The story of Guy Goma is not one of stupidity. A former taxi driver from the French Congo, Mr Goma was at the BBC TV centre for an interview, in the hope of becoming an IT assistant. So when a producer came up to him and said, “Guy Kewney, isn't it? About the IT thing?" he agreed because he thought she had just pronounced his surname badly.
Mr Goma was rushed into a studio, where he found himself in front of the cameras, having questions thrown at him. He didn't expect at all that the guy who would be sitting on a nearby sofa was also called Guy. In fact, Guy Kewney was an IT expert and so he was going to be interviewed by BBC.
Goma says that before joining the studio, what the people from BBC were doing to him weren't normal but he told himself that it might be part of the interview. So once he knew the TV channel had made a mistake he tried to answer all questions and stayed calm.
Viewers of this channel have reacted with a mixture of delight and sympathy to the key moment when Mr Goma was introduced with the incorrect name. Nevertheless, after this big mistake, he was finally taken to his interview for the IT post. He didn't get the job but is now a demand as a celebrity.
The first time I saw this news I couldn't stop laughing. It was very funny to see an innocent man who was going into an interview for applying a job (that he couldn't get at the end) and was taken to a studio as he were an IT expert. Poor man! Even if he managed to answer some questions, his face when we was being interviewed was... there's no words to describe that face. Here is the video that shows his face and a little summary of this story.
In this case, I haven't learnt any new words. You can read more about it here
