In 2008 Guy Goma attended a job interview at the BBC headquarters in London. A production assistant mistook him for a guest and he found himself on live TV...

Turns out the assistant couldn't tell the difference between two BiPOCs called 'Guy'. Guy Goma had attended BBC Television Center for a data support cleanser :marseysquint: job but was mistaken for Guy Kumi, a magazine editor who was presumably elsewhere in the building being asked if he could wipe BBC hard-drives of any information about where all those kids had gone with Jimmy Saville.

Guy Goma realised he was in the wrong place at exactly the moment he got introduced on the show.

Edit: oh yeah- he got the job, btw.
