The broadcaster was captured with his eyes closed while seated as a guest on UTV’s United Showbiz. The moment quickly attracted attention online, with many social media users sharing the clip and joking about his appearance.
However, Dan Kwaku Yeboah has now explained the circumstances surrounding the viral moment, revealing that he had experienced a very demanding schedule before joining the programme.
Dan Kwaku Yeboah explained the viral video
According to him, his activities began on Friday when he worked as the master of ceremonies at an event. The following morning, he travelled to Kumasi to attend a wedding before returning to Accra later that same day.
Upon arriving in the capital, the sports journalist said he went directly to Power FM as part of the media tour for his DKY Comedy show. He then proceeded straight to the studios of UTV to appear on United Showbiz.
Dan Kwaku Yeboah said the late finishing time of the entertainment programme also contributed to his tired appearance.
He noted that the show continued until about 2 am, by which time he had already spent most of the day moving between engagements.
Journalist reacted to online jokes
Addressing suggestions that he had fallen deeply asleep on live television, the broadcaster explained that he had only closed his eyes momentarily.
He also disclosed that someone captured the moment on video and shared it online while laughing about it. Rather than feeling embarrassed or offended, Dan Kwaku Yeboah said he found the clip very funny when it was sent to him.
He explained:
“I was an MC on Friday. On Saturday morning, I went to a wedding in Kumasi. When I returned to Accra, I went straight to Power FM for the DKY Comedy media tour, and after that, I went straight to UTV’s United Showbiz. Someone took a video of me and was laughing about it. The show ran as late as 2 am, and I wasn’t even deeply asleep; my eyes were just closed. When I received the video, I laughed a lot.”
