Not everyone has a chance to wake up and realize they’ve become a viral star. Back in 2017, political analyst Robert Kelly was all over the internet after a BBC interview turned into a relatable parenting moment that had the world laughing. While live on television, Robert’s two children, Marion and James, both confidently busted into the office unannounced. Everything about their entrance was perfect.
Robert handled it well, but during the video, you can see his wife, Kim Jung-a, burst into the room, panicking over the situation. It wasn’t necessarily an embarrassing moment. It was just a moment that reminded people that oftentimes people are juggling two full-time jobs at once. And sometimes they intersect. From then on out, people knew Robert as “BBC Dad.” In fact, during conferences that occurred after this video, sometimes they announced him as “BBC Dad” before “Robert.”
That moment has become even more relatable now in 2020. Since many of us are working from home, business has been conducted using sources like Google Hangouts and Zoom. And as most day cares and schools are closed, it means that people’s children are at home. So having kids bust in during your video chat? Very common.
