Professor's live BBC interview goes off the rails after his toddler and baby make surprise appearances

A little kid's attempted television debut Friday was spoiled when her father refused to share the spotlight. Robert Kelly, a political science professor at South Korea's Pusan National University, was doing a live Skype interview with BBC on Friday morning when all of a sudden a child walked into his office.

Kelly attempted to ignore the interruption — but then a baby rolled into the room in a bouncy chair. Shortly after, a clearly panicked woman dashed in to round up the kids.

"Pardon me. My apologies," Kelly said, trying to return as quickly as possible to the topic of South Korean President Park Geun-hye's recent removal from office. Watch kids make their entrance below. Becca Stanek
