Overview

• George Gountas, a lighting designer for Comedy Central’s The Daily Show, won a Father’s Day Pedro Pascal lookalike contest at Manhattan’s Son Del North restaurant on June 15.
• He entered on a tip from stage manager Tyler Goldman and enlisted a neighbor stylist, then bested about 30 contestants to earn $50 and a year’s supply of burritos.
• Host Jon Stewart revealed he had never noticed Gountas’ resemblance before featuring him on the show less than 24 hours after the contest.
• Gountas said his wife would only embrace the spotlight if she could meet the real Pedro Pascal in person.
• He closed his interview with a direct on-camera plea to Pascal to arrange the meeting, a request that has yet to receive a response.
