During the women's long jump, after Team USA's Tara Davis-Woodhall clinched gold , the cameras returned to the studio, where it was anticipated that the foursome would comment on the American's performance.
However, Johnson was taken by surprise and had not yet finished eating. He also had his phone in his hand and microphone on the table, but adeptly swapped the items and joined in on the action - much to the delight of fans.
The BBC selected Johnson to cover athletics due to his track expertise, and it proved a wise choice, as fans have praised the pundit's work and thoroughly enjoyed this casual awkward moment.
The American and his trio of British colleagues were engrossed in the day's field events and were perhaps taken aback when their thoughts on the long jump were requested so swiftly, after the BBC switched from the men's javelin.
This not only surprised Johnson, but also former Team GB gold medallist Ennis-Hill. The heptathlon legend was unexpectedly broadcast next to Johnson, holding a fan, trying to cool down in the studio.
Logan's quiz on long-jump thoughts left her smiling and ready to comment, but not before Johnson showed his professionalism by finishing his last mouthful and delivering some expertise. The hilarious gaffe earned both Ennis-Hill and Johnson plaudits for their composure and humor.
Alongside them, the team including Logan, Lewis, and a host of other stars like veteran Clare Balding have been covering the Games, earning endless praise.
Balding, in her eighth Olympic games, has been lauded for her work. Her illustrious career spans Channel 4 and BT Sport, and she's fronted coverage for major events like the Grand National, Commonwealth Games and Wimbledon.
The team has also navigated us through some iconic moments for Team GB during these Games. Andy Murray's retirement from Tennis brought Balding to tears, making for an emotional watch for fans.
Keely Hodgkinson's 800m win, carrying the weight of Great Britain, was presented by the crew. Katarina Johnson-Thompson finally standing on an Olympic podium was one of the highlights of the BBC's coverage of the eventful Games, which has seen many more golden, silver, and bronze highlights.
