The wrong guy
This happened a few days ago when Guy Goma, a graduate from the Congo who went to BBC for a job interview, was mistakenly interviewed on BBC news 24 in place of an IT expert after a mix-up. This mix-up ocurred when the producer asked for Guy Kewney, who was due to be interviewed about the Apple vs Apple court case, after being pointed in Mr. Goma's direction by a receptionist, the producer checked "Are you Guy Kewney?" It's unclear why Mr Goma identified himself as the expert. Only when Ms Bowerman announced live on air the name and the title of the man did he realize there had been a mix-up.
This is the interview, but what was even funnier is that the reporter at the court agreed with him! Who needs the experts anyway!

I have heard about this yesterday evening - It was even shown in german news. You really gotta see how he looked like when she introduced him. I think he thought that it was kind of test, because he was applying for a job there.
