Well as you know, even the news channels can screw up as well. This the highlight from the BBC New 24 network

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/4774429.stm

There is also a video (realplayer) to show you what happened

Guy Goma, a graduate from the Congo, appeared on the news channel in place of an IT expert after a mix-up.
But Mr Goma, who was wrongly identified in the press as a taxi driver, was really at the BBC for a job interview.
Mr Goma said his appearance was "very stressful" and wondered why the questions were not related to the data support cleanser job he applied for. The mix-up occurred when a producer went to collect the expert from the wrong reception in BBC Television Centre in West London.

Guy Goma- We Salute You!
 
yeah saw this earlier, bloody funneh, his reaction when they went to begin the interview :laugh: he still answered the questions mind you :P i hope he gets the job he applied for, GUY COMA WINS!
 
Hehe, wow...

Poor guy, i'd be a nervous wreck.

It's funny but I'm more impressed with the guy. He was shocked but he improved it really well. It was kind of hard for me to understand what he was saying for me though -- thickest accent I've heard in awhile.

Look closely and you'll notice the subtle differences in appearance.

That guy has a beard! I see the difference clearly. He's also got more hair on his head. Amazing they'd mix that one up.
 
All i can say is: a star is born! All hail Guy Goma:cheese:
