Sir, would you please follow me...


In our last few P.R. classes before the end of this year, our instructor, Kenton Larsen, has been discussing media interviews with the class: the good, the bad, the other. We've seen the good; (a well-handled interview despite the obvious adversity), an interview with Bill O'Reilly and Jeremy Glick:



the bad; an interview with Tom Snyder and Johnny Rotten, singer of the Sex Pistols, appearing on the show to promote his new project PIL:



and the other, an interview that should have went very bad, but was handled very well considering the interviewee was the wrong person sitting in front of the camera. This clip is from a 2006 BBC interview with Guy Goma after he showed up for an accountant job interview and was mistaken for a commentator of internet music and the future of downloading. Goma's initial reaction as he is introduced is priceless, but he takes up the challenge and does very well considering he's in over his head.

Did Goma get the accounting job? He showed that he could think on his feet!
