The Wrong Guy
Another joke from the BBC.
A black guy called Guy Goma; a white guy called Guy Kewney. Is it really that difficult to differentiate them?
Guy Goma, a graduate from the Congo, appeared on the BBC News 24 in place of an IT expert after a mix-up.
In fact, he was really there for a job interview for the position of data support cleanser (What the hell is this job about? A cleaner in the IT department?)
The mix-up occurred when a producer went to collect the expert from the wrong reception in BBC Television Centre.
The producer asked for Guy Kewney, editor of Newswireless.net, who was due to be interviewed about the Apple v Apple court case. After being pointed in Mr Goma's direction by a receptionist, the economics and business studies graduate was whisked up to the studio.
Business presenter Karen Bowerman, who was to interview the expert, managed to get a message to the editor that the guest seemed "very breathless and nervous". Well of course, darling.
Mr Goma was eventually asked three questions live on air, thinking that it was the way how the Birtish interview people. Probably he was thinking, "Hell! You Brits really love Big Borther to the extent that even job interview has to be shown live on TV."
It was only later that it was discovered that the real Guy was still waiting in reception - prompting producers to wonder who their wrong man was.
Mr Goma later said his appearance was "very stressful" and wondered why the questions were not related to the job he applied for.
His look at the beginning is just CLASSIC! A bit surprised indeed!
If I have half of his talent in bluffing during interview, making up answers to questions that I have definitely no idea what they are about, I can get whatever job I want to get.
I do hope he did get the job eventually though. Oh bless him!
