favourite bit is when the interviewer was asking him if it all came as quite a surprise and and he says yes, it was, and you can tell he's thinking, "More than you can possibly imagine, mate."
