The BBC’s Biggest On-Air Mistake Is Trending Again

One of the funniest moments in television history is viral again. Years ago, a man named Guy Goma went to the BBC studios in London for a job interview in the IT department. Instead, a producer confused him with a tech expert, and he was put on live television in front of millions of viewers.

​Even though he was completely shocked, Guy Goma tried his best to answer difficult questions about the music industry and Apple computers. The video became an instant global sensation.

​Now, a new book titled The Wrong Guy has just been published, revealing the crazy behind-the-scenes secrets of that day.

​According to the new details, the BBC producer only had five minutes before the live broadcast started. He was told the expert was waiting in the main reception. When he asked for “Guy,” Goma said yes, thinking it was time for his job interview.

​Amazingly, just twenty minutes after finishing the live TV broadcast, Guy Goma actually went to his real job interview. Unfortunately, he did not get the job, but he became a worldwide internet legend.

​Today, people in the UK, Canada, and the US are sharing the iconic clip once again, making it one of the top trending topics online this week.
