  • 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. The ways he said “actually…” and “exactly…” are hilariously chill. All that in what I assume is a second language. If he didn’t get the IT job I can’t believe they didn’t at least find some other position for him.

      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?

Imagine you have shown up for an interview at a prestigious organisation - one you don't expect to make mistakes like this. We would be nervous even for a normal interview. He sits there assuming that this is how interviews may be done here - with cameras and lights. Is it an absurd assumption? Probably but in that moment it would be difficult to know what to do. So calling him a conman is a bit of a stretch. He came for an interview and answered the question since it was relatively generic. He did mention he didn't realise that the interview would be in such a fashion but the interviewer glossed over it.

    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 😂

      I genuinely don't get why people are praising him for this 😂 He literally pretended to be an expert on live TV, instead of just telling the truth and clearing the situation up. How can you ever hire this guy? That is such a huge error in judgment on his part

    His face before the interview started. He’s probably thinking ‘wow, they really do put you through your paces to work here’ 😂😂😂 brilliant.

    A Great Case of Great expectations not met at the BBC and yet he opted not to embarrass the station and handled it like a pro.... thumbs up to you guys, you will go far with this approach

      ​@@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?

    The BBC not hiring this man after he thought so quickly on his feet here is a crime. I guarantee whoever they did hire wasn't as good.

    The bbc didnt give him the job and have been making money off this clip for years and havent even given him any money for revenue they have made. Pay him for the interview he gave and share the youtube revenue. Shame
