A news anchor got schooled by a guest when he mixed up the names of his panellists and went on a full two-minute rant on air.

Rahul Shivshankar, editor-in-chief at Times Now, invited two guests – Daniel McAdams, executive director of the Ron Paul Institute, and Bohdan Nahaylo, chief editor of Kyiv Post – on the show to discuss the ongoing war in Ukraine.

But the discussion turned to a fiery debate between the presenter asked the wrong guest to take a "chill pill".

Video shared online sees Mr Shivshankar addressing Bohdan Nahaylo as "Mr McAdams" and throwing a series of insults going so far as to blame him and “his people” for colonising the East.

He is heard shouting: "Mr McAdams, no hang on, hang on, if you are so concerned about Ukrainians get off the fence and put boots on the ground.

"Don’t lecture us here in India ok? I am not going to hear your lecture."

But the statement is intended for Mr Nahaylo, who has been talking non-stop the whole time, while Mr McAdams remains silent, looking confused.

Mr McAdams then cuts in and says: "I'm not talking! It's the other guy who has been talking, I haven't been able to say a word!

"Dear host, I have not said a word yet. I don't know why you're yelling at me."

The anchor stands on his ground and tries to correct him, saying: "I'm not yelling at you, I'm talking to Mr McAdams. The man has gone completely ballistic."

The executive director erupts and shouts: "I am Mr McAdams! I am Mr McAdams! I am Mr McAdams and I haven't even said a word!"

Mr Shivshankar pauses and apologises: "Sorry I got that confused."
